When I first landed in Cairo on the 4th of April 2007, it was a nice feeling! I was away from India for the first time in my life! After the formalities of Immigration, baggage claim, as I walked out of the terminal to get into the cab (I had to wait a little while and borrow a Cop's cell phone to make a local call and find out why the cabbie was not there to pick me up!), it was a wonderful feeling! I was eager to explore this mystic land of mummies and pharaohs. Too bad I was here for work and not tourism!!
Right then and there, I had resolved to maintain a travelogue and blog like crazy and capture the flood of words, thoughts, feelings, impressions, observations, comments for posterity! Unfortunately, fate willed otherwise and I found myself trying to complete yesterday's task by tomorrow and my resolve dissolved!
But then, there comes a time - a moment of truth as it were - when you realize that there will always be work to do and that certain things like living a life and enjoying every moment of it can't wait or be postponed. So here I am blogging away!
Never too late, right? Any way, I still am Curious In Cairo.
