Live is to give not to take.
Swami Rama Tihtha proclaims: The way to gain anything is to lose it. The more you run after wealth , the more it recedes. You crave for it, and it eludes you. Leave it alone, and it will follow you. Work earnestly dispassionately, the reward of the work shall court you.

In an interview Mr Joerg Mueller (Pres & MD) confirmed to the Indian press that the commercial vehicle arm of VOLKSWAGEN is looking at India with great interest. " Our commercial vehicle team will come to India next week and study to stoduy the market" he said.
VOLKSWAGEN was decades not interested into the Indian market for commercial vehicles as well as for private cars and now suddenly by a study of the COMMERCIAL VEHICLE TEAM they think they might be able to penetrate into the phalanx of a cost dominated market by the local players as TATA, ASHOK-LEYLAND and EICHER.
SO BLAUAUGIG UND EINGEBILDET KOENNEN NUR DIE WOLFSBUERGER SEIN
But is getting even worse today a big advertisment in Indian Times and I assume also in the other major Indian newspapers
WE GERMANS AREN'T REALLY KNOW FOR OUR SENSE OF HUMOUR, IT'S OUR CARS THAT MAKES US SMILE.
This statement may be true for the shareholders of VW but an Indian really cannot understand this statement. He is not aware that French and Italian see the Gernans as a folk without humour, which is from my point of view not true, but not important in this context. Why should an Indian buy an overpriced German car, just because the Germans have no sense of humour.
I am sure this advertisment will cost 100,000 not rupees but euro, please spend this money to the poor people there are here 26 Mio of them with an income less than 1 euro per day, they will be very thankfull
Supreme Court in Delhi once more confirmed that the sexual relationship with a woman (by the way what is with man ?) on making her believe that he will marry her is rape. In this case the Supreme Court represented by the bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and P. Sathasivam decided that the sexual relationship of a married man with another woman on making her believe that he is unmarried or on the promis of marriage is rape. Since he was already married , the subsequent marriage if any has no santicity in law and is void ab initio.
Everybody should know that rape can be punished by 7 years jail and the Indian jails are by far not as comfortable as the European.
Paul’s whistling sound gets these timid creatures rushing up to him, competing with invading sparrows for his attention. He remembers the time, five years ago, when he began feeding dogs and birds at Lodi Gardens. Today, the ritual occupies two hours of his daily routine. The squirrels, in those days, maintained distance. Then one morning, one of them came, tentatively took a nut from him and ate it right in front of him. It was as if he had been sent by the other members of his gang. That was it. The ice had been broken and now they come in twos and fours, climbing all over him, eating out of his hands, literally.
Paul says he can identify each squirrel out of the lot and even points out the one which is in the family way.

The trip did not start too well, in Mumbai there was a torrential rain (normal is rainy season) the runway at Mumbai airport was completely flooded and I assume this was the reason the pilot selected for a very steep landing. The plane jumped 2 times in the air and I thought I would land in the hospital. After all everything went well. The dangereous drive to Nashik was without difficulties due to a very prudent driver (normally the Indian proffesional drivers have kamikaze mentality), but I never had really an opportunity to take pictures since my camera is not suited for underwater snapshots. Well at least I have 2 nice pictures from Hotel Jupiter where I had an agreable stay

.Since the guesthouse is now quite close to the guesthouse normally I take a walk, it is a quite road but still there are unusual things to see (at least for Western eyes).
The appartment is on the 14 th floor which gives the opportunity not only to see the wild waste deposit but also a small market at the weekends.
By the way the dog is not dead , it ios just sleeping on the side of the street.

just walking along a busy road with a long lane of more or less illegal parked cars, jut passing a car it left the lane and run with the right tire over my feet. Of course I shouted some 100- 200 kg on the feet is not a nice feeling. Shouted to the driver, immediately some group of meanest indian mam came and agreed all that I provoked the accident. I left the place, thinking what am i doing here if a car drives over my toes I am even blamed to have provoked the accident.
Please dont visit this country it is still not not suitable for tourist or at least wear security shoes ! You may be sure that if you have an accident you will never come to your rights,but if this would happen in W- Europe we are raccist.
On the pictures the number plate of the car which was on my feet and the face of the leader of the gange accusing me provoking the accident .jpg)

And my favorite blog an amusing but sarcastic blog Swantje Strieder's "Mail aus Mumbai". For people without India- expierences the stories seem to be unbelievable but it is all Indian reality
