Feels a bit strange being in a Country celebrating its independence from British rule. I watched a program on the way India was carved up before the British left, rather hurriedly in the end. The chaos that led upto independence, the unrest, blood shed and pain suffered, reminds me of the efforts in Afganistan - not our country, not our battle and ultimately once you stop fighting a loosing battle the Country will quickly regain the level it is capable to run at. If that means war and bloodshed or peace and democracy them this is how it will be, what can actually be achieved?
Had lunch with friends at the JW Marriott on Juhu beach. Lovely food, just far too much choice prompting you to eat to much! Afterwards we went for a short walk on Juhu Beach, so lovely to be by the sea again. We soon got completely surrounded and very uncomfortable, people staring at us mutely and taking pictures - rather like being surrounded by a herd of cows (minus the picture taking!)
