		<description><![CDATA[Gwyn Hughes Chairman of Pinpoint Communications, London

In early January I visited Mumbai to discover the mood of the city after the November incidents and to visit the hotels affected. Both the Taj Mahal’s new wing and the Trident Oberoi have reopened and I stayed at the latter. There is little sign of the incidents at either excepting increased security, which posed little inconvenience but provided reassurance, and a moving tribute memorial at the Taj. Ongoing renovation of the famous old wing proceeds with no impact on guests as a result of very clever screening and many of the public areas including the elegant swimming pool are back in use.
