Incredible India

Sorry guys for not updating anything... Time flies, looking at my last post was more than a month ago. As some of you might know that I am not in Singapore. This is my third weekend here. I am in Kalaikunda Air Force Station, West Bengal to be exact. Everybody is confined. The area of travel within the base is only by foot. Thanks to L & SHG, I was given the opportunity to get out of base to run an errand. I hear people telling me the trip outside is dreadful, but I find it an eye opener for me. I need to see things myself before I believe it. "Run down" are the words to describe the vicinities here. It's kind of living in the 80's. Although it is bad, the food & accommodation here was actually better than what I expected. I was thinking that I might be sick throughout the whole detachment, but so far so good, only a little stomach upset.

Daily operations here are going fine for me (at my level), only some "hiccups" with some personnel working among us. The only thing that I can't stand about is, how the decisions are made & how operations run. Totally culture shock. I am not sure if the problem lies with me just being back from the States not long ago or it is the person running the show, but CMK & G have the same operation tempo as me and we see eye level. I guess OYS is neutral. *sigh* Even the ALGs think otherwise of him. This is my 13th overseas flight line detachment, I find the previous & the current are "jokes". Sad case... It's kinda difficult to explain here due to many reasons. No freedom of speech in the democratic society. Strict disclosure on information that are available on Yahoo!, Google, Wikipedia & Youtube. If you ask me. That is how shallow we can get. I am ashamed...

Anyway, I will get the photos uploaded and describe more of India when I get back. The bandwidth here is like the movement of the ice bergs. I am thankful that I am able to login to do a new post. Hey surprisingly there is this option here when I blog, to allow me to type in Hindi (their mother tongue). This is my name केंट यो जोंग जे !

all gone, just like that... 11:38 PM
