recipe for a good holiday

6 friends on a trip to Goa ...

To Goa by Paolo Travels,
Stay in Terra Paraiso, Calangut

Day 1:
Sumptuous Goan lunch
Walk along Calangut beach
A good sleep
A night at Royale Casino, unlimited food and drinks

Day 2:
Drive to Arambhol in a Zen Estillo
Time spent by the waves and the sand
The good ol' Hooka in a beaten beach shack
Goan lunch with some rock music
Water sports in Calungute beach (the incomplete banana ride and some para gliding)
All dressed up for dinner at Cape Town Cafe topped with awesome port wine
Dance all night in Titos
Drive to beaches which are open over night with the sound of your brawling friend's at the background
Baga at 2 am, with a rug underneath, stars overhead, sound of the waves, and your friends lying close around

Day 3:
Drive to Anjuna with 6 whole people cramped in a tiny little Zen Estillo
More driving to Querim with a lot of shifting at the back seat to avoid 'heat pores'
Some Goan beach dance choreography and videography
Peaceful sleep on the benches with strong breeze, the smell of oranges and ready-made maggi
Subway and King's beer for lunch
The loooong drive to the airport with some awesome entertainment

Back to Bangalore in AirIndia

Home Sweet Home

just a thought...

When people are talking about months in a year, ever wondered how they usually go Jan, Feb but when it comes to the other long named months, they never say Dec or Nov or Oct, it's always December November October etc..

After some serious much-required thought, the only probable reason I could think of was that 'January' and 'February' are more tongue twisting than the fellow months.. and on further thought it also seems like saying Oct, Nov is more tongue twisting than using their actual names..

Phew! ..

Dubai vs India

  • No elections, no waste of time, effort and money, no false promises. I don't even have to start with the Indian equivalent of the same.
  • The ruler doesn't have to spend time strategizing ways to keep his seat, as if not his, it'll be one of his family. Here more brains, think tanks.. et al are used to plan ways to win an election than is done to improve the city.
  • As the rule has been coming down from generations, the king would take personal pride in seeing the city of his family grow unlike here in India where a flyover is built by congress just because an underpass was built by bjp with zero planning and foresight.
  • The king owns most of the city, and if need be he gives his own money for the development of the city. Thus has a lot of respect from the residents. In aka India, every politician is trying to be a king and is trying to acquire land/property by shelling out money from the residents pockets. So it's reverse synergy in motion here.
  • Even though the local group is a minority, they have made it clear who the boss is so even though everyone is allowed to do their thing and live life the way they want it, the basic rules of Islam have to be followed by everyone which in fact is not a big inconvenience. Back home, everyone tries hard to prove which group is more local than the other and thus who s rules are more important than the others and in this quest end up breaking the remaining rules.

So even though democracy seems like a cool rule, doesn't seem like it's doing too good in a country like India with a vast population.
But then Hey!, I wouldn't have been able to put up this article if not for democracy :)
