Parsi food ? Ever since I saw a documentary on Parsis on the NGC and tried out the food in Gujjuland ( Amdavad), I have been waiting for a second chance!. Will definitely try it next time in Bombay (oops Mumbai). BTW, how did sali chicken get it`s name ? The sali is chicken or ...... rgds das read more...

I think this title should be apt for Gurgaon. Every body tries to fleece you, be it the neighbourhood shopwala or the property dealer. BTW I think the property dealer density of Gurgaon may be the highest in the world. My stay in Gurgaon has marred by the Bijli of the BSP. Areas like Sector 56 are a read more...

Just got hit by one of those buggers ( delivery boys) when I was walking down the road yesterday. Rajasthan is one of the places in the country where you can have a look at the new styles of driving esp 2 wheelers. ( I have stayed in Udaipur and Beawar for nearly 9 years :)). But at least we dont read more...

That was the best so far. I thought that Nokia had low end CDMA models and all the Gor eyo companies made the better CDMA`s. regds dasho

Gurgaon is no better than a gaon when it comes to the BSP ( Bijli, sadak, Pani) issues. You can see roads but driving on them is a different issue altogether. You never know when some idiot decides to cross in front of you. Power - imagine cuts of 8 - 10 hours a day - villages get more power. Paani read more...

You said it. I was so happy to see these guys faces after they learnt about Tata and Videocon takeovers. They have a HUGE superiority complex - and a HUGE ego. I enjoy sparring with them - time pass ho jata hai. Thanks for the RRC and hope your son is doing well. Dasho

I was in Changwon - a place down South for the first couple of months and there was nothing over there - just clean roads and organised traffic. Was shifted to Seoul and landed up in a Korean area. Wanted to shift to one of the foreigner addas but that was quite far off. There was a lot more to wr read more...

They are extremely good copycats - and are extremely proud of the copied stuff they put out. They deliberately price the Korean goods higher saying that it is of a better quality (than the original ones also!!) - shopkeepers show the Made in Korea label and say very good and try to palm of the stuf read more...

Hi !! I remember a time when both Kahani ... and Kyonki .... used to be telecast on Star. These 2 serials were very popular at that time and I had no idea that they would drag on so long. Are they trying to get the award for longest running serials ? Rgds Dasho

We Indians are the the ones who follow all the rules abroad but in India - Sab chalta hai. It is our birthright to break the rules and if anyone ticks us off, well he is a fool. Once I was waiting for my turn at the prepaid taxi counter at IGI. A young fellow darted in and tried to get to get a tax read more...

I know the feeling - one wrong move and you are gone - the water hits real hard. Dasho

Ueah - you said it - we are getting older now - on the other side of the generation gap !!! Benefitted a lot from the throw in - managed to learn swimming ( freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and BS). Was a lousy diver though. Had to give it up though, no pools around my area now. Enjoy your swi read more...

Good one !!! Getting in the water is the most difficult thing - my father threw me in the pool ( with an inflatable tube - in case of any doubts of his intentions) when I was all of three years old and I howled like anything ( he tells me to this day).

A good road trip - you`ve written an excellant review. Met any special characters ? Would love to hear about them. Dasho

Extremely useful for ' financial knowledge challenged ' ( politically correct terms !!!) like me who do not know much about the market. I always preferred Bank FD`s ( easy liquidity) and PO schemes where the money was safe - and returns were less. Met a MF marketing guy once and he used so many te read more...

This incident was while travelling on Saudia. Another time, Gulf gave me 2 small samosas for lunch with assorted leaves - felt like mooing. (no hugs please, I am a bull!).

Great revu Doc ! I guess the debate on veg or non - veg food has been going on for a long time. Veggies travelling abroad have a huge problem as Daya has experienced.
