Mylapore to Paris...

I had many of my friends share their version of Paris before I boarded the flight. Here is present my version of Paris (not Parrys) all from the eyes of a Mylaporean.... The Paris that was ruled by Napoleon Bonaparte.

Welcome to Paris 1: They said take a bus from “Shaelysee", I asked them to slow down and repeat. I couldn’t figure out a word, then I go back to the map searching for the big avenue and I guessed it should be "Avenue Champ Elysees". But why do these guys in a hurry, eat alphabets and ridiculously make them into one word!


Welcome to Paris 2: Beautiful women but with cigarettes in their hand. What an ashtray mouth!

Welcome to Paris 3: When you walk on the streets you are bothered more by cigarette smoke than exhaust fumes. Paris is all about Espresso and Tobacco!

Welcome to Paris 4: There is a strike in Paris today, busses and trains are not operating. Feels like Kolkotta!

Welcome to Paris 5: 95% of Paris is clad in a suit and only tourist wear normal clothes.

Welcome to Paris 6: They take you out for lunch/dinner, but then expect you to pay for your portion and some even sheepishly smile asking you to pay for their meal.

Welcome to Paris 7: People take their dogs for a walk, but don’t pick up the poop. Should we call them French, dogs or French dogs?

Welcome to Paris 8: There are beggars, there is graffiti on the walls, people throw cig butts on the street and jump red lights. Rich nation and poor nation are just the same!

Welcome to Paris 9: They are fair, they smell good, but no one knows when was the last time they had a bath. Yes they buy more perfume than soap. No wonder bathrooms have not bathtubs but just stalls to hose down and huge shelf space for perfumes.

Welcome to Paris 10: They say Love is in Air and it is a city for loveras, but still I havent seen one expressing love in public. Monalisa is smiling at Louvre!

Welcome to Paris 11: It is my day 5 in Paris - no french toast, french wine, french fries or french kiss. I was just with my VIP Frenchie!

Welcome to Paris 12: Before a meal they say Bonapetit and I looked around to see who is that? Bonapetit like Bonepart?

I have a few more days in Paris and let me see how amusing it can get! BTW, Im going on a pic shoot this afternoon and will share what my lens captures.
