Rebuilding German Bakery | |
Shrinath Navghane, a regular visitor at the eatery, has started a move to get it rebuilt. after discussing with other "regulars", Shrinath, along with friend Sahil Khan, decided to gather donations to reconstruct his favourite food joint blown up in the blast. The duo has formed a group 'rebuilding German Bakery' on Facebook and have appealed to people to contribute. The group formed on Sunday night had already crossed 2,513 members across India. | |
Writes V Khemnar an MBA student from a prominent city college, writes on his Facebook status message link, "Government says we cannot protect our citizens as our entire force was busy protecting the release of MNIK".
"It is really ironic that we are ill equipped to protect the city. If the city police would deploy cops at such regular intervals across the city, as they did at the theatres on Saturday then this might not have happened.
Who lost eventually? We the people,"" he writes a reply in anguish
While a post on the Facebook community of 'In memory of all those who died in the Pune Koregaon Bomb Blast', by Neerajana Datta read, "Lost my 3 scul (school) friends."
Another regular at the German Bakery, Olivia Joseph who works at one of the prominent hotels nearby writes on her wall, "That place was my favourite hangout for my evening cuppa of masala chai, after my shifts...I hope those who did this rot in hell,"
Apart from mourning the victims, the netizens were vocal in expressing their rage against the government's lack of ability to bring the guilty to justice.
However, along with the same feeling of anger and guilt is also a feeling of standing tall amidst ruins, as this post by L Shakih reads, "We can built a better German Bakery again...Keep the spirit alive."
We promise not to rest in peace till we avenge your loss!!!!!!!!!!! wherever u r hope that the place is better than this bloody world!!!!!!!!I never knew you!!!!but ur loss is like losing a friend..........
