Flew Emirates

and sorry to say , but the airlines is not a shadow of what One would hav expected seeing there ad's

Ok food

untrained staff

staff mostly, grumpy and unsmiling

lack of service on all front

quiet frugal

No- the grandiur of the Muslims was missing,

so was the bigheartedness of muslims missing.

just a cheap airlines with glitzy Ad's

Overall, boring

landed running

since Me got here , 3 hrs after landinng was Looking for appartments ,

been at it for 3 days now, and Boy is it tough ,

the speed of info transfer , n how fast houses changes hands is amazing ,

but yes technology is a boon and a big bng game changer.

bye bye India for a few months

was a wonderfull few days , at jsr, n then its time to the next phase of life as I head out to USA to study again after 11 yrs :) re-skilling is he name of the game , lots of loose ends , lots of changes , the list could well add up :)

My experiance with a-one transporters

How can it be so easy to lie ,
to lie in the name of ones god
to lie to everyone xconserned
to lie on name of all concerned

how low can one sink?

karma is at work, everytime you lie it is adding up, n u will pay for a major part of it in this life itself, in the form of Diseases, relationships , what life hands out to you ,

Dont use the WHY ME , line, you acted it and now u are getting the fruits.

Most chat seems to be about

What could have been, what chances were missed, what mistakes were made?
(Things on the past that one can do nothing about)
Or

What will happen, scary things that might happen, problems that might happen?
Difficulties that may arise.
(Scared of future)

What about the present I ask?
Better to be quiet and meditate, me thinks ;)
