My experience in traffic

January 23, 2011

I was coming home from my hostel when I got stuck in a horrendous traffic jam! Well, one might feel that traffic jams are an integral part of life in Mumbai. But interestingly, the traffic jam was not due to the traffic but due to a traffic police officer. That's right, the person responsible for managing traffic was causing a great deal of agony to many on the road. For one, he refused to let us pass, despite there being a green signal at his own whims. He did this not once, not twice, but five times- five full times. Then he finally decided to show some mercy and let us go. In addition to this arbitrary behavior, he was extremely mean to other vehicle drivers, actually, mean is an understatement for his behavior. He made some drivers go straight despite them wanting to take a right just because they attempted to overtake another vehicle, and was abusing people for no apparent reason.It sure frustrated me and made me think. This is the state of our system. Anyone and everyone with

My Egypt Story - Part 1 - Itinerary - 16 Days

January 06, 2019

Hello! Just to give you a background: my husband and I toured Egypt from December 16, 2018 to January 1, 2019. I am going to share with you the itinerary I prepared for us as well as the ideal itinerary I would have preferred in retrospect. Just to let you know, both of us are history and architecture buffs; so every opportunity to see a different structure or something which was of great historical / geographical significance was given a higher priority. We visited almost every museum we came across and were not the least bit disappointed. We visited the Suez Canal purely because of its geographical significance; else after seeing the Nile, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea there was no good reason to see another water body which we could not even photograph. Also, we did a lot of research for months in terms of history, food, culture in ancient Egypt etc. So, this is what we did:- Day 1 - Cairo: We landed in Cairo on 16th December, Sunday, early morning. After a nice bre

The best thing in the world

April 28, 2011

I was reading Shantaram, wherein Karla, the female protagonist, asked everyone on the table @ Cafe Leopold, what according to them was the best thing in the world. Some of the answers were- power, money and freedom. Each person talked about the thing that they valued the most.I thought about it a lot and a zillion things came to my mind- I couldn't pinpoint one single thing that I really desired and valued. After analysing my thoughts I realised that, for me, sleep is the best thing in the world. Sleep has been glorified in many mythological tales and fairy tales too. In Ramayana, Ravana's brother, Kumbhakarana, slept for half the year and was awake for the remaining half. This was because, he was so gigantic, that the Gods feared that if he would be awake for the entire year, he might just eat up all the livestock, food supply and may be even human beings! And even though he may have not liked the fact that he was sleeping for half his life, it was a boon to everyone else arou
