Twin sharing in KIMS

Have you ever known how it will feel like to twin share a room with rural indian couple. You may wonder how I labelled them rural couple. First the don't have mobile phone. Its very rare even in india. Second this guy roams in the room and in the corridors half naked without a shirt. Apparently showing off his dark hairy body.

The reason I came here for small surgery of my wife. And there wasn't a single private room except a executive room which cost abt USD 100.00. So I went for the twin sharing room. Considering it would be 1-2 days max.

So the day goes by slowly, we were asked to see the anaesthetist , so I took my backpack ( where all my stuffs are) leaving behind the magazine I was reading. When we came he said something malyalam which supposed means he thought we have gone for good or discharged. And he was so happy thinking we went. During lunch this guy was eating so loudly, luckily I did not see him eating because of the curtain dividing the room. After eating he went to the common wash basin and gurgle with water and spitting in to it. And BTW he has hijacked the TV remote and the in house phone too. By the time I leave from here I would be a maliyalam speaking christian.

Maldivian- Flying made simple

Being the first time travelling on Maldivian I felt our nation carrier is very good and competitive for a small country like Maldives. First thing I noticed was the crew was very helpful and the crew was all male. I noticed this because on other airlines I notice that staff are mixed. Anyways felt comfortable and homely when I heard all announcement by dhivehi. Half way the journey refreshment were sereved. It was good and tasty too. And got the Maldivian fav THE FOAH packet. Again another homely thing. The flight went smoothly thru out 1 hour 20 minutes and landed safely in TRV airport. Being all male crew and still they helped a mother in changing a baby's diapers. And got nice set Maldivian playing card in shape I have never seen. And I enjoyed it playing it onboard. And here is my score card. Comfort 8 , Friendliness 7 , Food 9 , Ambience 8, Value for money 9
Bon Voyage BTW Shuau aka OBO I loved Maldivian logo.

GOURMET - Management changed

Went to the Maldives famous gourmet restaurant last night for a special dinner. Everything was spoiled when the brought the menu. Everything on the menu was striked out. Even a Nasi goren. I asked for the reason. And waiter happily said the management has changed. This place was advertised as a five star restaurant on the TV showing exotic dishes. Then I want to pay for the water bottle and leave the place. All of a sudden the manager came with a printed menu and said this is the new menu. I wondered why they did not show it before.

Actually I went for a fine dinning experience but due to the change management was it was not possible. Too bad some changes happen for bad

Child Actor or Child Labour

This is a family of four (their is is one more infant in the mothers lap) I saw at Chennai/India as I was in my room I heard loud bangs on some sort drum and metal pans. I looked thru the window and saw this. They have made makeshift tightrope with some sticks and some rope on the road it self. and pegged the rope in the road. As they start to bang the drums she ( abt 3-4 years) start to walk on the rope. She walked barefoot, with slippers on , and rolling a bicycle wheel, and also walked balancing a something on her head. And surprising thing is she walked without any safety nets or harness

And all this act was just to earn something for the family. I wondered why the kid has to all the hard work at this age. When his father & mom and able bodied and strong healthy people. I cannot name any other name other than child labour for this act.
