Monsoon is Here...


Day before yesterday night we experienced first monsoon rain in Chennai. Generally in Chennai it is return monsoon that quench the thirst. But as per predictions from Indian Meteorological Department it rained. At night suddenly I woke up at 1.30 AM due to loud lightening followed by heavy rain. Lightening was so loud that I felt as if I am in the middle of bombing in any war. I literally experienced advancing monsoon towards North India. It will be reaching to my motherland in next few days where many are waiting impatiently. In India everyone farmers, people, even government is waiting for monsoon. Our economy still depends on it.

Anyway it will save us from harsh and merciless hot weather of Chennai for next some days. Monsoon pours new hope in life here. And what’s the life without hope.

Exploring Paris

This was my second weekend in Paris. Now, I am settled in Paris, I know the routes, I know how to search routes for any location. I am ok with food and weather. Language is not problem.

Public Transpotation in Paris

Paris is famous for its museum, for Eiffel tower, as a city of romance but also it is famous for its best ever public transport service. City is divided in various zones. There are four ways of transportation, bus, metro, tram and RER (it is a railway). But the best part is they are well connected with each other. For regular travelers it is possible to buy just one Navigo card. It is the pass or card, by using which it is possible to travel by any of the above means in any zone of the city. So good thing is, it is literally possible to travel at any part of the city without carrying a single cent for complete one month.  Based on zones and the tracks of metro, tram etc. city maps are available. These maps are elaborate and self-explanatory. Once understood how to read, then it is possible to roam at any part of city without opening mouth. Tram or metro are running at every 3 to 5 minutes. So waiting is minimal. Inside the metro, or tram or RER, all stations on that root ...

Got my hour back

Today its Sunday, it is last Sunday of March. This means it is time to restore our clocks to its original time. Remember ? in October last Sunday we moved our clocks behind by one hour. Today again clocks are moved forward by one hour. Now difference between Paris time and Indian time is again 3.30 hours. Technically speaking on relative time scale I regained my lost hour today. Its all funny. But it is good for me. Because now when I call to my family after office time, they will not be sleepy at night. Just wanted to mention this :)
