    Indian Paramilitary Border Guard - Wagah border crossing

    This picture was taken four days ago, just a few hundred meters / yards from where a Taliban suicide bomber killed over 50 people yesterday (on the Pakistan side). It is the only land crossing between Pakistan and India.

    Very, very sad...

    Nice capture of the uniform! I also know the feeling of learning about a tragedy having occurred shortly after I've been to a particular place; it's very humbling.

    Did you by any chance see the ceremony that is performed there each day involving both sets of guards on the two sides of the border?

    Was thinking about you when I heard about the bomb, knowing that you were in the area.
