I got it!

Good to know that my India visa had been approved, 2 days after I submitted for processing. Not too bad.

India visa

It is such a hassle to apply for India visa and all nationalities need to apply, regardless. Crap.

They asked you a typical question that is important to Indians, which is - Name of your father. Faint right? Which other country ask you this question. Are they trying to bar the kids of those men who are on their blacklist? Nuts. I am not joking, if you are seeing a resume send in by some Indian candidates and they are applying for a job in your country for the first time, you will see them listing down their father's name in the resume as well, as if the information is needed by me. It wouldn't matter to me even if their father is Gandhi, trust me.

Anyway on top of that, you need to provide 2 references each in your country and also in India, this is more work than writing your resume or applying for a job.

And I am not done yet, when applying you need to submit 2 photos of yourself plus I read somewhere, you need to bring along another 2 photos of yourself when you enter India.....DO I LOOK LIKE I AM GOING THERE FOR MATCHMAKING?

Galapagos Islands

The said islands are so far away from where I am living in but it is nice to see these pictures of wildlife existing in the island to make you really want to visit them, at least once in this lifetime.
