Air India Flight– For Better Or For Worse

Everyone keeps talking about how Air India flights of the Indian ‘National’ carrier, is going to the dumps. Being the staunch nationalist that I am, I always refused to go by the hype. After all, I had travelled a few times by Indian Airlines, the domestic carrier, and found the services fairly decent – surely its elder brother wouldn’t be as bad as people kept saying all over. Things couldn’t be so bad –the optimist in me always said.

This was my stand till my visit abroad with my family recently, when my tour operator fixed up a schedule that had the country’s premier carriers ferrying us from country to country.

Of International Jobs And Spending In Dollars

My recent experience at the improved income levels my international job has brought me, has had me undergoing certain changes I never thought could happen to me. From converting everything that the local currency in Uganda or Dubai had to offer into Indian Rupees to gauge its value, there was a reversal of roles. Suddenly I found myself calculating the auto fare from the ISBT to my destination near India Gate in dollars. Rs 80 – oh, that’s about $2 – its OK I guess. I stopped bargaining with the auto-rickshaw driver and sat down without a murmur. Is this the real me?

Even though I fully know my job abroad is barely for one year, I suddenly found myself spending money like there was no end. What’s that? You like it, wifey? Go ahead and buy it then – never mind the cost. Ahem. My wife would look at me in wonder, and then politely refuse – its too expensive. At least one of us was still sane.

I have to confess – the power of good money definitely makes you feel good. The fact that you don’t have to look at the backside of the labels before you regretfully tell the salesman- actually I like it, but I’ll come back with my wife for a second opinion. Or think whether or not you are likely to visit the same hotel again before tipping the waiter handsomely. Whoever said that that money doesn’t buy happiness needs to take re-birth in the modern world at least once.

Having your pockets full has its benefits. You can be generous to the street urchin who has been pestering you ever since you got off your car, and watch the grateful expression in his eyes (whatever a certain movie explaining the professionalism behind begging may say). You can tip the servant at your parents’ home pretty well and be assured of a smiling face and a willing worker the next time you make a trip. You can tell your little son to go ahead and actually play the video game he always wanted to, and which you always made him content with by moving the steering wheel along with the demo version. You can fill up the tank of your car without worrying about how long it will last. Many more such minor joys could be added to this list – it is never-ending.

Now if only someone could find a way to make my one-year tenure a little more long-lasting, before I return to the same basic salary and penny-pinching ways!

I am beginning to understand the craze for settling abroad amongst our youth. Or that broad smile that encompasses the face of the person you are talking to, the moment you tell him you’re going for a foreign assignment.

It’s All About Money, Honey!

Different parts of the same state

Surprise - as it turned out, I've ended up discussing two entirely opposite observations in two parts of the same state - one part totally dominated by foreign tourists and no Indian tourist in sight, and the other bang opposite - only Indians and barely any foreigners! Two sides of a coin?

WHITHER THE INDIAN TOURIST?

On a recent visit to the remote valley of Zanskar in Ladakh, I came across a large number of foreign tourists. People from all over the world -Germans, French, Dutch, Israelis, British - to name a few, thronged the place. They arrived after a treacherous 12 hour road journey from Kargil over a risky half metalled road, or trekked 10 days all the way from Manali. Amongst all the energetic activity in a beautiful and forgotten corner of India, one kind of tourist, however, was conspicuous by his absence . The Indian tourist. Which got me thinking. Why is it that a part of India which is a world wide attraction , fails to attract any attention from within its own country?

The place which has endless multi colored hues of mountains shining in all their glory. Different colors - Crimson Red, Steel Gray, Pastel Green, Pale Yellow, even Milky White adorn these magnificent, huge features, giving them a special life of their own. The casual trekker comes across breath taking scenes of glaciers stretching away for as for as the eye can see. Crystal clear streams cross the path, descending hundreds of feet in a cascade of beauty to join the main river below . Another major attraction is the Centuries old traditions preserved undisturbed in this ancient land . Being cut off from the out side world for up to nine months a year even today, the sight of several centuries old monuments is not uncommon . One Buddhist temple is 900 years old , another has an idol installed by the great king Kanishka. The Buddhist Monk Dance of Zanskar is one of its purest forms surviving today. And yet - no Indian tourists.

Perhaps as a race we are just not interested in all this. Adventure does not lure us, traditions repel us. All the average Indian looks for on a holiday is a place which has cool air, a good marketplace where he can splurge his money, Punjabi dhabas where he can eat butter chicken to his heart’s content. Where is the adventure spirit in us? Why are we afraid to go out of the narrow confines of materialistic enjoyment? Perhaps we are too scared of enjoying the beauties of nature as it involves a bit of work. No one wants to walk - trekking is an arduous task. Having recently got our rightful share of the Marutis, the Fords, the Toyotas and the Hyundais, we do not want to go anywhere which will take us away from our beloved cars. But ask anyone who has actually ever done a trek - and he will tell you of an enchanting experience which cannot be forgotten in this lifetime at least. The peace & calm, the lovely sights enroute, the gushing streams and a wild “marmat” or Ibex surprising you with its grace - these are feelings which are not forgotten in hurry. And yet we as tourists are happy with scrambling across the 50ft piece of ice above Manali blackened with dust and smoke, just because a road goes there - ignoring the vast and magnificent beauty beyond.

And who is interested in tradition? Perhaps we already have an overdose in our society. While the entire west looks towards us for solutions to their inners upheavals, we as a nation are busy aping the west. No one has time for elaborate rituals that are thousands of years old. After all, we are too busy attending the shopping festivals at Dubai, or scouring the streets of Singapore for bargains. Not for nothing are Indians reputed to be some of the most voracious spenders on foreign jaunts!


Yet for an extremely economic holiday, and to get away from the stress and strain of daily life, I would still suggest a trek in the Himalayas. The Zanskar valley is a ten day trek from Manali, and thereupon there is a further seven day trek to Lamayuru near Leh. One can even go to Leh by road from Zanskar, going through the now famous Kargil. Enroute are visible the famous twin peaks of Nun-Kun, both over 7000 meters high and a favourite of mountain expeditions. Needless to say, they are covered with permanent milk- white glaciers. The more adventurous lot can plan a mountaineering expedition to these famous twin tops, which will take about a fortnight in actual execution. Padam, which is the headquarters, offers several options for staying in the form of hotels and camping sites. The desert mountains all around are a feast for the eyes - with not a blade of grass growing and huge rocks weathered into exciting shapes of all types. And if one is lucky, one may get to witness a famous Ladakhi dance. All this is available in only one place in the world - Ladakh - and we have it in India. Now if only we could shake ourselves out of our Marutis and Santros ………

Travel In India

To begin with, I'll post a couple of articles I'd written on travelling in Ladakh, India, and will go on to add more later. Currenty I'm in Sudan, Africa, and will pen down my views form here as well!
