Me myself n Zurich

Landing in Zurich on a chill nit (1 degree to be specific) with very less ppl in airport was a strange feeling. Landing on the most beautiful part of the earth was actually a dream come true for any brown engineer (tats wat Europeans call us!!). When i landed i remembered a chapter from english school book written by R K Narayan when he visited perth , I quote "The aiport was like a silent movie!!"...ditto in zurich..........apart from my fellow indians and I making some noise pollution.

Zurich is a beautiful city, also shown a lot in my few fav movies like DDLJ and Schindler's list.
Though am still searching for tat famous bridge where SRK and Kajol was dancing as well as Zurich HB railway station's exact spot where in other parts are shot.

Good points abt this good city is:

1-2 out of 1000 kids cry in public places......unlike India (when ever i get into a bus for nit journey the bus will have minimum 2 small kids who cries continuously in short intervals)

Every train has free newspapers which ppl keep reading all the time, or they have book in hand all the time

Every 2nd and 3rd vehicle is Merc and Audi

When there is no traffic signal, and there is a zebra crossing, all the vehicles allow the people to cross first (i am really scared abt this, bcoz when i cum bak to India this habit is a serious problem and cud lead to disastrous consequences, I always thought ppl returning from foreign country try to behave smart, but trust me in case of traffic signal they dont!!!)

The best thing abt this city/country is a single pass is valid in Train,Tramp,Bus

It has the best transport system.

People are very friendly and obsessed with India (no joking!! every one want to cum to GOA)

Highly fashion conscious junta

Every 3rd shop is a watch shop where in the collection includes PAPPU's RADO, Mrs Rai Bachan's Longines and the new kid in the block Ms Deepika Padukone's Tissot. The two ladies are dominating here with their postures.


Bad points:
