Instructions in our office travel guide

I came across this a long time ago. In our travel guide to India for our foreign visitors, there is a section which I found very funny. I thought of blogging it just now. This seems to be an excerpt from the 'Visiting India for Dummies' book.

Well you landed in Mumbai, now what

1. First walk out of the terminal, you’ll see a number of people waiting to receive someone or the other
2. Start looking for a person holding a board with your name on it
a) if you are booked at a hotel in Mumbai, this person will be there from the hotel to pick you up. You should then have someone pick you up for your Pune travel the next day (mentioned in step 1.d.iv above)
b) if you are to directly go to Pune, this person will be your driver (arranged by XYZ) to take you to Pune (mentioned in step 1.d.iv above)
3. Your first day at Pune office – you should plan to come to office not before 10 am.
...


Traffic patterns in Pune – don’t get shocked to surprised to see this, it’s a way of life (or rather driving) – chaotic but still working
