Out of the News: mourning today's Bombay and Srinagar blasts
A series of grenade attacks in Srinagar today put the valley back in the news... desperating! Why do we people need such a horrible event to get somehow back to reality, realising this conflict is not finished yet...
But I need to update kind of a "risk-report" to all of you who have been asking about "what risks for tourists travelling in Kashmir ?"... I was so happy to tell you about a good evolution of the situation, as it was now possible for both indian and western tourists to enjoy the beauties of the valley. Attacks occured, of course, but never tourists were hit not even targeted, but it seems times they are a changing...

This same day, some more blasts hit Bombay's city centre. Press people are yet linking this to the Kashmir issue... I can just hope it's not. But whatever, if it's not... we can just pray for the people not to suffer, and for officials to do their job..
