A blog about life, Hindi music, films, humour, books, people, places, events, travel, and occasionally, marketing management or leadership. Mostly apolitical, because that is a personal matter that each of us should decide on, and because I don't want to lose readers!

Weird Places- contd.
Chateau D' If, off Marseilles in France. Setting where The Count of Monte Cristo is based. Had an Indian style toilet on the island.
Greece- the whole country behaves like India does. Including the economy getting into trouble. We were already there in 1991. Only, the Mediterranean/Aegean waters are bluer. And Hindi is not Greek to me. They even have Gods who behave like ours. And have written epics about them.
Nandi Hills near Bangalore- apparently the only reason people go there is to drink beer. I guess people are weird, not the place.
Airports with aerobridges lying idle- as you can guess, I am sitting at one. Gotta go, or I'll miss the bus.
