Few months back I went to see the renovation of the India Gate. I always like to watch this monument whenever I pass with the car and sometimes I go there just to walk around.
Yesterday I truly understood the madness about cricket in India. I mean, it was total craziness. People do love cricket so much that all the streets were empty. I love empty streets, so I thank the cricket for this miracle ha ha. Only few women, girls and children were out there, but really most of the people were watching the game. Well it was India vs Pakistan, so it was a very sensitive kind of match for all Indians and Pakistanis.
I was never really interested in cricket, I mean first of all I didn’t know how the game was played or the rules, nothing at all. For me it was like “how they can sit so many hours watching one match?”. But this time it was different, there was a World Cup going on, and India was winning! So I started asking all about cricket and somehow now I know how the things work haha. Read More…
What do you think about this ad? Because what better way to go inside your opponent’s economy than to know his language, right?
Most Indians are already multilingual. They know at least two Indian regional languages. And nowadays, more and more Indians learn foreign languages like English, German, French, etc. Read More…
Today I want to write about the New Zealand trip but I don’t want to actually type so I’m using the Microsoft Windows speech recognition software. But since the last 30 minutes I have been able to finish only two lines.
But I’m determined to write using the speech recognition software, so let’s talk about the trip. Our journey to New Zealand was really boring as we had to sit for almost 11 hours in the airplane so we got tired and bored of watching the same movies and the listening to the same music. The food which was served on board was really really bad. I don’t think anybody liked it. But still we were hungry so we had to eat. The whole night it was thundering in the sky and we saw the lightnings from the window the whole night.
At 2:00 in the night I fell asleep and so my husband. Next morning when I woke up I saw the rising sun from my window and it was beautiful. At 10:00 a.m. we landed at the Auckland Airport. As soon as we came out from the airplane we started noticing the self declaration boards everywhere. At first we did not pay much attention, but later on when we saw that it was all over the airport we really had to think about it. So we checked if we had any fruit, vegetable or any eatable thing inside our handbag. One Sardar Ji who was ahead of us didn’t declare in his form and the official found out that he was carrying an apple in his handbag. As he didn’t declare the same, they charged $500 NZD as a penalty for him and I think he will not eat an apple for the next 5 years coz $500 NZD x Rs.34 = is somewhere around Rs. 17,000/- in Indian currency. I guess he was done with his apple at the New Zealand airport. Poor of him.
The weather of New Zealand was extremely good and it was very pleasant for us, it was like beating the heat of Delhi. We stayed in the main square of Auckland as our hotel was on the main avenue in the heart of Auckland from where we could see the whole city. The rooms were quite nice and clean as compared to some Indian Hotels. We stayed in a 3 star category hotel so it was good enough to spend some nights at that place. Read More…
