What better time than now...

It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime. What better place than here ? what better time than now ? - Zach de la Rocha All my life I have stayed in India and never had an urge to go abroad. One reason is because India itself is so diverse and beautiful and there is so much to see and explore that not even one life is enough. Also, through all my biking trips and travels I have found endless peace and excitement that I never had to look anywhere else. For the first time I moved out from India to Amsterdam, The Dutch capital. A country lying below sea level and mostly has flat terrain. It has a long history of social tolerance and generally regarded as a liberal country having legalized abortion,prostitution and euthanasia. I remember some of my colleagues in Bosch who visited Europe and never stopped babbling their experiences. Nobody honks and people follow traffic rules and if you are a pedestrian or a cyclist you will actually be respected more on roads. No one wou

My first love in the Netherlands ....

From centuries old windmills, tulip fields, fishing villages, unique country side, enchanting canals and amazing nightlife, Netherlands is famous for countless things.

How driving made me a better person !!

Driving in India is one hell of a task.  No rules, no safety, thousands of vehicles of all sorts on the road, animals of all sorts on the road, people honking for no apparent reason, motorcyclists accommodating themselves even in the tiniest of space left between 2 cars or buses,  no priority based driving, no lane discipline, no place for cyclists, pedestrians, even footpaths are not left empty instead motorcyclists manages to ride even on footpaths. Government is trying now and then all sorts of ideas to implement to make it better but no we don’t like that, we will find some work around to make sure that nothing should change and we should always be as messed up as we are. List of problems is endless and if you could survive driving in India , you can survive anywhere else on planet earth.
