Keeping a large number of people for security purposes and flashing red lights on top of their cars have become status symbol.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-79409150804045885322013-04-03T21:50:12.483-07:002013-04-03T21:50:12.483-07:00I never thought eating alone is even noticed, I al...I never thought eating alone is even noticed, I always do it when go outside..<br /><br />VIP's security is a real bane, I feel nobody should be provided any security at all, why..there are enough replacement possible:)<br /><br />In India everything applies to majority only...<br /><br />More the problems..more the crowds in Temples...<br /><br />autos...god only can save us from them..Renuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052079745061422542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-82711017445345632432013-04-03T08:58:24.942-07:002013-04-03T08:58:24.942-07:00Thanks for your comments Sandhya.

As you said what would they do in a 'situation'!<br /><br />I have never eaten out alone. If I am too hungry, I drink a flaroured milk pack. Yes, I have seen some lone women eating alone, but not many.<br /><br />Yes, temples are too crowded and Pradosham and Kriththigai days have more. It was not like this earlier! Even Karunanidhi's family women can be seen in Alwarpet Aanjaneyar temple regularly!<br /><br />Auto drivers mostly fleece. Very rarely we come across honest drivers. I haven't come across much drivers who didn't knew the way.<br /><br />Jewellery...people think it as an investment here. So, the crowds!Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478831923010850316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-61021085762412734222013-04-02T22:17:52.009-07:002013-04-02T22:17:52.009-07:00Thanks for your comments Krishna.
