What not to do in Mumbai

Last week I picked my favorites to do’s in Mumbai from this list. Now we have a what not to do list here. So here is my favorite not to do list

• Avoid Taxis outside Dadar & Kurla stations all are chors.
• Call a cop ‘Pandu’
• Avoid asking the Sandwich wallah on Dalal Street for market tips
• Bribe a Porter to grab a seat in V.T, chances are he might run off with your money and even beat you.
• Wear nice footwear to SiddiVinayak or Mahalakshmi Temple
• Give 100 bucks to a conductor and expect him to give you change, he will sadistically torment you till the last stop
• Ask for extra chutney and sambhar in Udupi hotels.

Good things happen where you don't expect results

On Dec 24th I randomly shared(fwded) a bunch of photos titled Creativity at its best ( i dont know the owner of these pics )  on My Posterous. By the way if you dont know what Posteorus is read here.

Posterous is a place where I generally share all the photos I randomly click on my Nokia E71 , forwards i come across in mails etc. I mainly use this because it supports Auto post to twitter.

So coming to the topic, generally i dont expect any traction to whatever I post on this and all my efforts are on promoting current blog and get page views here. This post Creativity at its best is also posted in the same way on posteorus.

But a day after I noticed that this post has whopping 51760 page views , 21 comments and its on Stumble upon, reddit 

All these on a blog I don't even expect a page view.
