You know how when trucks go into reverse, they beep? Well, here in Pune, when some cars go into reverse, they play songs. It's one of the most entertaining things I've encountered. In fact, it never gets old. These cars parked across the street from my in-laws house play a range of songs. My personal favorite at the moment is the one that plays Jingle Bells. I want to find the owner and ask if he knows it is a Christmas carol. Same for the car that plays Silent Night. Another car plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, while the newest addition to the bunch plays that damn Celine Dion song from Titanic. None of my in-laws' cars play music. I wonder if I can change that...
Originally started to share my two month stay in India with family and friends, this blog has become a portal to share all of my travels (not just to India) as well as thoughts and commentary on a range of topics (mostly India). It's likely to evolve more with time and maybe one day I'll change the title to something deemed more relevant. Just not today.
