Landing in Geneva, one is reminded how quick we are to romanticise “the West” and run down our own systems in India.
Geneva is beautiful, efficient in many ways, no doubt. But at the airport? No lifts or elevators where you’d expect them, confusing baggage belts, barely any signage or help.
A lady with crutches had to hobble down the stairs because there was no elevator!
It made me think of our own airports — from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Indira Gandhi International Airport, Rajabhoj International Airport, Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport and Jolly Grant Airport — where navigation, accessibility, and passenger support are so great . Such amazing service and aliveness !
We in India often complain endlessly about how bad things are at home and how “great” “abroad” is. Travel teaches the opposite too: every system has its flaws. And sometimes, back home, we are doing far better than we give ourselves credit for.

@NewsAlgebraIND Not enough. That amount might be an investment factored in by content creators for a reel earning much more. There should be a jail term of six months with suspension of channel.
This 94-year-old former US citizen Kondragunta Mahalakshmamma has one 'last wish' — to die an Indian. A video of her taking the oath of allegiance on June 23 went viral on social media.
