Saturday

So, as many of you have heard, there were 4 bombs detonated in Delhi on Saturday. I was no where near any of the explosions and am fine. I had assumed that this wouldn't receive much news coverage in the US. Apparently, I was wrong. Thanks to everyone that checked in - I feel very loved :)
Should something like this happen again I will try to send an email out saying "I'm okay". But hopefully this won't happen again. They shut down cell phone service for about 2 hours after the blasts (that is what everyone calls them here) so between that and the general confusion, it was a good 4 hours or so before we knew for sure where things had happened. The blasts were in the markets; only one of which I could be in as it is in the southern part of Delhi and has good stores. Delhi is a pretty Huge city; I live in the southern part and rarely venture above the mid-way point and the other 3 were in a more northern area; I hadn't even heard of one of the place before.
Definitely a reality check. Apparently a group has claimed responsibility but I don't know what their message was, other than to make people afraid of shopping. Well, I'm not going to change my ways; if I do then they win.
If anyone was thinking of coming to visit me please don't let this deter you. India is a beautiful country and should be visited.
Have a good Monday all!
P.S. to completely change subjects - way to go Pats!
