We're Safe


I am not sure how many of you reading this blog have heard about the attacks in Mumbai.
I am not going to lie it was shocking to watch what was going on live on TV. I felt like it was Sept.11th all over again. I know this is not my "home" country, but this country has been my home for the past couple of years and it is still hard to believe that this happenend. I am not sure what the reports are saying where ever you live, but the attacks took place in a major area of Mumbai. The terrorists targeted two 5 star hotels and were singling out US and UK nationals.


A total of 8 places were attacked and over 100 people killed and over 300 wounded.


The terrorists are still in the hotel Oberoi holding hostages. There has been continuous gunbattle between the terrorits and military.


Hopefully, this will all be over soon, until then please pray for the victims.




By the way....We are Safe!


Thanks to everyone expressing their concern. I will be back with a happier blog soon.








Photo Competition

Every year Global Adjustments, the relocating company that helped us move, holds a photo competition for expatriates. I decided to enter some of the photos we had taken throughout the year. They had four main categories, Faces, Places, Into India and Festivals. They also had a Humor category.
The requirements were that the photos had to be taken in India, given a caption and taken by an expatriate.
These are the photos along with their captions that I entered.......
