(My fathers beautiful world). I have not had time to work on the blog at all this year, barely getting in any pictures. The picture you made a note on was my when I was with my son at his step mom's funeral. It was a very somber day. Tee is the man next to me, he is my ex father in law and my close friend. He lives a long ways from me, so seeing him is a blessing. I pray all is well and its wonderful to see you going strong with your blog. Many Blessings Joseph.

I was glad to see the Taj Hotel, scene of the Mumbai attacks in 2008, was mostly restored to its former glory. It's an impressive building.<br /><br />I really don't have much sympathy for terrorists whatever their cause.JIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158853419477455984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-78369052817918943992010-08-09T09:36:28.991-07:002010-08-09T09:36:28.991-07:00Today terrorism is becoming more widespread in all...Today terrorism is becoming more widespread in all parts of the world.

Gone is the age of innocence where travels were so free. Now checking into a hotel, as you rightly said, is like checking into the airport. I visited Southern Thailand several time and the security is equally tight. While this gives you a feeling of assurance and security, it also never fails to make you feel a bit jittery and uncomfortable. Anyway, the world has turned out to be like that, so let's live on.Thomas C B Chuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409261664865158735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-59696876564973634432010-08-08T16:44:31.390-07:002010-08-08T16:44:31.390-07:00Hello Joseph,

Duri...Your post brought back my childhood memories!<br />During our school days we could roam around New Delhi Airport at will, which was our playground!<br />Never heard a thing called security<br />then. We were friends with the Airlines personnel. They would give us the colorful baggage stickers from various Airlines like Japan, Malaysian Airlines etc. and we used them to label our school books and note books! <br />Now the rigmarole we have to go through in the name of security makes travel a pain.<br />But guess its a sign of the times we live in-<br />its better to be safe than sorry.Latha Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043305360380603144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-17764480018149569572010-08-07T20:59:01.776-07:002010-08-07T20:59:01.776-07:00Tightening of security, obviously, is necessary.

Security is everywhere, why going through customs and the airport is a virtual nightmare, one would be wise to wear shoes that is easily removed, light clothing and empty pockets because you will have to take off your shoes, empty all your pockets and walk through a full body scan detector in addition to being scanned again by a guard once you have gotten through. Its unfortunately a stable norm and one simply has to get use to it. The truth is though, you cannot help but feel a little sad about the state of the world.<br /><br />Have a blessed and joyful weekendRhapsody Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520384490148575528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-59312833074114544092010-08-07T12:29:07.641-07:002010-08-07T12:29:07.641-07:00Hello to you Joseph.
