Not necessarily a great "good fortune" yet - but yes, an accidental good opportunity surely. Many a meal lost between the hand and the mouth, etc, etc. Conservative thinkers among Indians, while sure of the
direction of events still seem uneasy with the accelerated
pace of events (and not without good reason). Moralists among them will, no doubt, point out that nothing that starts with the misfortune of others (9/11) can definitely lead to good fortune of oneself - at the best it can be viewed as opening up opportunity, no more.
