Mumbai - Thanksgiving

I know you have all heard about the tragedy in Mumbai. We are in Gujarat at the Fulbright conference. We are deeply affected by these events. We are with many scholars and teachers that are living in Mumbai as teachers and researchers. I wanted to post to let you know that we are safe. Mr. Larry Schwartz, from the U.S. Embassy, opened our conference today and has been keeping us informed about the situation in Mumbai. We wish all victims our blessings and would like to encourage the world not to judge these events at face value, but to look at larger global issues and try to make peaceful and positive changes to benefit mankind. Namaste.

Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for our families, friends, students, co-workers, and to be safe and representing America.
