Thai...

Well, made a recent visit to Thai... Here are some pointers.

• Package really works. Cheaper!
• But we need to ensure that the package is in fact giving the best deal by checking the flight tickets of various airlines & hotels. Otherwise, we are in loss for sure.
• Ensure the correct documents are available before travel. Likewise, ensure that you'll have a person whom you can contact & touch base with always so that you get the biggest advantage.
• Visa - Just walk to the Visa on arrival counter when you get down at the airport, start filling in the form right away. Go to the counter ASAP because queue will pain you. Check for priority queue based on amount or with infants, disabled etc...
• Mobile - 2 options - Seven Eleven stores - Get a TRUE sim, recharge - Talking to India is 3 bahts per min. The other one is calling card with 2 bahts per minute. In the calling card, call quality & signal is not good. Trade off? But I don't think going with Matrix pre-paid sims from India is a good option, because 35 bahts per minute.
• Pattaya - Culture is only bars, call girls, every single foreigner is walking with a Thai girl...
• Lots of Ganesh statues & people just pray so passionately on the roads
• For sure visit the Elephant show from Pattaya, Coral island, Parachutes, walking under water, beaches, speed boat, water biking... I did couple...
• Go for Gems gallery... some time to spend...
• People told about Phuket island. May be some day... Not in this trip.
• Bangkok - Visit the Buddha temples, do shopping in Indra market...
• Bangkok - Go for Safari world, good one to see... People mentioned about boat night cruise, but couldn't do it.
• Toyota Commuter is a real helper. And the people to contact need to be at your help.
• The Kurma Avatar depiction in Suvarnabhumi airport is a good sight.
• Go for tent shops & you can ofcourse bargain. Go for souveniers...
• Heard that all stuffs in Thai are more expensive than India...
• Better to carry cash...
• Indian Restaurents are almost all around. But better to carry stuffs with you especially with infants.
• Complimentary breakfast in the hotels are kind of a boon. Make things simple enough...
• 12 Noon is checkout time folks... Don't forget
• TukTuk or Taxi will ofcourse come handy in Bangkok.
• Use the hotel stuffs in your room unless you don't have a choice.
• Don't forget the massage... At least sample it out...

Talk

Talk li'l but sweet

Opportunities

Look for opportunities in difficulties, not the difficulties in opportunities.

Temporary

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections...

Everything in life is temporary…

Darkness of the night or brightness of the day

Even sunrise is temporary… And so is sunset.

If things are going good enjoy it… It wouldn't last forever

And if things are going bad

Don't worry because it too wouldn't last forever.

Everything just passes by…

Today’s Bonus:

It is correct to say

Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday Afternoon.

But it wrong to say Yesterday night. Alternatively last night is acceptable.

Bank Account

If you have heard about Emotional Bank Account, start looking into it with new fresh pair of eyes & open mind. But, its really a good concept for our day to day living.

Ganesh Visarjan

It was so good to see so many huge Ganesha idols being carried along all the roads with so many people playing all the music & dancing... Such a Happy Enthusiastic Occasion for all people around.

Rich Man

“The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least.”

We should not say “I am going to home”. Home is never preceded by “To”. We have to say “I am going home”.

Man's Heart

Thoughts from Man's heart - very very hilarious...

Thought 1

When we are born, our mothers get the compliments and the flowers.

When we are married, our brides get the presents and the publicity.

When we die, our widows get the life insurance.

What do women want to be liberated from?

Thought 2

The average man's life consists of:

Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going,

Forty years of having his wife ask the same question;

and at the end, the mourners wondering too where he is going.

Thought 3

Everyone in the wedding ceremony was watching the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle to give away to the groom. They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand. Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father by the bride.

The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something. So he announced :

'Ladies and Gentlemen. Today is the luckiest day of my life ...' Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and continued, 'My daughter finally, finally returned my Credit Card to me.'

The whole audience including the priest started laughing . . . . . But not the poor Groom ! ! !

And now the Best one. . . . .

Thought 4

A Man was walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind, 'If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you.'

The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished. He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road. Once again the voice shouted, 'Stop ! Stand still ! If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die.'

The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him. The man asked. 'Who are you?'

'I am your guardian angel,' the voice answered.

'Oh, yeah?' the man said 'And where the Hell were you when I got married?'

Parents

Some good parenting advices & tips...

Panic

It's just not media hype this time but every single politician in India fears & every Indian is looking forward to the Ayodhya verdict, a week away. Hope things will not be turned upside down yet another time in India...

Mallya - In Movie?

Vijay Mallya is taking his latest business steps into almost every single sports entertainment world like IPL, Force India & so on, where money is being tapped from a common man & a mid financed individual.

Is he into movie world entertainment business too? Any production?

Sahara...

Yet another interesting acquisition - Sahara taking over MGM

Acquire GenPact

Top Schools

Forbes slides on the World's top 20 universities

Shooting

The Jama Masjid shooting is for sure to create some level of panic among foreign tourists who are expected to come for the CWG. Especially shooting the tourists & show casing the possible cracks in the security arrangements in the Indian Capital. But, nothing will deter India...

Dabangg

Saw Dabangg.

No idea why it is a block buster to cross even 3 idiots even in 1st week. Its one mass masala flick like so many other movies in Tamil & Telugu. Stunts are all eye catching but all the same like the good ones from Tamil-Telugu industry.

The whole Hindi industry is not having any such mass masala stunt based movies lately & I think, this movie has filled in the gap...
