Hey guys!!!
I was reading the old blogs. Just realized that we have all come a long way. Also that some things do not change.
Anubhav is still the one trying hard to keep the blog alive J (closely assisted by Nidhi ofcourse) I hope history does not repeat itself and we can all do some serious blogging this time!
Nidhi/Mili- its good to have you guys back in our everyday things. Feels like old times.
Kaushal- M never gng to within a mile of the airport with u!! U come with a fucking garland to receive ppl!!!!
Anubhav- Where did u say you found that ‘Karachi se’ video?
Well enough gyaan. Now about Cape Town.
a) They have penguins there!!! I never knew Southern hemisphere had penguins!!
They also have rather unfriendly Ostriches, baboons (nasty ones) and disgusting ghekkos….
b) I think sometime in the history, all African women gathered around and decided to wage a war against fabrics!! So even when it is freezing, they keep as far as they can from clothes, using it to the minimum!! Take for example Lola (friendly neighbourhood restaurateur where I had most of my dinners)!!! When I was wearing two layers of sweaters, jackets, ear muffs and gloves, Lola wore NOTHING but a micro mini top which barely covered her tits. BARELY!! You should know that Lola is super fat!!! And all the while starved, ill-mannered and not-so-subtle Pakistani journos kept drooling onto their plates, hoping for her boobs to pop out or something!!
c) God alone knows what the entire world has against water!!! Water is more expensive than aerated drinks!!! Morons!
d) It is a city filled with thugs and goons!!! Shops close at 4 pm, people disappear by 6. At 8, the streets are positively out of bounds!!
All that being said, it really is a beautiful, beautiful city. Cant say that enough!! I went to the table top mountain, to all the waterfronts. The high point ofcourse was where Africa ends- The Cape of Good Hope!! You have to see it to believe it. At one point, the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet and it is so overwhelming to stand there, on the tip of that cliff.
I stood there for 20 mins.. just looking into the sea….. the cape of good hope comes under the Table Mountain National Park, again beautiful and nothing like the forests we find in India.
Personally, my high point was meeting Dele Olojede- the journalist who won the Pulitzer for a series on the Rwandan genocide. Brilliant guy.
Anyway, I came back with lots of fridge magnets J so those in Delhi please decide the venue soon.
