Explosions

Just read that there were bombings at two separate locations in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.  One of them was at a Hindu temple and the other was at the train station.  According to reports, one bomb went off in a train car and the other just outside a ticket counter.  12 people are reported dead and many more wounded. –CTV.ca

This gives me the chills because I was at that train station just over two months ago.  I remember sitting in the second class waiting room watching Indian TV.  Some guy came up to me and said, “Aren’t you cold, Sir?”  I had been wearing shorts at the time.

I guess this is no different than hearing about Indian bus accidents and then proceeding to ride the bus.  You really can’t let events like this stop you from going places…especially a place like Varanasi – Hinduism’s holiest city.
