Road Tripper: Book review: Love Thy Neighbor – Peter Maass
http://su-on-the-road.blogspot.com/2010/08/book-review-love-thy-neighbor-peter.html
Monday, August 09, 2010. Book review: Love Thy Neighbor – Peter Maass. He interviews refugees fleeing a marauding Serbian army and militia - they tell gut wrenching stories of abuse and torture. He talks to people on both sides of the “conflict”, and it is so easy to see who the bad guys were. If he saw it, and all the other reporters saw it then why did the governments not see it? After reading these cases you realize the absurdity of Lt. Gen. Satish Nambiar’s insistence that “he did...By telling the st...

Road Tripper: Smo(S)kiingggg, somebody stop me!
http://su-on-the-road.blogspot.com/2010/02/smoskiingggg-somebody-stop-me.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. Smo(S)kiingggg, somebody stop me! Last Sunday, someone tried his hand (shouldn’t it be legs? At skiing. Someone went to Feldberg in the black forest, a good beginners slope. Someone went to On-snow skischool. Someone couldn’t stop. Someone. Someone…. Yeah I had my moment(s). But, on the way back. What happened on the way to Feldberg is something else more mundane, but nevertheless something which I would like to chronicle for the sake of chronicling. Dang, I must be reading too...

Road Tripper: July 2011
http://su-on-the-road.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 24, 2011. Book review: “River of Smoke” – Amitav Ghosh. Why do we call sugar “. How did we ever land up with “post-cards” and ketchup? Did you know that we Desis were called “Achhas”? Haha, I won’t tell. Mr Ghosh makes a statement which could as well reflect today’s state of the economy:. Except that these days the Chinese people have an insatiable appetite for all that is remotely European. Book review: “River of Smoke” – Amitav Ghosh. At Sunday, July 24, 2011. Links to this post.

Road Tripper: January 2011
http://su-on-the-road.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 02, 2011. Pre flight check list. After a rather long break from "travelling" the road tripper returns with a new episode of travel stupidity. He spends 3 months "planning" a trip, buys the "rough guide", gets the visa, buys the rather expensive airplane tickets, buys the new language phrase book, and generally spreads the word around in the facebook world that he is off on a rather exotic destination. The works huh? Pre flight check list. At Sunday, January 02, 2011. Links to this post.

Road Tripper: Book review: Maximum City by Suketu Mehta
http://su-on-the-road.blogspot.com/2010/07/book-review-maximum-city-by-suketu.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Book review: Maximum City by Suketu Mehta. So, when an opportunity comes up to read about my first “hometown” I don’t let it go by. A couple of years ago, an Australian by the pen name Gergory Roberts captured the minds (and hearts too? Anyhoo, the next book that I read about Bombay, is completely non-fictional, i.e. 99.99% true, and is set in the early 1990’s. In my mind this is as good a sequel to Shantaram as can get. He interviews men who killed their neighours in the madness...

Road Tripper: Goodbye Germany
http://su-on-the-road.blogspot.com/2010/08/goodbye-germany.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Panoramic view of the Bodensee, Konstanz. I will miss the view sorely. The old quarters of Konstanz escaped the brutal Allied bombing raids of the second world war by keeping its lights on. The pilots confused it with a neighbouring Swiss town of Kreuzlingen, and so the homes from the 1300s survived here, while those in other German cities turned to rubble. Reminders of the past. Street protests in Stuttgart against German involvement in Afghanistan. Labels: life in germany.

Road Tripper: Reichenau and Back
http://su-on-the-road.blogspot.com/2010/05/reichenau-and-back.html
Saturday, May 29, 2010. I have been a little lazy since the last bout of rebellion, and so, also conformed with the doc's orders i.e. no sport for 6 weeks. Lets makes that 8 for good measure :) And today, I wanted to get back with a big bang, not the post-beans kind of big bang, but the symbolic types - telling the body that the hibernating season is officially over. If only I did all that I plan to do. If only. :P. I honestly do not know how to answer that anymore. The rows of salad greens. 3 States,3 d...
