Hey folks...it's been a while....was in India for nearly 2 months...and i know i spoke of the trip with quite a bit of trepidation..but it was simply amazing...this miserable little patch of sand, for all its "glorious acheivements", can't hold a candle to our Bharath...
You know yer in India the moment you land, that stink of urine pervades the air (this is a smell that i will would become inured to within the next one and a half months).I was greeted there by smiling relatives who treated me like a prince, I was from DUBAI, after all... I didn't go clubbing, drink or smoke up, none of the usual stuff...just plain old innocent fun, go-karting with cousins, table tennis with a crazy uncle and a rather ill-fated hunting trip to Ooty. India's changed...fewer cows in the city, fewer beggars, but more garbage...Why is it that we strive to keep Dubai clean but unceremoniously take a leak wherever we feel like it in India? Stricter laws? A lack of democracy? But I digress from the topic, more on this later.
I've always loved Dubai, having lived here for all but 3 months of my life, but this is the first time I've actually come to see what a superficial place this is. No one really cares about the person next to him. That sense of camaraderie is one of the many things that i miss about that place.
Allright..Imna stop before this post becomes too whiny. Oh, by the way, jerry was in India too...stay tuned for his rant on how horrible it was.
Pandi out.
