V Ramasamy

Traveling to Malaysia and Singapore was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. These two Southeast Asian countries, though geographically close, offer a striking contrast in culture, architecture, and pace of life.

My journey began in Malaysia, a country known for its multicultural society and natural beauty. I landed in Kuala Lumpur, the vibrant capital city. The iconic Petronas Twin Towers welcomed me with their gleaming presence. I was impressed by how the city balanced tradition … Continue reading Trip to Malaysia and Singapore

       METRO MUSINGS

V Ramasamy

I have been travelling in Delhi Metro since 2009. As you are aware, Delhi metro is the most convenient and comfortable mode of transport. During my daily travel, I used to encounter a lot of passengers. Most of them are friendly, cooperative and having good attitude too. But I experience a strange behaviour when they join the ‘metro crowd’ which is not only interesting, amusing and sometimes beyond logic too! When you get down to a platform which is in basement at Rajiv Chowk, you happen to see that there is always a heavy rush to the coach which comes … Continue reading        METRO MUSINGS

One from Coimbatore by road and … Continue reading Memory lane – Ooty
