I found this message in Oberoi Hotels in Mumbai - "Tips is optional. We do not levy any service charge for the same".
The day might not be far, when we may have to shell out a 10% service charge and a 12.5% VAT on the TIPS which we give to the bearers in the hotels..
Strange are our ways when we bargain with the auto walas and the vegetable vendors but do not mind letting out a nice sum as a tip in these hotels where the price of anything is already suffixed with a couple of additional zeros..

Its good to be back
Back in the ring after a gap of slightly more than a year. From the first impressions of the workplace it seems to be living up to its expectations. Hope it continues..
Delhi... Yet to explore the city. But i got to see and experience extreme heat, rain, a cold night and a mini sandstorm.... all in a single day. The house hunt ended positively in an extremely short span of time - Half a day.
Reading and enjoying the blogs of many of the present batch of students at ISB... A dry smile crosses my lips when I think that I no longer need to start a mind numbing assignment or start reading an epic-long case study on a Sunday morning nor will my bank account continue to bleed a slow death.
Its good to be back.
