It Isn’t Bollywood But It Sure Is Drama!

On the eve of my departure from New Delhi to Pune via Mumbai (Bombay) I received this rather alarming email message informing me of the unrest in my next two destinations. The flight to Mumbai didn’t concern me so much as the 4-hour coach ride onward to Pune. You see, Indian rioters preferred method of demonstration is to torch, as in burn baby burn, buses and trains!

Is this hyperbole in effect or type casting the next scene?

Stay tuned.

Hi Ms Skye

Hello Varsha,

Oh wow! No I was not aware of the riots.
The hotel staff has advised me to go to the airport in the morning and take the advice of the Jet Airways officials as regards proceeding to Mumbai and Pune.
The staff said Jet Airways would cancel the flight in New Delhi and possibly the coach ride from Mumbai to Pune if deemed too dangerous. Apparently the rioters are attacking government buses and official vehicles. I will check into a hotel near the Delhi airport if the flight is cancelled.
I am not carrying a cell phone so I will have to locate a phone when I arrive in Pune. I will phone upon my arrival.
Inshalla it will all work out.
Regards,
Skye
