Just One Thing: A terrible day in India
Millions of people are trying to attend a spiritual festival in India (that my wife's yoga teacher is also attending, we believe). There was a stampede and several people died. Reports suggest they are mostly women who were suffocated by the crush. The news report below notes that the start of the event was "slightly delayed." That's India for you.

(Note: if you see the word "crore", it's an unusual word I've only ever heard used in India that means 10 million.)
