FIVE : PAN SHORES


THERE'S NO OTHER COUNTRY MORE INDIAN THAN PAKISTAN.
My adulation of Pakistan stems from the my ancestral roots in Sialkot Punjab,(Pakistan)
All speak Punjabi.
Eat the same food.
Have similar rituals.
N i love wearing those long kurtas and those lovely pyjamas..
My maiden trip to Pakistan is certainly on priority.

Afghanistan is one of biggest inspiration for me. I've been fortunate to be a part of UNHRC/CIP sponsored periodic surveys and reports on Afghanistan. It's a country where nothing comes easy, not even a night's sleep. Of the few educated Afghans i met in Dubai and other Persian Gulf regions, i remember the vignettes of a certain teary eyed individual and what he said. THE ONE WHO CAN FIGHT, CAN MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER NIGHT.


There's a lot more to Israel than just hostilities.(though i love it for that part...convoys, arms, cops, all out on streets). I've loved my obsessive time in Israel. On sides of its borders with enraging enimosity in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria to Tel Aviv, Haifa, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Dead Sea and others.  It's been brilliant. HEART FOR ISRAEL.

If there's a country i'd like to see myself professionally ascensioned, it has to be Singapore. I simply love the island. Everything about it. I love those long walks, long empty drives, the night safaris, the sentosa casinos, the people, and ofcourse, Sembawang!

Hate it or love it. United States is by some distance, the greatest nation on earth. The landscape, the people, life, there is hardly anyone.anything better than it. Wish Indians can learn being more cheerful and smiling and large hearted from the Americans, apart from the other non sense that certain Indians keep aping. East coast is rocking, west coast is madness, and hawaii is elevating...
