personal and travels
Namashtè. Now meet Paul the driver. He was a good driver, and patient too, for a tourist like me. He was ‘educating’ me about what he knew of India and the landmarks that were seeing. I appreciated it. there is nothing better than learning it from the local people. Of course we communicated by English language.
Frontier trivia the day:

Now this is Mumbai the beautiful and nice from the distance. Just one pack of the emerging establishments.
Frontier trivia the day:
India’s nuclear weapons testing in 1998 caused Pakistan to conduct its own tests that same year.
A scene in one of our tour stops in Mumbai. Actually we would see it almost everywhere where it is allowed or accessible. Just some people enjoying their peace behind the busy Mumbai.
Frontier trivia the day:
it is projected that by 2010, India’s population would be 1,175 millions for all ages.
This is the lovely hotel lounge on the ground floor. I like its design and the elevated area. It was pretty nice. I had been used a bit being inside that I didn’t notice the smell of the overall atmosphere. I had just been down here for a few times, and sometimes to the hotel shop on the opposite direction but I didn’t buy anything other than postcards and stationeries that I still have until now. They were my precious remembrance.
Frontier trivia the day:
the total population sex ratio of Indian population is 1.064 males for every female, in 2006 estimate.
Meet Munjit, the driver. Opps, we can’t see him here. But you notice that indeed the vehicles in India are right-hand drive. Munjit was the company driver when I was there. He wears a white turban around his head. He was picking me up to hubby’s workplace for a visit and tour. Mumbai is very large and it would take us an average of an hour to get through our destination pass through the endless traffic and blowing of horns.
Frontier trivia the day:
India gained its independence in 15 August 1947 through the nonviolent resistance to British colonialism led by Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru.
The flat, rather lifeless shot of the buildings being built in Mumbai, which to my observation is blooming with many new high-rise constructions. This was on a trip with Munjit the driver. Well, India is pacing after China and I can clearly see their progress to industrialization.
Frontier trivia the day:
there are 22 official languages in India from its total of 1,652 languages including dialects.
The blurry and grayish shot like the weather of the beach below the hotel through the window. This was just a fraction of the people that would eventually pack the beach’s brown sand enjoying life, and me enjoying watching them when I had nothing else to do. After all, I was there on vacation, and as a tourist to learn about them.
