I suppose I am due a few words on this Earthquake in Sikkim.
Apart from the selfish point that only a few days ago, Ghada and I was walking in Pemayangtse monastery, which has been badly hit in the earthquake and it seems we missed the thing by a hairline, perhaps because Ghada had decided to spend an extra week in Lebanon instead of extending the trip in India. Ghada and I were naughtily peeking behind the curtain-covered depictions of deities (Good And Evil), before heading to speak to the director in this very monastery.
While every disaster is heart wrenching, it seems almost surreal to think that the images I see today on the news are places I walked in only moments ago (or so it seems).
I hope everyone is well, the children, the people we met. I can't seem to stop thinking about the incident.
