Our forthcoming trip to India

As most of you know, we are due to be in India on boxing day. Our Dear Friends Gitu & Sunnil are organising it.

This is the email Gitu sent to us today:

Dear all

Just dreadful what has happened in Bombay. Everyone that we know is fine thank god.

Hope you are all not freaked out. If it was going to happen then better now. Very low chance of it happening again in a month and the security will be hightened.

Having grown up in Lagos and London we tend to be quite fatalistic about things like this - its the luck of the draw.

Speak soon,
G

We are delighted and relieved all is ok with their family and friends. I guess we all tend to forget how Londoners suffered terrorism with the IRA for 20 years! Italy did in the 70s and 80s with the red brigades; Milan was a "war Zone"... Spain still have big problems with ETA...
