just a quick update for those that pay attention to international news and are concerned with the indian bombing situation. last friday there was a bomb in bangalore and another two bombings in ahmedabad on saturday. additional bombs were found in ahmedabad, bangalore and surat, along with other terrorist supplies. thankfully there were no more detonations. the death toll is around 50 with another 200 injured. as for who is at fault for these bombs, the press and police seem to think that a pakistani group is responsible, but apparently when anything bad happens, fingers immediately point to pakistan. i've heard rumors that it's an indian governmental group, but no one has actually claimed responsibility at this point. to add to this excitement, sunday there was a anonymous call to a news anchor in kerala that the next bombs was set to go off in kochi at 7pm. it was a tense night, but thankfully there was no bomb.
as a result, the international students are on strict 'lock down' as i like to call it. we are always either at home or at campus. which is safest considering suspicions are high, as is policy security. we are staying safe and getting work done from the safety of our two areas. so no worries my loved ones i am very much safe, but please keep this situation on your hearts and minds.
