Bid adieu to the Routemasters:-(



Alas!!! London just bid adieu to the Routemasters - their darling infamous double decker buses....These are being replaced by the more disabled friendly VLA's. Guess with convenience and fairness to all users - we lose out on some aspects typical of the past.Hence......all for good..........:)
Now back to the double decker buses - rode them in Mumbai earlier and then managed to ride them in London also...and wow are they fun!!!
The kick comes when you sit in the upper deck and right up in front- feels as though u are careening into the houses and the buildings - do try it - it feels freakily awesome.......:):):)

Now to trains - isn't it fun to discuss transport stuff ..well wosup Kartik did send me a link to a story in www.rediff.com, about a train to Lhasa. Isn't that awesome!!!!. I hope its true and the Chinese have all intentions of allowing us souls to travel to a place near heaven........ahhhh - Tibet...it sure is one of the places to see just due to its secluded mystical charm. The cold desert sitting in the midst of nowhere........hmmmmmmmmm.........guess should watch Seven Years in Tibet - again !!!

OK BTW -

Those aren't Hyd international airport supposedly, that's Terminal 3 of Dubai Int'l Airport's expansion scheme -

No wonder all the plane models shown are Emirates Air. All because of Shruthi!
