Close Call

Got up this morning and checked the news. Turns out that the container depot (ICD) that we had visited two days back, and where our stuff was stored for a few days, caught fire yesterday.

It took about 12 hours for the firefighters to control the blaze. Thankfully there were no personal injuries, but the loss to property is sizeable - unofficial estimates for the total loss are around INR 500 crores (USD 110 MM). This happened hardly a day after our stuff had moved out of that warehouse! Close call...I guess a thank you trip to the nearest Mandir is on the charts now.
