Well I am back again in Mumbai for 3 very busy days. The good news is that I am staying downtown, so the morning drive is much shorter and the hotel is very nice. The Trident is one of the hotels also attacked in 2008, or at least I assumed so after seeing the small monument to the staff and guests who died in 2008. I hope it wasn't due to something else that I wasn't aware of.
The other evening I noticed in the lobby a small crowd gathered behind ropes and later learned that IPL - cricket league - "Mumbai Indians" were staying at the hotel and practicing nearby. Since then have rubbed shoulders with the players at breakfast and in the elevator. Unfortunately I don't know who the hell each one is. They definitely look very fit. Today in the elevator a player got on and he started up a conversation with a little boy (in Hindi). After the player got off, the little boy turned to me and asked what team I played for? I was wearing a Man United football jersey and I also look very fit, so I understood his confusion.
