Allahabad

Allahabad is an awesome city, (only if your heart beats at 10 beats an hour and you can wait an eternity).
Things just change on the road. Its just the opposite. Bicycles, Bikes, tempos, suaars and cars coming in all directions. Cycle guys drive faster than Lance Armstrong, rushing past the crossroads as if they are driving a Hummer H3. Invincible. But that's just the roads.
For an impatient person like me, who cant wait more than 3 secs for a reply, Allahabad is teaching me a lot. People sludge towards their desks, like a teenage tortoise who just had a knee-replacement surgery; Confused whether he should make the first move or the table will reciprocate.
All that is results now is that I come to office at 10 AM and return back home by 7 PM. Very lenient timings. Difficult to adapt to, if you have been working 15 hrs in Mumbai.

But this is the good part.
The bad part begins when i reach back at my hotel; btw i'm staying in a hotel for my 3 months, till the time i'm here, only because 1. I was too lazy 2. Who would discover a mattress in this city/town/village 3. I was too lazy.
However, only Music Bhojpuri, India TV and News 24 make my day. They make me laugh. A lot.

A few examples.
