India is everywhere, thanks to a simple rags-to-riches tale that is now in the running for an Oscar sweep.

Experience a slice of this Slumdog Millionaire at the Indian Bazaar on Valentine’s Day and indulge the senses with a mouth-watering array of yummy treats from some of Beijing’s finest Indian restaurants. Wash it all down with an eclectic choice of thirst quenchers not often seen in the city and even take home some munchies with plenty up for sale.

Ever wondered what it feels like to be draped in 6m of cloth? Have a go at wearing a saree and also get your hands painted with funky henna patters. Fret not, guys. You can try wearing an Indian turban! Lots of jewelry, handicrafts, home decor items and colorful clothing up for grabs. Also travel to the land of Danny Boyle’s Oscar dreams with helpful hints from India tourism officials and partake of India’s rich traditions in classical and folksy songs and dances in the day-long cultural show. And, of course, don’t forget to pick up a copy of SM at the DVD stall.

All table charges will go to charity.

This morning, when i came to the office, my college told me that i was lucky that we have came back from India. According to the reports, more than 80 people had been killed in the terror attack in Mumbai. In the afternoon, at least six foreigners have been killed and the death figure has gone up to 101.

First, it grieves to see that so many people are killed in the attack, as they are innocent. Second, i think this attack will deeply affect the business development of Mumbai, and even to the India. The situation is not good because of the global finalcial crisis. We think that as the most important developing countries in the world, China and India will do some contribution to relieve the bad situation. This two emerging power are not affected as bad as the weasten countris as they have their own financial system and ecnomic.

But the terror changed the situation. Lot of investment chance will disappear. And lots of business man will leave India as soon as possible. If the personnel safety can not be assured, then there is no business. We know that this will past after several days, but the fear will not moved with it.

What a pity!
