Life@europe

Hi

So second continent to be visited by me is Europe...
And best thing is that I am here on a work permit. :D

How I wish I am able to locate a accomodation for myself... But looks like it will take some time.

Well i must say i was totally unattached when i was flying for US but this time i dont knw why i felt something was being left behind. I dont know why but I did not feel like coming here in Europe....

I was feeling like i m leaving something when i was leaving Blore.

And yes, bad luck as far as m concerned was evident with missing of flight and immediate rebooking for coming to CHD. Its another fact that i was before time for my flight. I am not sure if it happened for good or bad... but it seems like bad... could b it was for my good.. After that, honestly, i did not shop much. I was plain lazy in doing my work.
Waise bhe 20 Kg main kaunse teer maar lene the maine....
Waise mera phone itna bajta hai, par iss baar calls e nahin aa rahe the.. country chodh rahi hun, par lagta nahin kisi ko fark padta hai....kisi ko bhe....family to meri theek he thi....

Well, honestly i was excited to fly for europe, after i started for delhi... Man, finally i realised, its time i'll fly for europe.. A new place.. one of the dreams we have, when we join IT industry :P

Ya, why I was not happy previously? Come on, you are single.. So no strings attached.. Girl have fun!!! once you are woman, there will be hell lot of strings attached...
Well before staring for Europe, first time ever my frds were suggesting me to go n try Alcohol.. Am sure they have lost thier senses. I am in full control... God knows what I will do there, becoz all my new team mates drink..Infact it's european culture..

bas bhagwan na kare ki mera dimag kharab ho.
Delhi Airport rocks.. i liked it, It was small but well built,,, Where in the world do u see prayer room in the International airport? ya, Duty free shops are beyond my pocket, So I just clicked pics. Initaially I had tough time thinking how to accomodate my luggage. Limit is 20 Kg..Mine was ard 27. Girl at check in counter was hot and nice.. rare combination :D

Well I actually liked european families.Contrary to my belief, people love thier family here.
And I was idiot who forgot to take her apartment address as well as room number along with PIN required to enter the apartments.. My colleague was scolding me nicely.

Room was good . It was raining. My new team mate had told me that it doesnt rain here.. so that was first prank i discovered....
So first night was with maggie and Lemon Tea...

Well first day to office and i discovered another prank. A pic was sent to me about team members... But 4 names were incorrectly assigned. I actually wasnt convinced for firsts 2 hrs about who is LUC and who is Sanders... good for filip that he was on vacation after playing this prank :-X
I really liked my DELL LATITUDE E6410..Wow..............
Well Pizza was really bad.... I just couldnt eat and imagine, one of my fellow colleague was fooling me that beer isnt alcohol (they were drinking Duuel - Strong beer)
Shopping was totally different experience. Everything was in french and I know only English. Some how I picked stuff based on images.Pragya helped me in it.
Second day too I shopped but it was with Ishan. This time i dont know why i was missing something a lot at night and third day was email that my mom had called my frd by mistake. It was a missed call. I choose not to clarify nything becoz wrong call is pretty common.
Pragya came to my room on Wed and she was laughing a lot at my soft toy. I dont think its origins were questioned so I told that it came in my backpack.Simple ans.... Well Y to tell her that I sleep with it :D
Well for your background, my soft toy is a puppy. I am not aware about breed and stuff...Anyway it is a lovely gift. And I love it :)
On fourth day we have allocated to a new office and it will be far from old office : commute + place is office area. I am really bored as there is nothing much to do here adn still i have to sit in office and do some time pass.. Am sure by number of blogs u see for today's date, it will be an easy guess!!! I hope this day gets over... I feel hungry all the time in europe.. I swear. its like i never ate in years!!!

After long time i am in cold place.... i have missed winters a lot in blore!!!!

Life@USA

Well the most complicated and the best thing.... is our life..

It shows us so much and teaches us so much....

So many ups and downs and i till date dont know if it was bad or good... If we ever see... in long term we do remember that all sudden bad times were actaully a blessing in disguise.. they taught us valuable lessons.

Regarding my life.. I dont know what should be told and what should be kept secret. It had it's own Ups and downs..Even today, I am confused...

Well to begin with, I had many dreams..... So many will never b fulfilled on time...And many were ful filled. What I do realise is that with passage of time I have become a pessimistic person. I no longer relish the positives in my life...But keep on being bothered by something small insignificant I could not achieve. For eg . I got chance to go for My first abroad Trip , That to USA...Still I was depressed that it wasnt on time and people were not ready to send me.. Man who cares.. I was able to go and others werent.....
Most people feel lonely when they are in a new place... I was in totally new place, infact a different continent altogether, and I never felt alone.. thanks to wonderful friends I have... Y did I not thank my stars for these wonderful people in my life and bother about what my colleagues might think or feel...

how long will office colleagues last.. these friends are for years ... and will stay... jobs may come and go...

I realised in USA how rich indian culture is and how strong relationships are in India. The fact is v take our family for granted, their love for granted... we take loyality of our partner for granted...Come to US..U have Money , independance..but where is the richness of family values? where is love? They sleep together but there is no trust on each other.. man... Nonsens

you may /may not even have both parents taking care of you... Imagine being without single parent for some time in your child hood, here kids have childhood with single parent.

People say that Americans are rude and stuff, but if you observe closely, they are very helping people, only thing is that they need their personal space which people in india will never understand......After all whats life without masala news / gossip :P

There is one thing I love in US : Cheap electronics.. man.. it was really cool.

Most memorable will be :Yes, Phone calls and chats on communicator :)
waise kaam bhe karti thi, par baad main busy ho gayi thi , jab saare free the :P
Achha bhe tha, kuch bura bhe laga...

Waise US k managers bahut understanding hote hai..Had it been any Indian manager, mine vacation would have got cancelled for sure, But she agreed and I had fabulous vacation in US with my cousins.. I saw them after years.... honestly years....

And yes, what nothing could do in india, USA did in few days.. I had to cook food.... Man, m not proud of myself about it either. See, fact is that I stayed vegetarian and veg food options werent that great in areas nearby(walk able)

I do remember cold nights spent alone : watching movies.. I learned how to use torrents :D And these days I am capable of giving KT on same... thanks to Appu :D
