The Taj Mahal hotel, Mumbai


It was almost exactly a year ago that I visited Mumbai, that I sat and had coffee with a colleague in the salon of this hotel which is now the the scene of devastating terrorism. One tries to not let the memory of a place be completely rewritten, but the sight of the burning hotel and the violent chaos is now overlaid on the memory of Mumbai's sights, smells and noises.
