This is not the first explosion at an Indian festival this year. Its also the second explosion involving fireworks in this Chinese Year of the Monkey. The recent new moon was on the 'Day of Belief' so there was bound to be some activity. A lot keeps on happening at the Indian temples doesn't it?

This happened at a time when William and Kate are on tour in India.

This morning when I woke up I was given the location of 'Strasbourg'. Is there a connection?
