Hi Narendra,

If it is possible for you choose between the US or eastern Asia to watch 
the Leonids 2001.
It is presumed only few Leonids will be vissble from India or Europe.
But wait only a couple of days when Meteoroids 2001 in Kiruna, Sweden takes of.
Latest predictions will be presented at this meeting.
Please note the time of the outbursts will only slightly change from 
earlier predictions.

Best wishes,

Casper.
