as an american living inside this little westernized-bubble that is our campus, its sometimes easy to forget just where i really am. then something like this happens to remind me. while i feel as though i came well-prepared and with an open mind for the radically unknown, to say a lot of my experiences here are eye-opening is still probably an understatement.
don't worry, all the messy nastiness is happening up north, and i am way down south.
its still a little disconcerting, though.
check it out: you can see New Delhi (bombings) and Agra (Taj Mahal) up in central-north india.
way down south-central is Bengalore ('Bengaluru' - i am in Mysore, which is just southwest a couple of hours) and just east of that is Chennai (where i will be living come november).
