What an insightful read! I never knew that this term was extensively used in this manner whether in employment or politics! We learn everyday! Thanks for sharing your experience
Your travelogue on Puerto Rico reminded me of my own trip and experience there in 2013. IMO, that place has one of the most arrogant lot even in their poverty. It was harrowing for us to try and make the ferry to their islands, La Culebra, and Vieques even after we showed up early in the morning to join the line. Turned out that it’s all a tie up with taxis so you got to take a taxi from your hotel to the ferry dock and then you get the ferry ride as part of the package. We had rented a car and work clueless about this ‘nice’ arrangement.
The revolving door reminds me of a literal experience that I can never forget. My company in India had sent me to the US and every weekend I travelled with my colleagues with overnight bag to visit some of the big cities. One weekend we visited NYC and of course went to visit the twin towers ( WTC that fell in September 2011 ). At the revolving door, I hastily stepped in with my overnight bag, along with a tall, white American and needless to say my bag caused the door to get stuck for a moment. I can never forget the dirty look the white American guy gave me! So much for my ‘ghusao’ Indian mentality. Hahaha
Sorry if my comment is almost as long as yours today :)
Your comments on the ticks played by taxi operators is in contrast to.the experience we had. That may be because we did not take the tour that you mention.
The bag getting stuck in the revolving door was quite hilarious.
Excellent Pras.
Always looking forward for your FC posts and I prefer a SUNDAY to enjoy the brew. Keep it up
Thank you Bharat. You have made my day a good one:)

Amazingly written and so informative- Especially the revolving doorwhich I loved using at the World Trade Centre in New York!!
I dread using a similar one now as age progresses anything revolving or revealing is anathema!!!!!
Continue your splendid holiday but keep regaling us with your magical brew, Pras.
Very interesting to read
