1000 Places to See......India

In discovery HD, there is program 1000 Places to see before you Die. I watched the India Episode. In the program a young married couple(Chris and Malin) travels all the place and they express the beauty and uniqueness of the place.

In this episode they travel to New Delhi, Capitol of India. They started their Journey in auto-rickshaw (a three wheel automobile)
Chris asks "why people are using Horns", the guide says to drive in India, three things are necessary "Good Horn, Good Brake and Good Luck".

The guide take them to "Chandini-Chowk" a shopping area. Malin the girl go out with a shorts and a T-shirt. After a while she realizes people are starring at her. Then she learns people in India specifically females don't show their bare leg. I don't know why but that is the true. But the guide with her was very smart, she took her to the near by shop and buy her a "Sudithar" a typical Indian outfit for girls. Chris feels happy because the Malin outfit cost him only $10. They keep walking into the street, Chris ask to the guide "what's up with this wires crossing above their head". It is nothing but power line with 240 Volts. it was the funniest moment, as soon as he knows all of them is electric power lines he goes "Its crazy, I don't believe it and he runs away from that place".

In the rest of the episode they go to "Taj Mahal" and all other places in Delhi. Episode finishes with "India is organized chaos but life moves on fast here".

Dont ask questions if u r not prepared for the answer !!!

Why Lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren't prepared
for the answer..... (But this story applicable to all)

In a trial, a small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to
the stand. The witness was grand motherly, elderly woman.
He approached her and asked, "Mrs.Jones, do you know me?" She responded,
"Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young
boy and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat
on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk
about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't
the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit
paper pusher. Yes, I know you"

The Lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the
room and asked, "Mrs. Jones. Do you know the defence attorney?" She again
replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster,
too. He's lazy, bigoted and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a
normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in
the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different
women, one of them was your wife. Yes, I know him."

The defense attorney almost died.
The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench, and in a very Quiet
voice, said, "If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, I'll throw
you in jail for contempt

My State in India....Tamil Nadu



It is a beautiful state in southern tip of India. I born in the city called "Madurai". it is very religious and very orthodox city with lot of Hindu temples.

It is one of the colorful state in India. The first thing comes into my mind is girls with dark color long hair with a jasmine flower in it and most of them.....nope...all of them are skinny and beautiful.


The second thing is food. I can't explain the taste of the food here, but I can tell you those are the most tastiest food. My city is famous for a food item called "Parrotta". You don't need to go to a five star restaurant to taste this, you can get in a ordinary restaurant and taste depends on the chef's special ingredient .(Check out the picture)

Recently I happened to see "Cotton candy" ice cream flavor in Cold stone. That inspired me to post this picture here.

Hindu religion is such a way that, every month some festival comes up. So all the temples are always decorated and busy.

The picture your seeing here is not like wal-mart, it is a street-mart, there is no lowest price here, you can always bargain and get a good deal. If you think sometimes bargaining makes you feel better and gives you more shopping satisfaction.





Deadliest Job in the World

Crab Fishing in the Winter in Alaskan sea.
The main catch here is as usual money






Approximately 90-cents/pounds of crab, a crew man can earn $50,000 in 2 months period. But it is very dangerous and very physical work.
Fill the crab pot with bait and put into the sea for 20 hrs come back and grab it. What a crappy job....huh....
The safety rules are very simple. Don't get got into the pot hook ropes. If you get into it, if someone noticed you, you are safe otherwise, it is very hard to get your body.
Crew man has to work all day and night in snow and cold and in high wind speed. They will be tired very soon and no time to concentrate on safety later the day.

A good season is -------no one injured
A great season is-------no one injured+good money

I wouldn't mind to spend my vacation as green horn in the deck. (FYI. I don't eat this crab)
