Thank you, England and thank you, KP

A bit late in thanking the team but was quite busy with other household chores. The first test match is already on with England having a decent first day. (Could have had been better given the start they got)

To be back to a country where you saw a massive terrorist attack only last month - where foreigners, tourists and the rich were specially targetted, where the very hotel where you would normally stay was under seige - is in deed a matter of courage, in my view. How would you convince your wife and kids, your parents that the place is safe. You might know it because you have travelled to other places in the country but may be not your wife, kids or parents.

Some of my friends want to go to Bangkok for their CFA examinations this June but the recent events have made them rethink and may be opt for Singapore. This despite the fact that Bangkok now appears to be almost safe for tourists/visitors but why take any chance.
