So yours truly started thinking of his five favorite locations last night. Without further ado they are -
1. Delhi, New Delhi - I guess you can take the Punjabi out of Delhi but you can't take Delhi out of the Punjabi. No trip complete without a visit to my favorite tandoori chicken place in CP.
2. Kolkata - big city with a small village feeling. Some place where you can still eat a meal for 5 rupees.
3. Digha - The most beautiful seashore in the world. For those who don't know this place, its 250 km from Kolkata.
4. Konarak - The scale of the sun temple. The drive to Konarak from Bhubaneshwar. Amazing.
5. Santa Cruz - What a drive from San Jose. Nice vistas, nice boardwalk. Good food.
The 5 worst places (in decreasing degrees of shittiness)-
1. Pilani - You have never seen a turd-town till you see Pilani. 50C in summer and -5 C in winter. Locust swarms in spring.
2. Fontainebleau - How much Turkish kebabs can one man eat in a year?
3. San Jose - Amrikan equivalent of Pimpri-Chinchiwad. Get the idea?
4. Bangalore - Damp weather. Perpetual sore throats. Water that makes you go bald. Traffic and crime to beat any place. Unfriendly and annoying people.
5. St. George, Utah - The only place hotter than Pilani. And, with no alcohol.

I thought one of your favourite places has to be Joo Chiat where you can listen to lovely jazz music.
Neel,
This list is PG-rated. If you need the R-rated list, I can mail it to you :-)
