Comments from an Indian traveller...

I recently met an Indian doctor who had traveled to Europe… He had to shorten his stay in Paris and Dublin because it was to unbearable!! His most traumatizing experience? A woman skeeping the queue!! (Kind of ironic coming from an Indian…) Like everyone, he told me that “French people are horrible because they know English and they refuse to speak”. I...

Mmmhhh, how tasty…

We talk about the casts a lot but we don’t know much about it. This is how I discovered this charming community of shit pickers with bare hands: the manual scavengers of Vidisha - 15.12.2010.pdf . Their job: go to people’s places, manually scavenge and bring the pot outside the house, with the shit sometimes dripping. This has been banned by the law but it is still...

Flying in India - Part 2

I was talking about flying in India… And now I am going to talk about the lack of discipline of Indian flyers. (I have not yet mentioned all the throat and digestive noises that you hear nor the sweat smells that you cant’ escape but I won’t). No, I would like to talk about the landing only. In India, as soon as the wheels have touched the track, everyone is up – the staff...

India outside India - Part 2

And then, Nepal!! The first day, in Kathmandu, under heavy rain, I felt like in India. And then, I realised people were quite different. The Indian doctor accompanying it understood different as “backward” (seriously!). But I meant it like more “relaxed”, more comfortable with tourists. Well that is just how I felt after 4 days! Anyways, the reserve we...

India outside India - Part 1

Not many posts this month: I was travelling!! Two countries, the antipodes of each other but with a common points: the population (of the Indian subcontinent). Yes, you know me by now… So first, Dubai, with its Indian workers: 1.9 millions people in 2011 and 30% of Indians (about 570,000 Indians) and 60% of people from the subcontinent (including Bangladeshis and...

Are towers safe?

Building towers is nice… But is it really a good idea?? I was looking for data about earthquake risks in Mumbai and see what I found: “India ranks second in the world as most exposed country to natural catastrophes; every year, only the seasonal floods affect millions of people. This country is also strongly the place of earthquakes.” Like if they needed this… “In India,...

India is getting higher...

India is about to build the second higher residential tower… ( http://www.newsofap.com/newsofap-17499-25-world-one-worlds-tallest-residential-building-in-mumbai-newsofap.html ) A French newspaper said that “with One World, Lodha is going to give to Mumbai the icon she deserves so much. One World will be the luxurious showcase of an India growing by 8.4% in 2011.” A Tower, symbol...

Ordeal number X: putting up a painting

(Sweet revenge on my landlady who keeps bugging me) 1. Take a nail, a hammer and make a start on the wall. Oups, the wall is in concrete, I just made an ugly little splinter. 2. Ok, I’m gonna find someone to do it for me. But how?? Where?? 3. Oh, how convenient, downstairs there is a guy who makes frames. He must know… Yay ! His neighbor key maker...

Correspondence with my landlady - End of the story (at least I hope !)

Suite of my last post... I answered my landlady: “Do you mean you need to take stuff in the room or actually sleep in the room? Honestly, I would not be too comfortable with the second option...” I was very worried though and she was not answering. What if she would just come and stay? Imagine me explaining the cops that she is my...
