The cruise.... Too excited to go on a cruise, we three musketeers reached the spot 4 hours before the departure time. Unfortunately, even the cruise was late that  night. Whatever might be the case, it was worth the wait. It was the first time in our life, we had dined, partied and slept (of course individually) on a ship. 24 hours later, we were heading towards the train station to our very next destination, “The Eternal City”, Rome.

A very famous Bollywood movie starts with the line, "My Name is Khan and I’m not a terrorist” shows a very important fact that your name does matter in deciding what people think of you. I was, as a matter of fact was also a minor victim in this case. While at the Delhi Airport when I was leaving for Warsaw, Poland, the guy at the immigration counter checked and rechecked my passport.
