I spent a lot of time there working on an Indian -Russian project. The first place I was to see was Mumbai. It was right in the middle of the Rain season. I can remember myself standing for five hours at the arrival gate at the airport. The people whom I expected to meet me did not show up. Later I found out they did not even know about my arrival. Soon an indian policeman approached and started inquiring what I was about to looking with a jaundiced eye at my old military bag. Only a few days before that a bomb went off in Delhi at a railway station taking 200 lives with it. The first thing that shocked me was a chaotic mass of three-wheeled motor vehicles which seemed to be moving more like bees inn a hive and the sounds of horns flowed like one endless river piercing my brain. The policeman put me on board of some japanese vehicle that looked like a dwarfed bus. It took me to the hotel. Now I was completely lost in a city with a 20-million population. I searched for telephone codes all day and I was able at last to find my men. They stayed in Belapur -a version of New-Mumbai. Now It only remained to find me by the name of the hotel I happened to stay in because the street it was located in had no proper name… The next episode I recollect is Delhi, the capital. I just bought myself a Honda motorbike and was testing it after my duties ended in the evenings. At first it seemed impossible to understand these new traffick “rules” especially when I found there were none. The road is glittering with taillights it is a new road and it is wonderful, I feel absolutely free. The next moment I hear the sound of brakes somewhere behind me, the speed is 95. A thump the road is somehow on my left side and I can see the road kerb approaching my head at the speed I never felt before. Another thump. I am concerned about my bike. I am pissed. A car lands on it’s side some forty centimeters from me. I am standing on my feet examining the bike. I feel dizzy suddenly. I begin to realize that a part of my arm is gone the asfalt is like a grater with a red track on it some fifty meters long. A crowd is gathering. Time to get lost for good. I approach the car behind me, but the driver is blocked inside. His luck. He seems in a stupor still chewing some kind of a light drug. I am beginning to realize I had no helmet.

What are they like? There is somehow more joyous energy in them than in any people I had met before. Some passion for life unknown to us. A many -coloured many-headed god with many friends like himself. And they talk to Him, they feed Him, so He is a real being.They have got so many lives, they do not fear death. I saw many scenes like motorbike vs old crazy truck.Once on a gunnery range a small armoured truck fell into the river. It sank fast. Everybody jumped to help the driver out. When they finally got him, he was full of indignation, he said: what the ***ck did you do it for, a new better life was coming….And there is one more thing about them – a subtle scent, a forgotten knowledge of mighty Gods that once walked on that land.

All this arguing against “First!” comments makes it sound like some posters here got their panties in a wad because they didn’t find the article early enough to get the “First!” =)

I’m fairly new here, trying to back-read on all these cool articles. And as to what Grumpygeezer said, I agree….It isn’t necessary to write a note in front of each re-post saying that it is. What matters is that the article is DI, which they always are. Keep up the good work!

Everybody bow down before my superior typing skil;ls!! By being first, I have PROVEN that I am Lord and Master over all other posters, including those who have something intelllignet to say. One day my name will rank with those of Bill Gates and other computer greats of all history!! I would have been the first post on the previous entry, but I had to go all the way down to the kitchen to get my Hot Pockets out of the microwave, all because my stupid mom wont let me keep a microwave in my room. Plus shes always screaming at me to get a job. I know this isn’t the kind of stuff that would look good on a resume, but hell people live to be a hundred or so these days, so I’ve got plenty of time to kick-start my career whenever I want to, cause I’m like thirty-two right now, okay? You gotta have priorities, right?, and right now mine is sitting at the computer twenty-four hours a day proving with just one little word how superior I am to those who take their time to form actual thoughts before sending them out over the internet. I AM GOD!!!!!!

That made me laugh so hard, I had tea coming out my nose! I actually know someone like that! D&D is his life, he still lives at home at age 33, and his mother does his laundry. She doesn’t clean his room only because he won’t let her. He’s someone who really is dead inside.

I would just like to make a personal comment to Alan (website founder & developer) to please stop making those regular excuses being posted with each article that has been previously displayed. I for one have not read all the articles since the onset of Damn Interesting and just because they might not be “current” does not make them any less interesting and enjoyable to read. It’s beginning to sound like you’re suffering from a major insecurity problem, and I am sure all the other readers along with myself are very much aware that you are providing us with an excellent website and doing the best you possibly can to keep it fresh and up-to-date.

As for this:

Doesn’t double jeopardy only apply to the same crime? I think if he was convicted of killing his wife, then got out and killed her, it would be a seperate crime. Since it happened after he was convicted. For example, if someone was convicted of stealing something, whether or not they had, they would still be able to be tried if they stole it agan after getting out of prison. I’m not thatsure, it would be an interesting topic to research. I agree that this would make a good found article.”

about double jeopardy: the idea is that a person should be punished for a crime only once. in this case, the crime is ‘murdering mrs x’, for which he was tried, convicted and punished. now, he cannot be tried again for ‘murdering mrs x’, even if he actually does murder x later on. but he could be tried again if he had not been convicted first time and let off; in fact the indian penal code specifically provides that if someone is convicted and sentenced to death due to a witness’ false testimony, and executed, that witness SHALL BE punished with death! though i do not know any such cases so far.
