Strange Thanksgiving
Well today I’m getting through an awful food poisoning episode, a result of a delicious thanksgiving dinner that I had last night and the best hotel in the city. I just realized that when you are in India the first time you get sick is because of the water/dirty food.. now I’m getting sick because I’m not used to eating meat *I haven’t eaten since 3 months or so and it was something they offered in the buffet* but it was not only meat, it was a delicious tenderloin with gravy and scallions…sigh.
India’s terror attack really affected the security of tourists here, the hotel was checking for bombs in all the cars…the few foreigners that live here can’t help but feel targeted and a little scared, last night we all congregated in the hotel to eat and a very somber mood prevailed throughout the night, we had a lot of thanks to give, one, the terrorist where aiming to target thanksgiving event, they just got the date wrong, last year we celebrated it on the 26 I bet they didn’t know that this year it was on the 27. Two, I was thinking of the hostages that are still being held in Mumbai, this country is so wonderful and nobody deserves an experience like that.
I went to the gym yesterday morning and everyone was watching the news… a very eerie dejavu of 9/11 when I was in the States. There’s tension in the air, Indian’s are hurt by this tragic episode, they really enjoy and take pride of hosting tourist and expats and this is a huge blow for all of us. I didn’t watch the news, instead I kept working out my legs as hard as I could. You can’t live your life scared, when is your time its your time, and I plan to live my life to the fullest.
