what causes jams in delhi

sometimes i stop to think what causes jams in delhi on some days much more than the other days. One of these days while coming back from office , i got a massive jam on NH8... i assumed there must be some diversion or accident. But after crossing the airport, i realised there was none.. i could not figure out the reason for the jam.. .

When one flyover is complete, we are happy cause we wont get a jam.. but surprisingly after the naraina flyover opened, there was a jam yesterday again at dhaula kuan.. Why?

because they were constructing something there.. a road.. so when we feel we are free of a jam, some other construction starts leading to another roadblock/.. wil it ever end

Trip to Goa

Its a chilled out holiday destination. Still has the small place feel and lush greenery around it. It is state with a population of around 17 lakh only. Most of the land area is under forest cover and small narrow roads passing through it. Houses are built on the sides of the narrow roads and beautifully pained in bright pastel colors. Around 60% Hindus and 35% christians inhabit the place.

The place is one of the oldest churches in the country. St Francis Xaviers church has a more than 400 year old body preserved in the form of a mummy and it is taken out every year. The place has beaches- both sandy and rocky, Anjuna being the rocky treacherous beach and Calangute, Bagha, Miramar and Colva being the sandy ones. The sandy beaches have water sports like parasailing, motor boats, etc. There are shacks on the beaches with very cheap liquor and seafood. The water cruise has a lovely sunset tour where they present Goan dance and music.

A nice place for a sunny beach vacation

Marriages again

I just had a very hassled colleague come up to me and tell me" Anupama do not go for a marriage where you have a joint family" Stay with the husband only..Families are a hassle.

She was worried about the comments about dowry from her mother in law. The family rarely gave enough time to her to spend with her husband. ... hmm i thought.. the way women look so unhappy after marriage and always cribbing.. i wonder if my excitement or to be more realistic eagerness to get over with marriage is right?'

Saas bahu and marriage ...on the idiot box

Saas bahu and all have become such an integral part of my daily life in Delhi. Get back home, wind up the kitchen swallow my dinner and lock eyes with the idiot box lest I miss the saas bahu ....
Noticing the storylines of these indian soaps one day, I realized that all of them revolved around the same theme.. Indian marraiges gone wrong. . , and the number of lives affected as a result of that.. The one on Zee Tv, "chhoti bahu" talks about a guy in love with an adopted daughter of a poor family and who got married, by mistake, to the rebellious step sister of the girl. The guy cannot forget his love and the adopted daugther is a symbol of sacrifie and silent love.. phewwww. The second one talks about child marraige. The third one again talks about a struggling family whose daughter marries a blind man. The blind man breaks the marraige when he realises that the girl had a pre marital crush.. OMG!!! And then the daughter is pregnant and has nothing to eat at home ...phewwwww. Pavitra rishta on Zee tv again talks about a poorly educated girl married to a poorly educated guy and then the rishta seems to not get so pavitra and again she comes back to her mother's home... Agle janam mohe bitiya on Zee has a bihar rural setup and a thakur wanting a grandson but bahu cant give.. so he buys a low caste girl and son falls in love and so and so ,,,, and sacrifice and all

And the final fiasco is "Ichchhha" on colors..where a servants daugher falls in love with a rich man's son. But the thakur's daughter is jealous of the servants daughter so she creates ...phewwww

Is this the reality of marriage ??? Or are these exaggerations ... I wonder .. Time will tell

Food craving in winters

I am writing this post after a long long gap... work and other things led me away from writing for a long time ( included work, a lot of travel and winter hibernation of course!!). However, am back with some food for thought during winters. Just enjoyed some pakodas and kachodis with hot masala chai. My food intake during this season definitely increases... I think the body needs more calories to fight the cold... :))
