Before you dive into the pictures, here's a lil tidbit about the city! "It’s the largest city in Africa, with wall-to-wall people, bumper-to-bumper cars. The city takes its name from the Portuguese for lagoon, and has been a Yoruba port, a British political centre and until 1991, Nigeria’s capital. It...

It has been a long time since I updated my blog about anything and it might come as a surprise to you that I am updating it from Nigeria. I came here last Sunday and will be here for another 11 weeks. The journey so far has been pleasing and I am hoping it will continue to be the same for next few weeks and months. Thanks to my organization, I’m living in Lagos (Pronounced as Lay-gos by people out here) and in one of the posh localities of the city. What strikes...

Before my comment section is taken over by spammers and before that poor thing surrenders into submission, I have decided to stage a comeback and kick them out!You read it right! I am back! Tonnes and tonnes of work in office took me away from blogging and I somehow never made an attempt to come back after that.My comeback news may not be as exciting as Michael Schumacher's comeback to Formula-1 but I am sure it will be more exciting than India's test series in Bangladesh...
