The Malaysian Fantasy


I have always wanted and dreamt of travelling abroad. To be very frank with my kind of education and background I never imagined I could travel outside India. Well I have been always that pessimist kind a person , who thinks everyone else is better than thyself. But yes , thanks to the stars and my benevolent boss , I got this opportunity to travel outside India and I am now kind of settling down in this country called " Truly Asia".


This place again as usual is making me learn and its learning par excellence. Like all people who likes to travel like me , would definitely agree , every place brings with it the flavour, spice and the colors. Its a learning , that no matter whereever you go, you try to tag along to your root and no wonder I took a place which is more of Indian than any other country. Though it reperesents more of the southern part of India, but still you feel it India.


The very strangest part here is , all people here including Indian origins , has a strange lind of mystry attached with India. It seems to them India means Chennai and Bangalore and most of them have never heard or gone beyond that. While I am learning here , I making them learn about India , and its varied culture and colors and guess what , they are more than keen to visit the INDIA that we know of.


Moving around here there , I wonder , how such smal country rather an Island , could become so advanced , even population could be very few hundreds , may be not even 2-3 states taking together.....well they have learned to live king size, they do not fight , and if they fight , they fight for each other and not against each other.


This much for now , njoy Nasi Lemak , Bee Hoon and Sotong and Udang Rice......this place is getting into me.....LOVE IT !!!!
