    suny wrote a new post, Why people in India are in such a hurry? 8 years, 3 months ago

    I was disappointed to see rear tire of my car flat so my wife and I decided to go to city by roadways city service bus. We here so much about use of public transport in the interest of environment but it was more […]

    • I agree with u completely. It is most observed in public places that Indian people do not have any manners or civic sense. The moment the airplane lands, they scramble to reach out to their baggage on top and will stand for 10-15 minutes but would not sit as if they dont hurry the plane will take them to another destination …lol.

      Same is the case with trains, before letting people out of the compartments, passengers try to ump inside to occupy seats.

      I think it will need a generation to change this mindset, this is a mindset of a third world country where the resources are scarce, we are taught from childhood to be number one, we are taught that there is competition all around, we are never taught that people around are to help each other.

    • I thought our country was the only country where people are always in a hurry to go nowhere, whether it’s the cars in traffic or the people on the side walks. But one thing is that there is always order of things, and public vehicles are not crowded because it’s law that no one is to be found standing in any public vehicle. And that’s a good thing. I have always heard friends talk about India and it’s many people and crowded streets may be the government should do something to regulate the moving around of people.

    • I’m like you. If folks are in a hurry, let them go! 🙂

    • Yes India is a big country and every people in every country is in hurry not in India but in all over the world is the same condition but only the difference is that somewhere less and somewhere more in hurry are people.

      My friend told me last year with sad heart that In USA people are also in hurry. After completing our annual drive across country from the East Coast of the United States to Colorado, in the Far West, I found myself asking why people are in such a hurry that they do dangerous things. My experiences and observations, as I drove, were of drivers tailgating, weaving in and out of lanes, passing cars from the right lane and going at alarmingly high rates of speed and well beyond speed limits.

      I think that in many ways this essay is not only about traffic and driving but about how we live our lives. People are in a hurry to get to their first and second jobs. They are in a hurry to complete tasks at home, in school and at work. People rush from one place to another but rarely take time to think about what they are doing. I have a good friend who is working endless hours to put his son through a top notch college so that he can go to medical school. He is living life at a break neck speed and is not taking time to think about what he is doing to himself. This good friend already suffers from high blood pressure, and high cholesterol addiction to several other health problems.

      There are healthier ways to cope with life’s difficulties such as getting plenty of exercise and using yoga and meditation to release tension and getting in touch with living in the moment rather than hurrying. Remember, when driving, when living, being in a hurry can result in never getting there.

    I am an Indian so I have nothing to do directly with Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for forth coming presidential elections of the United States of America but there is so much on stake for me and my […]

    • If Donald Trump wins, expect insanity. Expect more military action, more racist action, and many countries will be treated as badly as they were 100 years ago.

      This is a dishonest, prejudiced, thoughtless and uncouth creature. He should not be elected.

    • You’re not American. But can imagine how we Americans feel? I have lived through several elections. This is the first time both candidates are scary! Not looking forward to the next political administration. I have a sense of dread and foreboding.

    • When someone says that i do not concern with PM or President means he is not fair with public because the public of all countries on earth are honest and sociable wand to live peacefully with one an other but politicians fight status war and thus restrictions are imposed on public as the India nation and Pakistani nation want to live peacefully but the leaders do not want peace on earth you may see this situation on the whole universe.

      The Bible says about leadership, n 1 Kings 21, we learn of a certain Naboth, the owner of a vineyard. King Ahab wants Naboth’s vineyard and thus offers what he considers a fair trade. “I will you give better land or money!,” Ahab offers, “Which do you prefer, Naboth?” Ahab, however, misses something important; for Naboth, the value of this land is not financial but ancestral. The land connects Naboth to his family’s identity and story. The land is not just any plot, not just some dirt and vines. The land is who he is. This is not something with which Naboth can part. This land is not just property. This land is who he is.

      So the king is rejected by Naboth. Ahab’s feelings, apparently, are easily bruised. He mourns his inability to close this land deal, but Jezebel, his spouse, intercedes: “I will give you the vineyard,” she says. To do so, she conspires to organize a hit on Naboth: two scoundrels will accuse him of blasphemy and treachery. They do, and Naboth becomes the victim of a public stoning.

      No one asks about Naboth’s innocence or guilt. No one intercedes on his behalf. No one even takes the blame for this miscarriage of justice; notice what the two scoundrels report back, saying, “Naboth has been stoned” (italics added) as if they and Jezebel and Ahab had nothing to do with Naboth’s demise, as if his death just happened.

      Ponder over the statemwnt of the holy Bible about the leadership will open your eyes.

    • Why did you stop? Why not hit us with the rest of the info here.

      You know getting some first hand testimonial from people who have tried things first has a great way of motivating someone into doing the right thing.

      • Sorry for the cliff hanger! All parts were written but it is taking quite a while to get appr

      • argh! As I was saying, I had the entire testimonial series submitted but it is taking some time to get approved. I see you have read the second part which contained the payment proof but I am still waiting o. the third part to cap it off (ie why you should consider it for yourself). I don’t get anything by telling this but there has been doubts on the site especially because there is the ‘catch’ with the paid domain but I hope that online earners would re-consider since it really pays anyway.

    • I think this site is for serious Travel bloggers who are not blogging to get pennies apart from the Pounds.

      • Probably it is since there is a sort of “investment” when you buy a domain. But judging from some of the articles submitted on the site, they really do accept all proficiency and command of the English language. So even if you are not overly confident on your English, you can earn from the first article. 🙂

    • I like both versions. Yours and your husband’s. Yummy either way. 🙂

      • Thanks! 🙂 I don’t often cook it with tomato passata and stick with what I grew up with because I don’t want to have a lot of leftover passata inside our fridge (unless I plan to cook another tomato-based dish again).

    • thanks for your share. This minced meat recipe is similar to our chinese version too, however, we don’t mix with vegetables, instead, we used chopped chinese black mushrooms and oyster sauce.

      • Oh, I think I tried that version before, too! 🙂 I also cook pork mince in oyster sauce and add spring onions and mushrooms but I use just the regular button mushrooms as it is the cheapest option here. Asian vegetables often cost twice in comparison to locally produced vegetables. Well it makes sense anyway. Probably to cover for taxes and importation costs.

    • Yeah it is super easy to cook. I think it literally took me 45 minutes (including prep time) to finish the entire dish! It took me a lot longer to chop the vegetables in tiny cubes, LOL!
