Can any of you politically aware (astute even) gentlemen offer any explanation for, or opinion on this.
Did it come totally out of the blue to everybody? What is the benefit to India?
Possibly the rupee will collapse and they will all go back to Mumbai. This would be an improvement, I took my two visiting friends down Walking St last night, not been there for a good while....... Unbelievable, wave after wave of them going in both directions (Indians, not my friends).

But they're part of Thailand's great new tourist hope.

Obviously the plight of Kashmir is not close to many hearts. Not to mine either. I just thought it was an odd move from India, likely to bring them more pain than profit.

You can never have two sets or rules in one country. I went there 45 years ago and it would be hard to find a more beautiful place or nicer people but two groups opposed to each other.

Were those the days when you could rent a houseboat on the lake and live for peanuts. Always fancied that but never got around to it.

Well yes, but for peanuts the boats were slums. I spent 3 weeks in a beautiful one having the boat and servant to ourselves. It was the end of the season though but hot water bottles under rugs work well.
