In two days, I head back to India, this time for two to three weeks. I admit, I've been a tiny bit concerned, what with the goings-on in my port of call. However, this email from the Indian office certainly set my mind at ease:
"The Bombay situation is OK now. The blasts haven't caused significant disruption so there's no reason to change plans. The only hitch may be a riot breaking out but the probability is low. The rains have also subsided.
I will keep you posted. Worst case, you may have to re-route your flights via Delhi."
Oh goody. Let's sum up, shall we?
Explosion: Minimally disruptive
Riot: Possible, but unlikely
Flood: Subsiding
Plague of locusts: Any day now
Rain of frogs: 30% chance
Um...whew. Isn't that a relief.
