Bye For Now Paris


Actually I returned from Paris ten days ago. I wanted to write this post just after returning but couldn't find time. Life is too busy now a days.

In last two months I visited many places in Paris, seen many new things, meet new people from France and outside France. I got chance to see a different culture, different place on this earth, a different lifestyle, different and very fascinating nature and weather. I am very glad that I got this opportunity. I observed people in Paris, their behavior in society, their respect and faith in law and system. I saw their patience while working, while in traffic or while in public transport. This is something I think all Indians need to learn urgently.

Whenever I was outside in Paris, in my mind, at background, a continuous comparison was running between Indian way of doing things and French way. I was thinking how to bring or do the same things in India, but after two months and coming back, I feel that we have to solve our problems on our own way.  Our own ways needs to be found, which will fit in our system. Truly speaking there should not be any comparison between two countries, with so much difference in everything. But, it is hard to explain it to mind. However, the things like values, principles, and good qualities are irrespective of all the differences between France and India. It can be learned and implemented anytime, every-time.

I am thankful for the opportunity to see these, good qualities in practice. After coming to India, I will certainly miss the smiling faces that I saw while traveling, at work, at shop, on road, almost everywhere. I will miss the great nature, weather, cold breeze, maple trees, my favorite metro train, sweet chat in French, Eiffel tower, Seine river, great old architectures. I will also miss simple but smart life. But at the same time I am happy that I am here in India, with my family, whom I missed so much in last two months.

I think that I will visit Paris soon, till that time bye bye Paris...

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...

Reaching Stockholm

Wow  this year I am already starting for another country after Perth. In Europe after three years...to Stockholm Sweden. I hope everything will be great at work and other. Good news is I don't have to start from Mumbai. I can take flight to Stockholm from Pune via Delhi. I recently heard that Pune airport stands at 9th rank in service. Well I like the service. People/staff was helpful. All sign boards were at place. Good job Pune. Delhi airport I must say is great. It is neat and clean. It is huge. It looks like airport of India's capital.  I have seen some airports in the world and in India and I can say this is one of the best airports. Our flight took path over Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Estonia and so on. We always hear about Afghanistan many news. While I was in school I learnt about Afghanistan how it has difficult terrain with just mountains. I was able to witness it this time. For many hundreds of kilometers I was just able to see dry Rocky ...

Weekend at Pondicherry

Few days ago I went to Pondicherry or Puducherry with family. It was French colony before Independence. Pondicherry is at about 160 kms from Chennai. It is favorite trip destination for various reasons. There are some beautiful beaches, rocky beaches. You can buy any brand of bear, whiskey, vodka etc. at cheaper rates. In Chennai you won't get all brands as it's restricted by state government. So many people go for enjoying hard drinks. Pondicherry still have French flavor in its life. The old buildings have French architectural touch. Policeman caps resembles that with French police. Even some Church resemble with saint Notre Dame at Paris. I stayed at Green Palace hotel. It was really great place to stay. They have studied French hotels very well. I received all the services that I use to get in Paris. Resemblance is astonishing. At approximately 2kms from hotel there is a very good Rock beach. The place is great. There is a road parallel to the beach where you can ta...
