Turn the trashcans over please

Saturday afternoon another blast went off in a crowded market in Mehrauli in southern Delhi. Apparently the bomb was dropped off the back of a motorcycle by accident; a teenage boy went to pick it up and return it to the cyclist and was immediately killed. Another man died at the hospital later in the evening and twenty-two were injured.

I have been trying to gauge the reaction of Delhi locals, but it seems to be an understood part of life here. Some people are staying inside, away from crowded markets and possible targeted location, while others continue to go about their day-to-day lives, not allowing these random acts of violence dictate their movement and lives. Security has been tightened in many public places, with additional security guards monitoring incoming scooters and cars at markets parking lots for example. I hope this doesn't become too common an occurrence, but there's definitely no logic in this haphazard disregard for the lives of others.
