Mumbai is about a 2 hour flight away and on the opposite coast to Chennai, so we are not close to what is happening there although we are of course keeping up-to-date on all the developments. Most of the hotels in Chennai that we visit have all been very diligent since the Islamabad Marriot hotel bombing in September and while the level of security checks worried me at first, we have come to expect it.
Our current concern in Chennai is Cyclone Nisha who is still doing her stuff and depositing vast amounts of rain over Tamil Nadu and the forecast looks as though it'll continue until Sunday. Parts of the city are under several feet of water and people in some areas are being evacuated. At one point during DH's journey home last night his car was actually floating! I think we'll stay at home today. Here is a link to some photographs...
