Well, it finally happened, as we knew it would. Ajay got in an accident.
He had just dropped me at home and was on the way to get Randy, so he was alone in the car. That means we aren't really sure what happened or whose fault it was, but both cars lost their driver-side mirrors. (Yes, that would imply that a large disaster was narrowly averted :) The accident occured just outside the neighbourhood, so he called me and I went out there, but things are different here -

you don't call the cops (at least, we don't - foreigners like to stay off the police radar) so fault gets decided by the people involved and the guy at fault pays for repairs, or no fault is decided and your own insurance pays for your own car. Or you don't fix it at all and you drive around looking like you have rolled it over a time or two. That seems to be the option most people choose - you should see some of the cars on the road! Anyway, we feel lucky that the car has gone unscathed this long!

Oh, I am so sorry! But as you say, it must have, could have been much worse. No one injured, and car still runs. Is that a banged up wheel, or a bent axel, or just the way it's parked?
I'm wondering if you know where the rich Indians shop for Indian rugs. Have you looked for/at anything like that? Perhaps if you do, you can give me some idea of what they're like and what they cost in India. What color is most common, all that good stuff.
I was just reading "The Sam and Abby Connection." Are those messages between Sam and a friend in WA? Are the kitchen cupboards in WA or India?
Is everything OK there. I keep waiting for another addition and nothing coming. A suggestion if you've done any shopping, write about Indian rugs.
