5. People who approach scenic places in their over speeding cars with blaring music. Have mercy on me, I have been trying exactly to escape it by coming to such a far away place. OK, the car is required but can’t I be spared the latest bhangra craze?
4. People who organize parties with loud music till wee hours of night in peaceful places otherwise devoid of any night life. I wish they would stay away from sleepy towns.
3. People who shout their lungs out in restaurants in India, mostly telling everyone how good their last European vacation was. Do us a favor and go there again instead of coming to below your dignity Indian holiday.
2. People who assume I am getting bored because I am sitting quietly and gazing at nothing in particular. Then they offer me to join their musical chair or some such stupid game. Someone once even said “poor girl, how morose she looks,” when in fact I was enjoying the sight of a river and listening to so many birds chirping.
1. People who throw cans, plastic, rappers and tin foils all over the place. They completely freak me out and leave me seething with rage.

Prashanth, you digged up such an old post! So, by any chance do you have a sweet tooth?

This time I was passing through Manali and the amount of litter I saw was mind bogling. And we Indians make so much fuss of keeping our homes clean.Thanks a lot for coming to my blog.
