Maputo mania!!

Its my 34th day here in Maputo

But, It seems like 340 days since I've been here.

Especially when I was supposed to travel back to Bangalore on 14th.
Shit happens!!

The plan changed at the last moment and my stay was extended till 23rd, as of now.:D

I was precisely 4 hours away from the flight when I was informed about the change in plans. Damn it!

Anyways, I have got used to things like these now. Thats the best thing to do. If you can’t change any particular part of your life, however hard you try, then just get used to it. :D

Maputo isn’t too bad a place to live in. Pretty good, I must say. The streets are not deserted like the ones in Johannesburg. There is no general hysteria about civic safety as there haven’t been any incidents too often in recent times.






The hotel I stay at, is about 100-150 meters from the seashore. The vast, never ending coa
st line of Indian Ocean stares into my eyes whenever I look at it.






I h
aven’t had much time to go out anywhere. Had been to a Jazz concert few weeks ago and then went to two Indian restaurants. :D And also took astroll along the shore , sometime ago.That’s the local sight-seeing I’ve done so far.






The last 3 months have been very demanding and stressful, professionally. I hardly remember a non-work related event in this period. Hang on, I do remember. I used to sleep for 6-7 hours every day/night (based on when I decided to sleep)




Hopefully, this slog-fest is gonna see an end sometime soon!


It could be a serene period for few months after that or may be another hell-ride!!


I’ll keep you all posted. :D
