One has to admit that there was variety in commuting in the capital: One could travel by the ordinary DTC and be crushed; or one could take one of the ‘special’ buses and get squeezed into a pulp, or one could travel by the ‘Mudrika’ and get suffocated or then one could go by one of the private buses and hang on to dear life!
Hey folks! Guess what? It is not just houses but also blog hosts that I keep moving to and from. And it is now time for the move again. Please bear with me as the younger one is shifting the blog. I know I have not been very regular these past months but am definitely […]
