Life rules and sucks in turns. It has been a roller coaster ride with moments, rather days of excitement, followed by periodic bouts of exhaustion and dejection. Monday through Wednesday was fun and then reality hit hard that the deadlines aren't far off. Which in turn means long working hours, tempers flaring blah blah blah....

Anyways so we had this gentleman from, lets say X place, visiting our workplace for a week. This was his first visit to India. It is interesting (and probably funny too in some circumstances) to observe how people react on their first visits. As most people, he was amazed to see how different transportation modes share the same road in Delhi - Agra, without getting in the way of each other. Some of them being buses, trucks, vans, motor bikes, bicycles, autorickshaws, carts pulled by horses or cows, pedestrians and finally cows and buffaloes themselves. He described his experiences at various places - some interesting, some amusing, some thought provoking. But it was good to listen to how an outsider perceives and how much of a culture change he/she experiences. He shared the pictures of autos, bus stops and some nice places too with his team back home. What was however annoying was to see some of the comments from his team, on the dark side of India such as our poor infrastructure and they were definitely not in good taste. So much for hospitality!
