Que Sera Sera: The Egypt Chronicles - New Year's night
http://vikasshankar.blogspot.com/2012/02/egypt-chronicles-new-years-night.html
Whatever will be, will be. Saturday, February 18, 2012. The Egypt Chronicles - New Year's night. It was fun, but SK had seen (and shown on his camera) better ones from his. Visit to the Pyramids at the start of the trip (he had already been in Cairo for a few days before we arrived). We went back up to our floor and I was sorting out currency for SP and SK. (I was the local forex guy, remember. I think I finally slept after seeing SK off at about 6:30 AM. Labels: Life Outside India. Beaches, Blue Jeans, ...

Que Sera Sera: The Egypt Chronicles - Day 7
http://vikasshankar.blogspot.com/2012/01/egypt-chronicles-day-7.html
Whatever will be, will be. Monday, January 23, 2012. The Egypt Chronicles - Day 7. Day 7 was a day of leisure and unwinding. We had been sailing since dawn. Do you recall. We had got off the boat at Edfu, and went into town, met a local policeman, eaten tuna sandwiches and called off what would have been a tremendous prank. We had to recall that, too, over a continental breakfast spread of croissants and brioches. A felucca made a great shot against the dusty desert in the background. I just ambled my wa...

Whatever will be, will be. Monday, January 30, 2012. The Egypt Chronicles - Day 9. I woke up to find SK standing in the aisle next to our seats. "It's nearly 5 AM", he said. That was when we were expecting to arrive at Cairo. One by one, everybody woke up as the train reached our final destination. Cairo - home to the greatest exhibits of mathematics and engineering - the Pyramids. Arabic, lah",. I said, "No Arabic". Lah, @£% throat straining syllables $%$, Arabi? In this part of the world. We made a...

Que Sera Sera: April 2012
http://vikasshankar.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Whatever will be, will be. Saturday, April 21, 2012. The Egypt Chronicles - Day 10. So, the priority for the early leavers was to visit the Egyptian Museum across the Tahrir Square, the others would continue to the Khan-el-Khalili market to do some touristy shopping. A small batch of us went ahead into the museum, while the others dallied around to settle the bills, pack up and book their onward travel to Dahab. Labels: Life Outside India.

Que Sera Sera: December 2009
http://vikasshankar.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Whatever will be, will be. Saturday, December 19, 2009. The iPhone User Review. I loved the phone for its minimalistic design. I loved the seamlessness with which the phone curved together to meet the flat screen. There were no hard keys to press on the front face, nor many buttons at the sides (think reset, push to talk, voice activation etc). Still, for all its looks, the phone looked like a watered down version of my Xda Orbit. On paper. At the time we bought the iPhone 3G, the Orbit. Now, with Orange...

Que Sera Sera: The Egypt Chronicles - Day 8
http://vikasshankar.blogspot.com/2012/01/egypt-chronicles-day-8.html
Whatever will be, will be. Saturday, January 28, 2012. The Egypt Chronicles - Day 8. After making sure the last night on the boat was worth it, the gang had gone off in the early hours of the morning to pack and get their bags out. The dancing and the sleeplessness had taken a toll on everybody. Everyone packed in a stupor. The drive back was more fun. The sun and the walk had shaken everyone awake, and now on the way back, out of tune Antakshari started out, before it just became a 4 line song fest ...
