Just like heaven

This post is for my brother. I was not with him physically on his last two birthdays. Life seems to be changing quickly. Last year he was not home and this year I was not home. This also happens to be my 50th post. I took few pics in a park in Leicester and I am sure if I manage to force him to see the blog, he will enjoy them. The theme ofcourse is 'Just like Heaven' as nothing according to me can be more beautiful than this.

First experience with UK police

My term is about to end but the firsts continue to happen. I never thought this will be a part of my blog but the truth is different. Met the UK police early in the morning sharp at 10 when I was about to leave home. I was late as usual and did not expect anybody to come at that time forget the police.

They came for some investigation regarding someone. But this post is not on the reason of investigation. It is about my experience with the police men. They were four of them out of which one was a middle aged man in crisp uniform. The other three were all young good looking hunks in white Tee and jeans. I hope Delhi Police sends its official team to UK for a research on why police men here are so handsome and not in Delhi.

On the other hand I think if police men were good looking in India then women drivers would make more mistakes to seek attention from traffic police and it will be worth getting into a conversation with them.

Living alone is fun !

Home sweet home. This feels mine as I am never forced to clean it.

My dressing table.

This sofa is hardly used for sitting.

Kaju katli from India given by a friend and I hated sharing it with friends.

First Gurudwara visit in UK

This was one one of the first suggestions I got from an experienced person, that I must find out the local gurudwara as Sikh community is friendly. But it took me good seven months to do so. This visit was planned within seconds with a group of friends. All of us were excited for the langar(food prasad).

Leicester Gurudwara was very peaceful, just like gurudwaras in India there was an old man saying gurbani on the mike and a lady to distribute Kada(sweet prasad). After sitting there for few minutes it felt that I was home. It also reminded me of college days where I used to go to college gurudwara and sit there for sometime. The visit used be very voluntary, sometimes with complaints and sometimes with no reasons at all.

Then came the best bit of our gurudwara visit i.e langar. All of us had stars in our eyes with a plate full of proper Indian food. Five of us were eating, enjoying and thinking. I don't know what others were thinking but I was thinking what I eat these days is not upto the mark and suddenly I had tears in my eyes. I missed home, my family and also my bestest friend with whom I used to go to gurudwara for an outing followed by an ice-cream session at India Gate.

Is customer the prey?

This is what I call price war at its best. UK's retail market cant get worst than this. There are four major retail super markets. Tesco leads in this race and has maximum market share. This pic was taken in Sainsbury's which stands third in this race after Asda.

Take a look at the offer, I guess this is what the company does to lure customers when they have nothing else to offer.
