THe GReaT inDIan TouRist sPOT!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting to write this one for quiet some time now..... This is also based on my recent visit to AGRA.. where I saw the TAJ.....

During my stay there, there was not much I could do apart from eating, eating and eating.. as i had gone for 'the great north indian wedding!'. So whenever I had to escape the unavoidable trauma, I would pick one of my cousins and go roaming on the streets of Agra on a Scooter.

It was kind of funny as to why were we actually using the same. As we would have to break every 20 metres. There are no traffic rules what so ever in the holiday destination of India. There are random people who cross the road, with no trouble at all, even if they see a speeding truck coming towards them. the one who gets scared first, stops, is the rule. One who can drive here can drive anywhere on this earth. There are vegetable vendors, parked bikes, cows, half naked kids, dogs, kachori & samosa stalls and everything else possible avaiable for you to tackle on the road. If you can save yourself from them, then you have these wannabe Hrithik's, Abhishek's and John's who wear Rs.20 sunglasses and drive with earplugs in their ears!!!

As it is a tourist destination, every nook and corner has a hotel! All these hotels claim to be a 2 star, 4 star, etc.... who graded them i have no clue what so ever. But they claim that. The name of the hotels is not important (to the owners). Cause all the hotels have their hoarding as AC, fully air condined, best facilities and not their actuall names.
The best part is, that most of the time they donot have electricity.

Then there are the great gutters.. that are always over flowing.. the state of cleanliness is pathetic. The only place where you can find them to be good are in and around the TAJ.
Everything has its own pacein the city, it has its own MCdonalds and Pizza hut.. all the latest fashion brands... but then where is the groth for the city, with no decent colleges to study in, no infrastructure, no electricity and no rules.

But the city has sustained and the people have learned to get things done. The one word that wrks the most effectivley in the tourism town is 'Jugaad'!!!!!
