Air travel was the only open route from Chandigarh to Delhi the last couple of days because of the Jat agitation. So airline companies decided to fleece desperate travelers and jacked up the ticket prices. Normal economy airfare from Chandigarh to Delhi is INR 5000-7000, that went up to INR 27000 (reported in the article above) to a whopping INR 99000 for a Jet Airways business class. Worse than vultures.

I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then.
I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile!
A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit).
I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog.
I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly.
I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.
shameful!

It was the same during the Chennai floods, man. When the airport got shut too, taxi drivers ruled the roost with exorbitant prices!

Unfortunately, this is capitalism doing what it does best.

They’re pretty shameless about it too. “No reason to hike the fares, but we did.”
