After 9/11, my publication at the time did the entire gamut of why Pune is a hard terrorist target. I then went undercover to look at the possibility of Al Qaeda sleeper cells in Pune. Far-fetched? Not to someone who lives, breathes and eats the city. Pune has for long been home to thousands of foreign Islamic students.
Sure enough, in one of the African ‘clubs’ near Quartergate, frequented by Muslim Sudanese and Somalians, I found evidence of Al Qaeda support.
I informed my cop contacts and they took over. I moved to soft-core journalism shortly after. Sadly.

Goras bombed in Pune
Finally, terror strikes my hometown of Pune.
I have long resented the manner in which Koregaon Park, where German Bakery is situated, capitulated to the gora and the greenback.
The cops are still deciding whether it is a bomb or whether it is a Muslim-linked terror attack; or whether someone like me overreacted to getting attitude from some Indian prick at the counter and bombed the place. Believe me, I have come close.
If it is a terror attack I’d hate to be in Pune right now. My beloved city does tend to over-react. Here comes the bandobast.
