...York Times op-ed this weekend, Suketu Mehta, the author of an award-winning chronicle about life in Mumbai, wrote that he was already booking plane flights to his childhood city. He was going to have a drink at Leopold Café, which has reopened for business. It was his way of fighting back...
...lanky, 34-year-old architect, says he found in Soka Gakkai "a philosophy that can help us navigate these incredibly complex lives that we're living." He adds, "It doesn't require me to live in the mountains. It's a pragmatic way to live my life."

...Indian IL-76 transport plane flew to Kabul Monday to retrieve the bodies of four diplomats killed in a suicide bombing at India's embassy in the Afghan capital. The dead, who numbered 41, included a brigadier general, R.D. Mehta, who had started his post just five months ago and a foreign service officer, V.V. Rao, whose two-year tour of duty in Kabul was about to end. The bombing is likely to have regional ramifications, both for India's relations with the neighborhood and those of every other country supporting Afghan President Hamid Karzai...
