Talk of the town : Terre Rouge – Verdun Link Road
Officially accessible to the public since a few days, the Terre Rouge Verdun Link Road is probably the talk of the town right now. This 24Km long road will definitely be beneficial to those who unnecessarily needed to go through the capital daily. Great job!

Live from Infotech 2013
First of all, let me excuse myself for being in Infotech 2013 right now. I can't stop blaming myself but I had nothing better (or worst to do) since nothing has been planned (not yet at least) for my day off today. So, here is Infotech 2013 in some pictures and words.

Caudan et ses parapluies
Malgré l'air très coloré qu'affichent les photos qui défilent sur Facebook en ce moment, moi, je les vois sous tout un autre angle. On se croirait presque en Agueda dans le Portugal mais sauf que le Caudan a fait installé ces parapluies pour une toute autre raison.

Patrick, shut the heck up!
First of all, my sincere apologies to all the Patricks reading this post. I really thought a lot before using those words in the title. Personally, I think that this person just speaks rubbish while trying to cover up things happening in the country and taking Mauritians for stupids!

Reasons why the new National ID card now scares me!
After watching the YouTube video, I was totally speechless. I never saw the new ID card in this way. I knew that there was going to have a whole load of data collected but Lalit Mauritius clearly goes beyond the official published benefits of having this detailed database of the population.

Guest post – My experience in a court room in Mauritius
