rakeshkdahiya, 19/04/202505/05/2025

I had written sometime earlier about impatient Indians (and those keen to broaden their horizons can read about it here, or for that matter here again). I’m no different. For example, I hate waiting for … Off to a Concert But my impatience really peaks when fun things that I…

Air India Chaos and Comedy – A Hilarious Tale about Flying Home

rakeshkdahiya, 04/04/202505/05/2025

Patience, some wise man (who evidently never came across Indians) has said, is a virtue. My son had recently travelled from London to Delhi (and onwards to Hyderabad) and his narration about the journey rang a bell. (Mainly because I had written about this peculiarity of us Indians earlier and…

NDA Cadet’s Life and the Art of Sleeping Anywhere — Even While Standing

And while I, with my limited acquaintance with his work,  often feel that he just strings some highfalutin words that sound impressive but mean nothing, I can’t argue with him on this one.
