Marathon Travel

 

6 flights in 13 days …. I have never travelled this much in so short a time.

 
I have been travelling international routes since last 7 years and crossed international borders practically every quarter and off late it became every month too. But crossing several international borders within a matter of 2 weeks in a new one for me

I would be crossing international borders 6 times in 13 days in the second half of March  travelling about 3500 km by air ...

Add to that 2 train journeys (1500 km) and several Bus journeys (totalling about 500 km) in the first half of the month and it looks like a month of travelling, travelling and travelling .... almost 5500+ km of travelling in the month !!!

 

And the next month promises to be the similar … phew !

This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
