In 2009, my son and I were watching Travel and Living channel.
It was a Samantha Brown hosted program where she had taken us to a Greek coastal town.
It all looked great until she mentioned hotel tariffs in Euros €.
It was an ugly figure when converted into INR.
My son and I immediately looked at each other and started laughing. The reason being who would go to that 'stupid' place when one could go to Goa or any number of Indian beaches, in winter, for fraction of that cost.
The joke sadly has turned out to be on Greece.
When Greek beaches become affordable to touring Indians, I will conclude that they are out of the financial mess.
p.s. On May 7 1945, exactly 65 years ago, Germany signed the first instrument of surrender in WWII.
Today it is back at the helm of Europe. The whole of Europe, indeed the world, is looking towards it to rescue Greece.
History is cyclical!
