Two years ago today Mumbai was attacked with terrorists taking control of the Taj, Oberoi and other landmark hotel and killing '00 of people. Doesn't seem possible when you actually see these places, the extreme violence totally at odds with the impressive opulence of these places where you would expect to be safe and pampered.
Lots of stories in the papers, including the one about the fishermen who landed the terrorists at the Gateway. Apparently they did question the terrorists but were told to mind their own business. Special training has now been given to the fishermen to ensure that they report any terrorist activity to the Coastguards. In fact, just help the fishermen get over the trauma and check how they would act if it happened again, the security forces pretended to be terrorists and staged a training session.....without telling the fishermen. Any other place in the world and there would be a massive lawsuit for the stress caused, but not here.
Proudly rode to Nursery with Darcy this morning, the ride to Nursery was ok, hard work but ok. The ride back home left me sweating buckets in the heat and it took me about an hour to cool down. Goodness knows how thee guys ride them all day long with massively heavy loads - the most impressive has to be six large gas cylinders, even empty they weigh about 15kg each!
