First visit to Russia– on route to India

Both my onward and return journey from India were through Moscow airport. Though my stay in were brief to be even counted as landing in Russia, I liked the place a lot. The first thing that comes to mind when landing at airport is, they have a lot of space, esp. if you coming from place like India and New york .The airport is huge. Looking through the window of my flight, I could see small houses, with big gardens, farms … a perfect way of life for me. The infrastructure of the airport seemed more like India, then the west. And the best part – language. I cannot understand a word of Russian language, but it just feels good to hear. I am going back to US, sitting at the Moscow airport. This time it has snowed, and man, the sight is beautiful . I just cant wait to get to Pittsburgh, which apparently has got its own share of snow.
As I had a lot of time to kill , both on my way to India and return, I visited some of the terminals here. They vary a bit in infrastructure. Terminal D seemed quite modern and full big view of the airport. Other terminals have very very big shops, especially terminal F. I was feeling more at a shopping mall then an airport.
This part of the article is a note for self and others who might be travelling. 1) Security checks in russia are very less compared to India/US. 2) Russian Airlines(Aerofloat) is the best I have travelled till now, esp because of big space for seats(Your are not crammed) and USB ports availability. I would definitely recommend them( I have travelled a lot on many different carriers and aerofloat is best). If u vegetarian , make sure put vegan while booking the flight or check in.3) Going to India- definitely buy alcohol at moscow airport – all good one’s, nicely priced.

The White Tiger - Review

India and China are deemed as the next super power of the world . There is steep growth rate for both the countries,and constructive development everywhere .The book is written in this context and presented as a series of seven letters to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. Indian development is quite restricted to some big cities which have struck Gold with MNC's coming there.Most of the other part of India where this urbanization have not reached still lives in their old ways. The author tries to bring about the reality of this "Urbanization", which is plagued with curruption . The book can be devide in two parts the one in which balram halwai is in his village or in Dhanbad . The next can be the one when he comes to Delhi with Ashok .First part shows the atmosphere of the village , poorness, misery , and corruption prevalent there . you feel pity for Balram Halwai his Father and brother Kishan . Author has been able to bring about the contrast b/w rich and poor , and miserie...
