Days in England

England has been my home for the past nine months. I arrived at a time when the winter was just setting in and coming from hot and humid Mumbai boy was I in for a surprise. With the constantly decreasing temperatures and the chilling winds;
Walking home from work one day I guess I finally truly understood the meaning of the often read phrase "It was a cold windy night".

The first town I saw in England after settling in at the apartment was a place on the way to the city. With movies being my only window to the western world i expected to see skyscrapers bustling streets but no Lo and behold before my eyes I see a purely Asian town with sign boards in Asian languages people roaming around in traditional Asian attire. I pinched my self in disbelief but there it was in front of my eyes. Could this really be true? But it actually was. The immigrant population has indeed grown at such a rapid phase .With no moderation being exercised in the past England is facing this huge migrant crisis today which is practically dividing the country and inciting increasing violence. I finally made to the city center and there my movie world lay before my eyes :).

The beautiful English country side is indeed a haven for nature lovers. The castles the museums the beaches the pubs the clubs :) there are loads of things one can do here with your only enemy being the merry old English weather or should I say depressing. It will be bright and sunny in the morning and before you know it would have started pouring in the evening and you think you have had enough bad weather for one day roll over the evening and ta da the chilly cold wind greets you .Talk about unpredictability :)

I met my college friends Nikhil and Cliff here in England after a really long time and we did have some fun weekend outings. Cliff defeating us in record times at the pool games at Riley’s became a tradition the guy used to literally tear us apart. But the actual fun came watching Cliff when Nikhil and I played against each other, the games used to never end, I for one am horrible at pool and used to hit the worst shots :) Cliff was left literally pulling his hair out.

Home is home after all :) and I am waiting to return to India
