Met up with Uncle Mano and Angela finally in his apartment and started talking non-stop till it's time for dinner. You see, Uncle Mano's stomach was not feeling very well the whole day yesterday. But he insisted that he wanted to take us to this authenthic Indian restaurant which is in Brickfields for dinner just like what he had told me on the phone the other day even though there is not much of food that he can consume because most of them are spicy.
So, we went there in his car and went through the jams as it was after school and we finally reached that place. I had a Rava Tosei and weed Putu Mayam with mutton and last but not least, my favourite RASAM!! I tell you, that was the best mutton and rasam I've ever tasted. All thanks to Angela who recommended the mutton and also the rasam. By the way, she is also a "rasam drinker" like me. LOVE IT MAN!
I can tell you that going to Saravanan Bhavan was a mistake and it's a waste of MONEY. Like what Uncle Mano and Angela said, "You are paying for their rental". Very true indeed.
So we continue talking about the Northern Indian's culture and their food and food and MORE FOOD!!
After that, we went back to Uncle Mano's apartment for more catch ups because it's been ages since I've last saw him. Went on with updates in his life, and he told me that he had been doing loadsa travel such as to the Alps and stayed in the tent and all, Sahara desert, Santa Lucia (if I'm not mistaken), Morocco, Paris and more. I just can't keep up with those places. It's too much to take in at one time. Then, they wanted to climb the Great Wall but now they are planning to go to Bhutan, one of the world's most happiest place. You can google it yourself. *Bhutan-Hapiness*
Yes, this is exactly what Uncle Mano and Angela did...AWESOME!
Bhutan's happiness formula
*btw, Uncle Mano told me that Angela will be climbing mountains like this ALONE in Bhutan...BRAVO*
The remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is the only country in the world which puts happiness at the heart of government policy.
The government must consider every policy for its impact not only on Gross Domestic Product, but also on GNH: "Gross National Happiness".
The politics of happiness has led Bhutan to make very different decisions from countries simply searching for wealth.
The capital, Thimpu, is remarkable for its lack of advertising. In an attempt to hold back consumerism the city council recently banned hoardings promoting Coke and Pepsi.
Bhutan was the last nation in the world to introduce television in 1999. Recently they banned a number of channels including international wrestling and MTV, which they felt did little to promote happiness.
Bhutan has even banned plastic bags and tobacco on the grounds that they make the country less happy.
The one set of traffic lights Bhutan ever had was on this junction. But people found them frustrating, so they went back to a human being.
Buddhist prayer flags flutter in the wind. In Bhutan the government puts inner spiritual development on a par with material improvement.
One of the pillars of Bhutan's happiness philosophy is care for the environment. Strict conservation laws are aimed at achieving sustainable development.
Development has been moderated and people are less well off financially than they could have been.
Bhutan has been able to adopt radical policies partly because it is a remote kingdom and partly because it is an absolute monarchy.
