My Easter break

The title looks like a topic for an essay in school but this break indeed was very special. Memories of the last two weeks will remain with me for all my life. I did everything that I never thought I will. This included a lot of unexpected travelling, friends, conversations, including a visit to a CASINO. I dint play due to lack of courage and my lady friend won a decent 100 pounds after loosing few hundreds of pounds.

15.03.08

First visit was a short yet sweet visit to Birmingham. This came as a bit of surprise to me when a friend called to find out if I would like to join her and her friends. I had nothing to do so I thought why refuse fun. We did not go to any popular place there but to a shopping mall. Since we were three girls in a group of four it was good fun spending money in clothes and Indian snacks. This was followed by my first Casino visit.

16.03.08

Next visit was to Oxford. This place is known for its world class universities. This trip was also with the Birmingham group and we were only keen on finding another casino in the city instead of its beautiful British architecture. And thankfully we dint get one there which helped me return home in time.

19.03.08

This was my usual trip to Bristol to meet friends.

22.03.08

Then came a long weekend and all enthusiastic friends wanted to do something. We planned and planned and planned and finally planned not to do anything at all because of bad weather forecast, travelling, distance etc. etc. This day also happened to be Holi and so we planned to eat Indian delicacies at home. But an early morning call from a friend changed the entire plan upside down and we did get out of quilts on a cold sunny cloudy windy rainy day. I will never regret this decision as I got to visit Stonehenge and Bournemouth on the same day. Weather played an important role in all the fun. It was damn windy in Stonehenge. If I was few kilos lighter in weight I could actually fly on that day. Then faced hail storm on our way to Bournemouth. It was sunny again when we reached Bournemouth could actually see the reflections of clouds in the sea and it snowed in the evening.

27.03.08- 28.03.08

This was a fantastic trip and was as unexpected as others were. Went to the land of tennis Wimbledon via London city. Spent few very beautiful moments on Thames. Next day was wet and windy and it also was the day to see Wimbledon courts. Somehow we managed to reach the courts only to find out that the centre court was being renovated. Could not see the courts but still I can proudly say that I have been to Wimbledon.

Now at the end of my vacation I feel like a school child who left all the work during the break for the end. I had my share of fun, fights, games, trips and food. But the end has to come so its time to get back to individual reports and group presentations.

I think...

I need to grow up !

Orkut 1010

As the title suggests this post is about my Orkut profile which has 1,010 scraps now. This post was supposed to come on 1000th scrap but I was caught with exams and assignments. Also, I was thinking who will write the 1000th scrap for me when I had 999 scraps. But it did not take much time for the suspense to die as two full fledged convos happened on Orkut itself.


This may not mean anything at all to some people but it does mean quite a bit to me and reminds me of my best friend who kept on sending invitations to me to make an account unless I made one. Initially she was my only friend and then another friend found me somehow. Through these two friends I found and made more friends, people found me and the stories goes on till date.


In all this while I have checked people's profile randomly, also checked profiles of people I don’t like much, got random scraps from Orkut majnus saying 'will u be my frand' and 'u r butifool'. Also, met few very good and old friends through Orkut. It is so much a part of our lives that instead of exchanging phone numbers, people say, don’t worry I will find you on Orkut. Wishing on festivals and remembering birth dates have become much easier.


Are u still wondering why a post on Orkut...Well the reason is that I happened to be a part of a group which was recommending Orkut to a friend who was very reluctant to make an account but agreed to us when he found out that there will be girls from all over the world. That is what orkutting is all about.

Dont worry...I am good

This pic is for family, friends and their families that I am taking good care of myself and eat healthy food most of the times. Thank you for caring and asking about food even before finding out how I am...

I love Anne J. Broderick...

...coz of her attitude towards work. Anne is my Markets and Marketing course tutor and working with her can be extremely interesting and frustrating. It can be very annoying to have a class after exam but not if its Ms. Broderick's. She puts in her best effort in everything and so a revision class before the exam of her subject was important.

She arranged for an extra class right after an exam. In this very class she was 15 minutes late which is very unlike her. She looked quite upset in the beginning of the class with god knows what. But she is so enthusiastic about her subject and teaching that after first 15 minutes of the lecture she was cool, smiling, cracking jokes and was enjoying herself.

But what makes her enjoy all this... was the question that came to my head. Most of the students were sleeping in the class, and the body language of the rest was clearly begging for mercy after sleepless nights due to the exam. But Anne is Anne. She works very hard and expects the students to do the same. And that is the complaint point of all the students. She made our lives hell because of reports and is very well aware that tutors never get the credit for anything good. Given all that she chooses to do her best, and probably that makes her the person with the right attitude. :)

Party time...

Sorry it's exam time and I don't feel like studying :)

Today another landmark has been achieved. Appeared for the first exam in UK , also my first exam in track pants since I was up all night in library and went straight to the examination centre from there. Sometimes life can get funny :)
