Paris Again








Well, I am writing after long time. Lot has happened in between. I was quite busy in work. I was busy in building and setting my team. I was busy in preparing my travel documents. I travelled to Paris again. Again for two months. So I hope to write posts on my trip here.

I was in Paris three months before. When I was in India, there were few attacks in Paris and France. So how is Paris after that? Have things changed in between? I am not sure. At first look everything appears same as before. But, now I see a Police van outside the famous news channel. A heavily equipped police guard is standing 24 / 7 outside news agencies door near my hotel. But, people of Paris appears same to me. Same smiling, cooperating people to each other. I hear same Bonjour, Merci, Pardon sound whenever I am travelling or at office, or shop, or hotel. Even though I feel little more concerned now while visiting places. May be its unnecessary fear, but its there.

Weather here is changing everyday. Sometime its cloudy and it becomes sunny one hour after. Its unpredictable. Now, day is getting longer. It is bright even at 7.30PM. Daytime will increase even more in coming two months. Though day is longer, still its cold. I came from Chennai. When I was in Chennai, temperature there was 35 deg C. It was very hot. So it is taking some time for me to adjust these huge change in temperature. Same thing is going to happen when I will return.

I hope to find some time to share my experience on this blog. :)

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 ...

Three things I Like About Chennai

I am living in Chennai for about six months now and I was thinking what are the good thing I like about Chennai. Few things quickly popped in my mind. I am mentioning them here.  I. People are sincere about their work I will call Chennaikars to people of Chennai, who are living in Chennai irrespective of their age, gender, native place, language etc. I feel Chennaikars are much sincere about their work. It doesn’t matter what work they do. May it be engineers, doctors, any other workers. It can be observed easily when we go to any shop, tea stall, hotel etc. Just to give example, I happened to go to two different doctors few months back.  At the first doctor's place we paid consultation fees, after consultation doctor found that there is nothing wrong. So he asked reception to return money. This was new experience to me. At other time, at other doctor’s place, when doctor found patient is not cured by his medicine, he gave free consultation and medicines next t...

Karla Caves

Last Saturday and weekend, we decided to go for a short trip near Pune towards Mumbai at Lonavala (60KM). On the way of Lonavala there is a small tourist attraction. Karla caves. Compare to Ajanta Ellora it is very small. However, the carvings, sculptures never stops to amaze me.  If you start from Pune, then it is 6KM before reaching Lonavala. It takes 15 - 20 minutes trek and you would reach the mountain top to find Karla caves in front of you. It is protected by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India). Number of caves is small probably less than 10 but still they are amazing. If you happen to travel in rainy season, natural waterfalls are active and they are falling in front of caves. Caves mainly can be divided in two parts. One part is temple and other parts are rooms for devotees.  You should certainly plan the visit. It will give you mesmerizing experience and some great memories.  Here are some glimpse of beauty...I am sure you will visit there.
