Contemporary Nomads in Mumbai

This is obviously not a time to be in Mumbai. But the Contemporary Nomads, Tony and Thomas, are there. Their blog is generally very good, but right now it’s a must read. From their latest post:

Two men wearing backpacks and armed with machine guns were firing bullets in all direction blasting holes in a car’s windows below me. The men were literally just meters below, I clumsily threw myself back into the hotel room, yelling to Thomas to hit the deck between the bed and the solid cement wall next to it. The entire time machine gun fire was continuing outside. Terrified that the men might enter our hotel, I crawled back to the door and locked it. I jumped up and quickly found the panel of switches next to the door and switched off our room lights and the TV as well as our air-conditioning system, so that it would appear that our room was locked and empty.

I wish the best of luck to Tony and Thomas, and hope that they can find somewhere good and restful after the adventure they are stuck in right now.
