London gave an impression of a poor man's metropolis compared to the posh or rich man's look of Paris Metropolis though both had the Colonizing Power Baggage as the Blot on their outward Polished Face!

It was prompt and powerful intervention by Professor Panigel that prevented the possibility of being sent back to Paris by British Border Patrol agents at Calais Port terminal & nearly dashed my dream of my much anticipated lecture at Queen Charlotte Hospital in London too

Professor Panigel revealed the intricacies of long standing friction between England and France and how international media and vested interests controlling media and loud-speakers can mislead millions and millions of world citizens to believe that a lie repeated hundred times can become truth of Fake History!

Professor Panigel proved himself to be an expert and even adventurous driver despite being in his late fifties and his wit and persistent queries relating to ills of India kept me on tenterhooks most of the time as a co-traveller too!

I had been dreaming for many years that I should check what traits englishmen may have that made millions and millions of indians felt mesmerized and subjugated for over 200 Years & surrendered meekly and allowed the loot of trillions& trillions of dollars of our wealth& sacrificing lives of millions without even semblance of a struggle or fight?

We concluded the visit to Amsterdam by paying a visit to Windmill village and returned from Amsterdam trip with the conviction that for saving humanity from extinction due to environmental pollution ill-effects, use of fossil fuels like petroleum products must be reduced to a minimum or stopped forever!

The invitation from two of our friends for a visit to so-called red light area Zeejik was turned down by 3 of our group members fearing unexpected mugging threat or other unpleasant events!

No visit to Amsterdam can be complete without visits to Royal Palace, Anne Frank House & Rembrandt Museum &they can be labelled as Major Tourist magnets!

Boat Ride in Amsterdam canals is a must do item for every visitor to this Metropolis, though the monotonous architectural style of the buildings lining the canals can be judged by some at least as Eye-Sore!

It was indeed painful to realize that the so-called beautiful city of Amsterdam and its people had to be victims of religious bigotry and had its share of being victims of egoes and lust for power of vested interests for hundreds of years!
