India...What is the most common thing that comes to your mind when it comes to India? To me, it will be the people, lots and lots of people...It was an eye-opening trip to India a few weeks back. I was there for about 1 week for a workshop. It is not as bad as I had imagined but some things are just unexpected like the driving culture. Cars without side mirrors are a norm. Even those with side mirrors never bother to flip it open. Reason? Easier to "squeez" through the heavy, heavy traffic. It takes a lot of courage and aggresiveness to drive in India. No joke...
Tasted a lot of different India food, some are delicious but some are a bit weird. Thanks to one of my colleague there, we were able to have a few last hours of pure Indian culture on the day we left for KL. Imagine, riding a tiny trishaw with two adult guys. Yes, it was an experience but pity the guy who pulled the trishaw. Must have been hard for him...
Bargaining is a must if you are to shop here. Prices can be lowered up till 80% but no guarantee the product is genuine or not.It was quite a disappointment that I did not get any Punjabi suits.
It was really a great experience. We went to a few historical monuments around town, the parliament house, the India gate, Qutab Minar...So, if given a chance, i will go back there again and that time around I will not miss Taj Mahal, definitely...
