had been laid up in bed for the past 3-4 days and ended up watching CNN for 4-5 hours a day. Pictures of the devastation by hurricane katrina, the inability of FEMA to control the situations, the superdome, people fleeing and crying..images showing fragility of human survival. President Bush appears for his first major press conference with his dad Sr. Bush on one side and Ex-Pres Clinton on the other.I thought it was symbolic..his inability to stand up on his feet on his own.
Mumbai seemed nothing compared the magnitide of the katrina devastation. The Chief Minister actually had the cheek to say that he handled the mumbai disaster better than the Katrina diaster in teh US. Is the guy out of his mind ? Does he really believe himself ? we are in deep deep trouble if he does.Though it was a wake up call for the mumbaikars.
Looking forward for our much awaited trip to Kashid..a small seaside place on the konkan coast in maharastra.I am told you can't do anything there. just walk by the beach, eat the local food and sleep.Purrfect!
