I rose incredibly early this morning (6:30am) for a conference call with some of my teammates scattered across the US. After a productive call, I was sitting here reveling in all that I’ll be able to get accomplished this morning because of my extra early start….just as soon as I get a cup of coffee, that is.
But before I could even get there, I jumped on Twitter and saw Om Maliks posting: Breaking: Blomb Blasts HIt Bangalore,Impact Be Felt in Silicon Valley and my heart sank.
Having lived and worked in Bangalore a few years ago, I still have alot of old colleagues, friends and an ex-boyfriend who are currently living and working there. The general sadness that one feels reading a story like that about anywhere in the world is compounded dramatically when you have loved ones in the area that could have been impacted.
These senseless acts of violence have always perplexed me. What on earth have the hard-working, warm, caring people of Bangalore done to deserve such horrors? There, or anywhere else, for that matter. The answer is: nothing. I feel sick.
