Don't worry, I'm all right!

In case you haven't heard, there was an explosion at the German Bakery here in Pune this evening (Saturday) at around 7 pm.  Eight people were killed and 33 were injured but the cause of the explosion is still unclear.  They suspect that it was a bomb, but the incident is under investigation.  

Fortunately, no one from our group was there at the time so all is well!  I was eating dinner with my Indian classmate (my only Indian classmate and friend), at a restaurant far from the site.  We didn't actually know about it until my host mom called and told me that it would be best if I came home early.  

Just wanted to let you all know that I am safe and sound.  I actually had a great day today: slept in, ate lunch with two other girls from the program, went to the house of one of them where we hung out for a while before going to a fair with her host mom to buy a shirt and some other beautiful Indian things.  =)  Tomorrow I will be going with my host mom to a family Valentine's day party and then Rajesh, my host bro, will come back from his overnight trip to Mumbai so that we can celebrate Valentine's Day a bit more.  =)  

I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!  Happy Valentine's Day!  I will let you know when I find out what the cause of the explosion was.  

Love, Kaia (^_^)
