An interesting thing - there is bird flu in India now, and they are culling chickens like mad up in West Bengal.
There were minor explosions in Kolkatta and Delhi last week.
Bad news does not have the same impact here. I hate to say it, but you get used to seeing and hearing tough things, so you just hear it and watch your immediate surroundings.
Notably, related to bird flu, we have chickens and roosters on our street, more or less feral.
I am working with a group of Bank associates here to develop a culture of fun and enjoyment in the organization, and they offered that it might be fun to take the team to Lumbhini Park - where the bombing happened when we first moved here. We talked it through, and then I asked if they felt any reservation about bringing a group to that park. They uniformly said "no". One guys said something interesting, "Everywhere is safe and everywhere is unsafe."
