India Post
Saw a sign board with an arrow which said "India Post Complex".
Its true that Indian Postal System is complex as it has over 150K offices.
I remember that in my grandfather's village due to the tradition of my community many households had the eldest male named as Mangesh. Nadkarni was a common last name. A telegram was received at the post office addressed to Mangesh Nadkarni informing the birth of a granddaughter. I understand the postman went to every household he knew with that name and found the right household (co incidently my grandfather's) almost at the end of the day!

Never understood the logic in this Indian Insurance advertisement where the main character who is very young man considers himself a pensioner because he has taken an insurance policy with the benefits of a pension after retirement and then like a highly experienced chess player without taking the permission of the players and not even looking at a chess board moves one piece on the board to do check + mate.

New Year Beholds
Women were not allowed entry to a inner santum of Shani temple in Singnapur Maharashtra for 400 years. Today the tradition was broken, women were allowed to pray there. Its a great victory for women in India. I am very happy to know this and wonder why it took so long to break such a tradition.

Mumbai trains
In comparison my experience in Mumbai locals was a homely environment. People discussing issues of national importance like cricket and would be annoyed with you if you did not know the score of the match being played. People playing cards, singing devotional songs in groups and then distributing "Prasad" subsequently after a "Pooja". Once a person told me that my lips were very red in colour.
During my recent visit I found a change - everybody engaged with their cell phones. I rembered my journeys in the trains in Japan.
