O-Bly-Meeeee

Sigh. Just got news today from boss that I am supposed to fly to India in April for 3 events. What? Again? I've just been to Bollywood last Dec and now I not only have to go back there again, I'll have to travel to Bangalore and Mumbai as well. Urgh..someone pls kill me.

Going to New Delhi certainly brings back bad memory for me. In fact the last trip there was the most horrifying and stressful experience I have ever encountered. Not only I had to tolerate unreasonable demands from a bitchy client, I had to also deal with crafty banquet people from the Hotel I stayed. Oh yes, it was also the only trip so far in my life that I did not get to do any sight-seeings or serious shopping. Taj Mahal is so near, but yet so far away, it is one of the eight wonders in this world ok? What a waste...

Some interesting facts to share - Cow is sacred in India. They are not penned into the fields, for harvesting, for ploughing or what nod. In smaller towns and villagers, they wander wherever they want, like royalties. If they are on the roads and block the way, the drivers will swerve into the field to avoid crashing on them. Even if they road-hog, drivers will wait patiently behind them and not sound a single honk. The most fascinating thing I've heard was that most of the Indians there have the thought of coming back as a cow in their next life. Now, there's a thought...no wonder there are so many Indian vegetarians..



Ok lor, to ensure things go right this time, I shall sacrifice and abstain from taking beef now till I'm back from the trip. Bye bye cheese burgers, bye bye beef noodles...as long as my events went on smoothly in the 3 cities, being beef-free for a month and a half is all worth it. Oh! Holy Cow!!
