Im back..but now with wheels on my ass

I've never blogged since i left my old job(career whatever u say). Rather it should be better interpreted as i was too busy to pen anything after returning to my hometown that too with a gap of 9 years !!

Lots of things have happened in this short period. Getting blessed to accept lots of abuses since being in a sales job & after replying to all those bullshit 'understandings' from your superiors that come at the fag end of a day, you are never in a mood to pen anything romantic. Underlined, it never says you cannot be romantic after being a salesman( to those pretty eyed neighbors who give a glimpse sometimes)

Jokes apart today i got an alarm call from one of my new best friends late evening. I still cannot explain the enthusiasm in his words to let me know about a petrol price hike. He started with a paraphrasing that whether i got my car fueled today? The answer was a big no.Even the newest of my team mate knows that my dad is my cars sponsor & that answers the why.

Whatsoever i was shocked this time to hear the hike is at a range of 10%. God !!! More than what will happen to my lil petrol champ, i was wondering to what will happen to my country. The GDP & GDR depends on this yellowish fuel & hence a double digit inflation growth is also on the way.So what does UPA want the people to do??

As every Indian i can understand that tomorrow or day after tomorrow(for sure) should be a hartal. But holding a hartal will one increase the intake of yet another yellowish fuel ,the mighty liquor & getting you hallucinated. What else?? What is the solution to this sky rocketing petrol prices? I never believe a comparison of the prices with that of Pakistan or nigeria & blaming the so called 'govt' will prevent in shedding that extra pennies from your pocket.Else it may be worthier to shout for the govt support to automobile manufacturers in exploring new avenues of alternate fuel technologies.

Happy to hear about Tata's innovation of air powered car some weeks back. Gasp !! If something tangible like that never comes, i should find a surgeon. for those wheels on my ass ....

My mustache has grown

Mustache .... 'cheee' is the prima facie report from any girl i've seen in Kolkata.In contradiction to that i could hear "Errr so hot manh !!!" in Kerala.

Why is it ??

Pragmatic that this is just a portion of hair well groomed just beneath your nose !! Neither it smelled to be a "yeek" nor i did understand the need for that piece too . May be just as a trunk for a male elephant . Even god knows that some discrimination with a female are always a mandate

Okie then why this much of difference in opinion among these females?? I dont know.May be thery need to watch some good english movies buddy !!

Is there any word "Broship'

Let me be straight forward. I am too enthusiastic to view spell bee programs in CNBC with an aim to throw ahead new words in office presentations. Today 7th Jan’11 I’ve been searching the online dictionary if a new word ‘BROSHIP’ has been coined or not.
No way do I find a better word to describe my ‘friend-cum-bro’ Chidambaram. A 26 year old me have exponential number of friends, hundreds of good friends, 14 close friends and a couple of best friends as now now. Nevertheless I can accommodate Chidambaram in any of these ‘clusters’ I’ve mentioned.
Chidambaram (Annan as I call him)joined in my office after getting transferred from Chennai plant .This 6+ foot,93kg,’mustachwala’ ,union leader was a terror in first sight. His audacious nature was truly a pie on the cake. A complete package, you may say!! My tender heart hesitated to be friendly with him in the initial days. Why friendship? Even I was afraid from heart to speak to him. It is that terror which I had 3 years before, has overturned to ‘Broship’ now . As he says always ‘God is great’. You won’t know when & how you come across people with ‘beautiful heart’ & how they become valuable to you. More than a friend, a brother to me he cared, advised and guided me during this tenure of 3 years.
It’s well said that you will miss your eyes when you loss vision. I miss him a lot now; nevertheless I feel that this is just an interval amid a never ending movie. The words of my boss during his relieving party sounded good “There are lot many people whom you can come across as good employees; but you will get only a few as good human beings”. Take care bro.

Hasimara to Bhutan in 358 minutes

Joseph, Mr.Joseph or Joseph uncle. .... You can give any salutation to Joseph alias Varghese. He was the artist who scribbled the cute little beautiful place ‘Hasimara’ in my hearts. May be because of Mr. Joseph I am always enthusiastic to travel to this territory of Hyundai in North Bengal. Located at about 2 hour distance from New Jalpaiguri (gate way of North Bengal) this cute little town is famous for tea estates in plains. It is very much different & scenic than the usual highland tea estates.

The gate way of Bhutan known as Phuntsholing is about 20kms drive from Hasimara station. However you have to set your watch 30 min ahead in Bhutan as the country falls in different time zone. Immigration clearance needs to be done in immigration office at Phuntsholing.Unless you have any agent over there, it will take a day to get the clearance.

You can take vehicle from India to travel anywhere in Bhutan; nevertheless it requires separate permit for entry. The snake line roads are too scary even though it is a must for an adventurous me. Cliff guards have not been placed at many points & you should have a really experienced driver in highland roads to ensure you safe reach there.

SUV/MUV type of vehicles is apt for the journey as the roads are very much bumpy & you need to curtail deep ditches en route. Hence my Innova gave good comfort even in those roads.

Paro – The Princess

Paro as the name itself sounds is a plain in this hilly Bhutan. The only airport in Bhutan is located here. ‘Druk Airlines’ will cost around Rs.18000 for a return flight to India.

The ‘Druk’ is the Thunder Dragon" of Bhutanese mythology and a Bhutanese national symbol. A druk appears on the Bhutanese Flag, holding jewels to represent wealth. In the Dzongkha language, Bhutan is called Druk Yul, or Land of Druk, and Bhutanese leaders are called Druk Gyalpo, Dragon Kings - because of Druk. During the Bhutanese mock election in 2007, all four mock parties were called the Druk colour Party. The national anthem of Bhutan, Druk Tsendhen, translates into English as 'The Kingdom of Druk'.

Even though you will see the pictures of male genital organ & female breasts displayed in almost all prominent locations, it never means Bhutan to be a place for sex tourism like Bangkok. The place is sacred & naked body is pious for the people of Bhutan.

Paro valley is enchanting,masquerades all the hardship you’ve taken during your travel. Royal museum,monasteries,Tukung monastery(tigers nest) etc are some of the places of interest in Paro.It can be called heaven for trekkers as lot many options are left aside for them.

Thimpu

Thimpu being the capital city & throne of the king has got all its importance. Even if other parts of Bhutan doesn't restrict smokers as such, you may get caught in Thimpu for any breach of law & orders. Foreign nationals from SAARC nations are given liberty in many organizations, even for tickets & passes.

Kings palace, Takin forest reserve,Lee Hong Monasteries, night clubs (don’t expect strip-at-ease here) etc are places of interest. I couldn’t cover Bhumthang known as the Switzerland in Asia,

A 3 day trip is more than enough to cover Paro & Bhutan,never-the-less you plan for adventure trip with trekking & river rafting in plan its better to make it for a week

On our way back we bought some Bhutanese apple as memoir. May be those were the worst apples I've ever had. All curses to the off season time.

When we were about to board our train back to Kolkata from Hasimara we settled the expenses between ourselves. At a cost of 8000 per person , it was a not bad trip,except those serpentine roads which pained our ass for 6hours one side !!!

Those were poking cliches

CASE -1
On a fine day morning @ home,that too on the day I stepped in at kerala for a vacation.

Q : " Hello u've come? so is it onam vacation?"
Me : A polite answer with that usual giggle " haha everything fine..hw about u? any hot news"
Q : " When did u come & when'll u go"??

It may poke you to give a blow to his popping nose on hearing this Q. Mannhh im just home & you wanna drive me away so quick???
__________________________________________________________________
CASE-2
The next was a query from my visitor. Excuse ( he is my close relative)

Q : " Hey heard you've come when i called your mom yesterday"
Me: "ha she told me. Hope things are fine at your end"
A quick rebound from that questionnaire
Q : " You've been too dark? whyyyy.... you need to roam around in Sun there?"

EEEEhhhhhhhhh ahhh.. pls not comment on my complexion . A*****. (With all respects for your seniority)
___________________________________________________________________
CASE-3
Its a routine for my mom to drag me to as many as family relatives houses when i drop in at kerala
My Uncle on the first sight when i rang the calling bell

Q: "Hey,,who is this..You are looking smart dude"
It really contradicts what the last character had quote
Q:" So..... when are you getting married?"

Okieeee..why you have your girl left for me to marry or what??? Leave me man.Just make me pleasant pls ..
____________________________________________________________________
Conclusion

You may drop in jeopardy if you start responding to all these cliches. Cliches are always cliches but, get accustomed to it to avoid yourself getting poked.
Moreover people should have some topic to start with right??? Thanks to my english lecturer for letting me know what a cliche is .

Smiles.............

FAG. Its no longer cool, dude

He may be a lunatic with utmost level of insanity to believe like that. I couldn't find any reason when he lit that 2 inch wrapped poison for the sake of impression;to simply get attention among crowd.

It was not only my close friend 'X' but also a thousand lads I might have seen smoking with a vague idea of showing their level of modesty. I didnt find anything that much 'cool' if you smoke.No where does it count when you fag in front of your girl friend too!!

If you smoke to silhouette your so called 'tensions'; no dude your thoughts are repeating on that particular 'tension' when you smoke.

Infact if you wanna display that 'coldness' better kiss hard !!!..atleast that 'll vote for your adrenaline ( fingers crossed)

For you my Diana

Around the corner I have a friend,

In this great city that has no end,

Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,

And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,

For life is a swift and terrible race,

He knows I like him just as well,

As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine but we were younger then,

And now we are busy, tired men

Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name.

'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on her

Just to show that I'm thinking of her.'

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,

And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner, yet miles away,

'Here's a telegram sir,' 'she died today.'

And that's what we get and deserve in the end.

Around the corner, a vanished friend

Remember to always say what you mean.

If you love someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself.

Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets.

And most importantly, stay close to your friends

and family, for they have helped

make you the person that you are today!!!

Ami aar Amar Kolkata

Perplexing!!! Is this a metro city? No mam it doesn’t have any trait of that. ‘I know’ she says. She may be one among the beautiful innocent babes that Kolkata may boast of. She is worthy to be praised for her mild behavior & innumerous ‘qualities’ (I'm sure she’ll fight for this word) that the dudes here lack of.

Step out of ‘Subhash Chandra Bose’ airport, Kolkata you can see a hell lot of cab drivers with a usual pose of bottom’s Up of T-Shirt, patting their sweet rather cute pot belly. A particular Bengali dude will be with ‘Zero’ size in Chest, biceps, triceps, calves & all sought of muscles except tummy.Pls don’t confused with size zero of enchanting Kareena Kapoor

When I say about pot-belly well known as ‘Kudavayar’ in Malayalam;it is a favourite body part in Bengal. Maintained by the constant & continuous use of Potatoes in every possible dish (exceptions in kheer!!) ‘sex appeal’ factor of dudes here is also linked with this pot belly. Proportionate to your financial capacities, size of pot belly may differ.

In this city of joy lack of planning reiterates everywhere. It may be the ditches enroute to Park Circus, drainage lines in mid of state highways,’ jelly’ tarred road on flyovers, tram lines of 1940’s,localized personal assistants for traffic sergeants etc etc.You can bribe a traffic sergeant for 30 rupees also after violating traffic rules.If you are not a resident of Salt lake city, power cut for 2 hours a day becomes your routine. Now enter a govt.office for anything, the reply of ‘hobey na’(trans: cannot do) reciprocates .Enter the metro train here,there are chances to get suffocated as the air conditioner may remain dead.Even the footpaths at park circus, the cities 'centre' gets laid with dried dungs.

But still...Its city of joy!!! How come? asked my friend. People here are lovely.They are ready to help you unless any physical support is required.They enjoy every part of their life. Shop closes here prior to dawn & everyone takes a nap after lunch.Even shop keepers close their setups for this habituated nap.Hence they set apart time for themselves.Let it be durga pooja,lakshmi pooja,kali pooja or what ever pooja;every festival is celebrated utmost without losing a single portion of its charm here.Even being a metro city the minimum fare of bus is still Rs.5 & you can flaunt a decent hot cup of tea for Rs.3.Night life may be less over here, nevertheless the sportiveness in it will be memorable.

I pointed out at the start that the ladies here are better.Undoubtedly I am truely masculine(smiles!).May be this city being a city of happenings I too find it interesting, lovely & I am bonded with this for the last 3.5years.

Amar Kolkate,ami thomay bhalo bhashi.

Phoenix – Let me hug you!!!

Crosswords!! Yes it was like a crossword.

First sight, it was simple.

I planned to explore it anways.I may give a nomenclature of Phoenix for this crossword.It may be because a little rise of this phoenix has sparked ecstasy in me. I’ve been through lot many crosswords before, but god sake this was different & I wished to resolve it anyways.

Proceed further to resolve, I don’t know what gives the feeling of despair. I didn’t give any commitment of solving the crossword but still my phoenix didn’t rise as I've wished.Nevertheless I didn’t put myself to solve it further.

Phoenix, I loved you but in vain;

You still stay as the complicated box in paper.

And what I can do still is..

To hug that paper around me…My Phoenix –Let me hug you

Travelogue : Bliss from my Malaysia / Singapore trip

This post may give you a very clear idea on how to plan for Malaysia/Singapore trip from India on your own.Packages seems to be a projectile at start; but used to wind up as a rancor.

Read on if you wish for an independent trip to Malaysia & Singapore

‘Leh ah Yahweh’ may be the translation of “Praise the lord” in Malay language. I am grateful to the creator for showering me that financial freedom to go for a foreign trip.This was a panache of my life.Nevertheless Hyundai Motor India Ltd as an employer was the sole source for what I am today. My thanks to my parents for the support & trust shown on me for whatever decisions I took

My best – ever friend Rajiv was the main pillar to fulfill this flamboyant trip to Singapore & Malaysia

The spark started with an advertisement in Times of India newspaper after which I got an unexpected call from Rajiv to plan a trip to Malaysia.

Ticketing

Booking was done prior to 3 months of journey with a cost of Rs.5988 per person for return flight to Kuala Lumpur through internet.

Later on we found that the stay of 6 days at Malaysia is on a greater side. Hence made a plan to visit Singapore for 3 days as its quite near to Malaysia & has overnight train connectivity. Train bookings were done through internet & that site resembled that of IRCTC. Payment need to be made through credit card in Ringgits. Bank takes 3.5% (after converting to Indian currency on current value) on every transaction .

Visa Procedures

Visa proceedings for Malaysia & Singapore were taken care by Rajiv through an agent in Bangalore & it cost us Rs.3000 per person.

Hotel Booking

As we were truly unaware of these destinations we did a hotel booking also through internet. The hotel at China Town “De oriental Inn Chinatown” was impressive at a cost of RM 100 for double bed room. We had trusted upon a friend of us for stay at Singapore which ultimately went vain when we reached there. Those critical exciting moments in search of a hotel at Singapore will be explained later

To smoothen the plan I made an itinerary as follows

Itinerary

Currency Conversion

We didn’t make any currency conversion in India. However we had carried all credit & debit cards & Rs.10000 in cash. Since airport at Malaysia didn’t have any ATM it was wise to take Indian currency as it helped us to approach Money changer for Ringgits. All hotel bookings were cleared through credit cards & currencies through ATM. Transaction fee on Credit card is as explained above in ticketing. Bank will charge Rs 110+3.5% on transaction every time you withdraw cash from ATM through Indian Debit cards there

The D-Day has come !!!!

Here on will I show a pictorial explanation of the tour.The description for the snap has been be penned below it.

Air Asia flight was much better than expected.The 3.5 hour journey was really negligible.You need not book any food while booking ticket online.The inflight food was of malay taste & that tasted raw.

The 1st thing we did upon landing at KL airport to roam around all duty free shops.

The immigration procedures where quite smooth.

The tourist information center at KL airport gave us good information on how to use the public transportation system for site seeing.

We took a bus from airport to China town for lodging at "Hotel De Oriental Inn Chinatown"

Outside KL Airport enroute to Bus Bay

We started our fooding with a jumbo burger from 'Marry Brown' .Later on Marry Brown became our sole food provider !!

Hotel was inside Jalan Petaling, the busiest shopping area of KL.That saved our time in search for purchase of cool watches,pens etc.

The hotel was quite cheap for RM100 & it had appreciable amenities

After getting freshed up at Hotel we proceeded towards Bukit Bingtang the place where night life exists

Rajiv enquiring the way to Bukit Bingtang to a taxi driver

Pepper fried chicken frog was the newest thing which we have ever had

16th April'10

We started with a morning tea from a near by 'Hamid's restaurant'. Breakfast was complementary at our hotel itself eventhough that was not appreciable.Tea served in a beer glass was an awkward sight for we indians as we are used to 1 inch glasses here.

We planned for' Genting Highland' as it is worth for a whole day spend.We had to take bus from 'KL Sentral' station towards Genting.We took a monorail from 'Pasar Seni' towards 'KL Sentral'.

As KL monorail drives without a pilot its interesting to take 1st coach & imagine yourself to be a driver.

The bus from KL sentral to Genting is available at scheduled timings only. Frequency is about 3 hours. Hence it is better to book the bus tickets 1day prior .We had to take a taxi towards sentral. It was still affordable at 40RM.

The taxi dropped us at KTM Rope Way station.We took the rope way ticket & proceeded towards the globe

The rope way ride was simply mind blowing & i would rate this as the most beautiful scenic beauty i've ever enjoyed

Genting is a place of all wild rides,casinos & shopping. A ticket of 69RM will entitle you for all rides.Rides are worth & cheaper than those we have seen in Singapore

The spiderman ride where in you are screwed up to the max was the best of the best rides ive ever seen !!

After Genting we returned to our hotel & since it was a really gasping day we went to sleep at 10

17th April'10

We had kept aside this day for local tours at KL. The use of KL Hop-On/Hip-Off bus would have been better if we had gotup earlier. We took the monorail towards Malaysian tourisum centre at KLCC

The people at Malaysian tourism center were very courteous & cordial in approach. They gave us a good idea on how to utilise the day for site seeing that too taking the cheapest public transport possible.Cheapest was obviously the monorail.

We proceeded towards Petronas, the tallest twin tower in the world.The sky bridge walk was free provided you book the limited tickets earlier.Sight of such a tall steel giant was mind blowing

The country roadside buffet was quite appreciable that we had a splendid lunch for 10 RM per person.Its perplexing to see the shop keeper bill you on the quantity of food you take in the buffet !!!

After lunch we went for KL tower. The rotating restaurant at the top, is a sight to see provided you have enough bucks to shell out.Felt it to be less worth for the charges rendered.

The F-1 simulator near the KL tower was worth for X Y Z poses for a snap !!!

We had a shopping at Malaysian Convention center near to KL tower where i purchased an HTC phone for the `1st time in life. I am currently using it & doesnt know its horoscope in long run.

The KL aquarium was quite near to the convention center & thats a must see thing.You can have a wonderful 'under sea' experience in the aquaria. Apart from that there are various other fishes,reptiles etc to add on to your GK store.

After aquarium we headed towards KL Sentral (malay spell so) for our train towards Singapore.Print out of your ticket need to be used & the same will be inspected by checker in train. Immigration formalities will be done at Singapore only

The trains were almost as of Indian trains except they run at higher speeds.All where side berths with curtains. You can smoke outside. We transformed the train to a pub.Hope you know how?

Immigration procedures took place at Woodland Hills station.We had to board the train again after the immigration got over.

The final destination was "Singapura" rather Singapore in English

Love In Singapore

18th April'10

We had entrusted on a friend of us for our stay at Singapore.After reaching Singapore I made a call

1st Time : Phone went on ringing

2nd Time: Was not reachable

3rd Time:Call got diverted to voice mail box.I happily gave a msg to call be back & I have reached Singapore

4th Time : Switched off.

After this I got a good knowledge that you should not trust even your friend for a favour.Favour may be favoured if things & situation permits,thats it.

You can imagine our situation of 2 Indian lads landing at lonely Singapore Station ,that too in shorts without even a single SingaporeDollar. Me & Rajiv we sympathizing each other & we made our mind to makeup the situation.We had debit cards only & went in search of ATMs first.

Rajiv gave a good pose even though he had to scroll that heavy bag & walk in search of ATM

Sight of 2 tamilians near the ATM were apple in our eyes & they guided us to a place 'Little India' for cheap & economical hotels.We took Singapore MRT(monorail train) towards 'Little India'.Both Singapore & Malaysia had approx 50% Tamil residents of which some are expatriates from India & from SriLanka. These people knew all the "jhugads" & were very much interested to help us always.

We prayed at a Chinese temple enroute & proceeded towards MRT.Still we were totally ignorant on 'Little India'

I still bow in front of a person named Mr.Nathan whom we met in train.He as personshowed us what affection & love as a social being is,by giving us all courage to find a place in Singapore.His words with a south tamil accent"enjoy pannunga" ( means to enjoy to utmost) still lies as a music in my ears.

Under his guidance we got down at 'Little India' station & proceeded towards a hotel shown by him.It was heart touching when Mr.Nathan offered us tender coconuts to quench our thirst & tiredness as a courtesy offered to fellow human beings. That unconditional love is less with words to explain

With Mr.Nathan near our hotel at Singapore

I think courtesy is ever counted as there were posters requesting that in MRT too.

We proceed towards Singapore information centre to get plan our site seeing in Singapore.We also utilised free internet & leg massage there

The rest of that day till night we enjoyed whatever possible at Singapore.Singapore is a business city & not an appreciable tourist destination.

The banks of Jurong lakes had beautiful buildings,monuments for us to pose & take snap.We enjoyed the sight of everything;I mean 'everything' in sight!!

At night we had to take shuttle bus service from Singapore visitors centre towards Singapore Night Safari park.Punctuality of bus timings were commentable as it turned up exactly at prescribed 7.12PM at Bay.It took 45 min for us to reach Singapore night safari park

The 1 hour tram ride is wonderful at Singapore night safari park.We were taken in a tram into the forest .

The ditch created with water is the only protection from animals & thats awsome to see lions & tigers cageless a few meters ahead.

There are a lot of interesting things including samba dance,animal shows etc apart from the ride

Returning from the safari we got down at 'Mustafa centre' in 'Little India'.Mustafa used to be haven for Indain shoppers as it resembled Big Bazaars in India.I didnt find that much cheap except for fresh fruits & water

Way back from Mustafa the sight of sex shop rose anxiety in both of us. Being bachelors we didnt find any fault in exploring that shop.Rather I had to praise the govt.of Singapore for offering such a sexual freedom for people there.

This was a first sex shop i've ever seen.Had a good collection of ticklers,posters,playing cards which endorses nudity & of course hard core porn videos.I could have hide this snap.

If Singapore govt who prohibits prostitution can have these shops in prominent shopping locations, why cant i post this?

19th April'10

As suggested by the staff at the tourist information center we kept aside this day for 'Sentosa'. took a train to 'Harbour Point' from 'Little India'

Sentosa was a hub of adventure,beauty,shopping,casino & a lot. Each area was demarcated & we had to board the train to move from one to another.You need to have good dollars to shell out here as many major rides,,parks,shows commands separate tickets

The res-taus near Universal Studios were classic with their hoardings & dishes. There was an exclusive pop corn shop there with varities of flavoured pop corn.We had pop corns cheesed with authentic New Zealand cheese. Those were must have ones.

Universal studio hosted a variety of rides,movie studios etc.Entry was little costlier when compared to India studios.However it would have been worthier if we had reached there early morning.

We went to the 'Silosa Beach' at Sentosa by evening. Had a chill at the beer parlour there & gazed at the sea blues.Silosa featured good sea side restaurants & sea foods. 'Songs of Sea' was a must see musical extravaganza

The day was too hectic & since we had our flight to Malaysia next day morning we had to pack up much earlier.I would realy appreciate the help rendered by the Indians at the nearby restaurant to our hotel in arranging a taxi next day 4.30AM

20th April'10

We took a cab from 'Little India" to 'Changi Airport' in the morning. I was proud enough to sit inside the Hyundai,SonataEmbera Diesel-Automatic 'taxi' there as a paradigm to the so called 'luxurious' model in India.

Changi Airport was less crowded & was easy for us to check in.Do remember to keep the departure card given during immigration safe as you need to produce the same at emigration counter too.

We landed at Kuala Lumpur LCCT terminal by9.00AM. Proceeded towards our old hotel at China town to keep our luggage.Even if we had planned this day for 'Sun Bay' at Malaysia couldnt make it up as it was a rainy day.So kept our luggages at Luggage room for RM2 per bag & moved for shopping

'Majid India' hosted quite cheap shopping facilities at Malaysia.'Haniffa Centre' there resembled 'Big bazaar' and was a good pick for shopping

The 'Haniffa Centre' had a good Indian touch with 80% Indian workers.Aamir's Titan hoarding outside gave an Indian soothing in looks

It took us around 4 hours to explore the centre in totality.Rest of the time was spent in an authentic thai massage,window shopping & chic gazing;-)

21st April'10

We moved towards KL Sentral for our shuttle bus to KL Airport by 2.00AM. Emigration procedures to India were over by 6.30AM & boarded the Air Asia aircraft at 7.45PM

Rajiv still had something left to purchase from 'Duty-Free' shops at KL airport.Eventhough he is a person who absconds from pubs,he had to succumb to his friends requests.

It was too embarrassing to see at a later stage that these things cost cheap at Trivandrum 'Duty-Free'shops

Even after returning back to India I couldnt accept

the fact that I've materialized such a trip.I am thankful to the creator for showering me with all the bests.

It took good efforts for me to convert the entire trip to text.

Hoping your prayers for many more blessings -

Signing off-

Your's
