Rewind to 26th/27th July - 12.20 am- Its my roomie on the phone- "hey Smits we at Pindis for dinner ..u wanna join in? ..."I would have but just that I am in the studio for last three hours "... she asks - "But why?" ... "hello.. ain't u aware of blasts in Ahmedabad this evening? 40 killed and more than 100 injured..toll rising every minute...there's high alert in the country... Delhi on red alert..u watch out' ..."What!! ..am clueless.ok ,I'll call u back...need to check on my cousin in Ahmedabad..."' and even as she disconnects...I hear a man in the background letting hell loose upon the waiter for the pooor service in the restaurant.. Well, I do not blame my roomie or other people for being where they were at the time referred to ... and it's not even unusual for a large population to be completely ignorant that a city bleeds at...
