BUSYYY, BUSYY AND BUSSYYY

{Doing all by myself! I think I have to get acquainted to doing everything myself soon....hmmm..}

I am sooo busy now a days. I just can't think of anything else other than 'things to do'. I am feeling sooo bad about the fact that I couldn't give my readers anything for a while and I also couldn't hop into their blogs and give some love. Anyways I am 'estimating' the time period for this busy schedule to be one more month from this date!! Ya..that's toooo long. But I have to do a lot of things to get myself adjusted to, leaving my birth country and settling myself, thousands of miles apart, in another country.The coming days are going to be hectic, for sure. I was just going around internet looking for some pics to post here. I found these which made me laugh.I hope it will make u laugh too.

{This one doesn't suit my situation except for the fact that she is also busy! But I really laughed.Look at her face!}

{What about this one?? Nice person to help right?}

It is really hard when u r not getting time for something u love to do. I love to blog.I love the bloggers community and I love it when one follower is added to my list{which is not happening for a while..ha ahha ha... hopefully because I am not writing often!}. I love reading other people's life and I hope u are enjoying reading mine. I hope that I will get some time to spare for this soon.

So what was I saying??ya..it is hard that I am not getting time for the thing I love doing. It is harder, when u are not getting time because you are doing things which u hate. Which comprises of: Talking to banks, seeing their awful faces and answering their questions wondering how stupid and adamand they are!{same time praying that they agree with my answer!}, shoooooppping from underwears to crockeries in one go!{which also includes endless payments reducing the amount I have in my account.}..... My goddd!! I have started to hate almost everything that I am doing these days. Hope that this phase will be over soooonnnn.

Love,

Drving to be a better driver..

{

I love my readers and thanx to each and every one of them for helping me to have my first 10 regular readers. You people rock!!}

I totally missed writing to you all.I really got busy with shopping and moreover driving. I have license but doesn't have much practise. ' Practice makes man perfect', right? So no practice and hence not perfect, till now. I am desperately trying to be perfect now. Today I drived almost half the day, non-stop thro' high traffic areas.

{ok..this is a bit of exaggeration, but there was high traffic lesser than this but definitely qualifies as 'high'}

Another thing was shopping. I have bought a lot of things like leather coats, suitcases etc. Leather coat is looking a bit oversized to me. But my dad and the shop keeper was assuring me again and again that it is correct size.hmm.. I doubt that. 'coz, they both have their money involved in it.{ It was a stitched one. So if we don't buy that, there will be some fine for cancelling the order.}

Leave all that..

Today I will show you around my house or mostly the interior and the curios which my mother maintains. I thought, I will really miss all this and so I will write about it now. So that I can see them and read about them myself as well as share it with you.

{ This is my favourite place. It looks peaceful and gives serenity to our main room. It was a wash room for guests which is adjoint to main room. My mother totally changed it!!}

{ Doesn't it look like aladdin's lamb?? When I was a child, I used to ask mom whether it is really aladdin's lamb!! This is actually not an ancestral antique piece. This one was bought from a military officer long before I was even born...so its older than 22 years for sure.}

{ The wooden chest in the photo is more than 100 years old! It was used by my grand father to keep most valuable gold jewellery he had{He was a whole sale gold merchant}. It is called 'Manipetti'( means 'ring chest' if u translate it just like that). It will ring a bell which can be heard within 100 metres of distance, if someone tries to open it!! Coolll na??}

My mom is too tired and she can't handle me even one more minute sitting in front of this computer. This is her room actually. Internet connection was taken in this room for convenience, she would say.{ I would say, for mother's control on net usage as well as on the sites I would visit!!hmm.. Do I miss porn sites?? NOOO. Just joking guys. I hate them. Have seen one or two out of curiosity and it was a total waste. Ok lets not go into some other topic}. That's enough for 2day.

I am trying to stop writing for atleast 10 minutes now.. ok. I am stopiing.

ohh.. before stopping, keep coming and if u like it, hit follow...!!

stopped.

Love,

I am going to miss everyone here...except my MOM!!!

[To my new lovely readers,

I have got this wonderful oppurtunity to study abroad in University of St.Andrews.I am penning down each and every day before I leave India to UK. The posts u have missed from this series can be founf out under the label Capturing Last moments in India and don't forget to leave a comment or hit the follow button if u like it! Thanx for the love in advance. Now read on...]

I can see u guys wondering 'how the hell is this possible?'. Most of the people would miss their mother first more than anyone else. But I am not going to miss her 'coz she is coming with me!!!!!!!!!

{That's my mom, photo was taken on the christening day of Moha.I just love this photo!}

Ok..To say the truth, we are not yet decided. But there is a very good chance that she's gonna come. I really want her to come but I don't know how the visa and everything would turn out.

So that's the big news of today...

Today morning I had 'pre-departure classes' by amma(my sweet mom). Today what I learned in the class was cooking. First we had a get acquainted-with-kitchen lessons. In that amma was mostly screaming "that's not the pot for fish, u idiot or don't use that knife to cut onions, stupid"

After the acquaintence classes, I helped amma cook fish curry and chicken fry. Helped in the sense - I was standing beside her nodding to whatever foreign language she was speaking!!!...Jokes apart, She taught me how to make it and gave some tips on how I can keep it fresh for many days...etc etc. Ofcourse I am trying my best to remember everything she said but at last decided to write it down.{I don't trust my brain much for remembering except when it is for exams!}

By evening,

We planned to go out shopping for the crockery items. But didn't go, we both were tooo lazy to go and took a nap instead. The plan was made in the first place because Amma found out a shop where there is a lucky contest: You buy some crockery and u will get any of the following:

1) A studio apartment!!

{If I am gonna get it, then I would like it to be something like this!I can go to any extent in dreaming right??(even if I haven't even been to the shop to participate in the lucky contest)}

I can "adjust" if it look like this also..

2) Santro Car

{That's the car I am talking about..}

3) Microwave, cooker etc etc.

She thinks that I am having a chance because our astrologer said so!!!{My mom consults him always and she did about me going abroad. He said I am having the best time of my life ahead...Sometimes I love him for what he says even though I don't believe it}

Great! I don't believe in it, but anyways I have to buy crockery... so y not from this shop. I will let u know how far I was lucky and what all I bought as soon as I go there.

So I think that was it for the 3rd day...! Stay tuned.23 days to go!

Love,

Have u ever time travelled..?? I am going to.Yippeeee!!

{This is said to be a time machine as per GOOGLE!!Is it looking like one??}

U might be wondering whether I suddenly met some scientist who has a time travelling machine and I got ready to take the place of the first experimetal rat/mice. But alas! I am not{though it would've been exciting and scary at the same time..and I like such things!}.

{This one looks better..and looks atleast related to real time machine,if there can be one! }

So how I am really gonna time travel???.....Actually I am going to gain atleast 5 hours when I travel to UK. Hence I can 'say' that I am time travelling{whereas I am not...but I can say anything here 'coz u guys can take any level of my madness, right??}. The news from which all these madness is originating is that I got my tickets ready...Hoorayy!!!!

I will be leaving India for a gap of atleast 1 year on 12 th september.The D-day is 12th!!

So that means I have exactly 24 days here.

I have every intentions to keep u posted on what is happening in these 24 days. So don't worry of losing out on anything{maybe u r not, but I would like to assume that u r as any writer would...!}

{Emirates..said to be very customer friendly as in the pic!! Will let u know whether this is true, as soon as I reach there.}

I am going in Emirates. "who the hell knows y Emirates is chosen?" My sister knows and my bro-in law knows too. They are both into this Emirates a lot. My bro is a Skywads memeber too. So they have selected this airlines for me, their precious little sister{They would want to interchange the 'precious' with something like 'mygod-she-is-coming' or 'forgetting-idiot' or 'memoryless-stupid'}.

I really feel 'memory-less stupid' suits me very much now. This is mainly because I just 4got that I was supposed to sent a gift for my bro's niece &nephew. I really felt like a shit when my mom reminded me about it{Ofcourse, long after 'there-is-no-use-in-reminding' time..that means 2day}. I was supposed to sent it almost 1 week back. Can u believe it? They do almost everything for me and I don't even do such small things for them! I am such a bitch sometimes. I should go to a doctor with this stupid forgetful brain I am having. Don't u think?

Anyways,I hope this gift matter won't make big issues....

Another news is that, I am arranging a get-together with my gang!. I know that I still haven't made u all acquainted with my family and my gang other than just their names. I will write about each and everyone of them soon. For now, Just see them and their names once more.

{Shamjith aka shamu, Hari aka kari, Aarathy aka .....me!, Ambily aka Amby, Neeraj aka Neeru & Vineeth aka Vini(in order from the left)}

Coolll pic na?.I just love this one. I have some others too of the same genre, meaning- taken in the same studio. But I thought I will post all that when I write about everyone of them. My gang..I love them and they have been with me thro' thick and thin{thin also includes me being a bitch!}.

True Friends means these people to me...Our gang is 6 year old and we hope to go on like this forever...!

So that's with 2nd day...Stay tuned to read the rest 24 days of the last 26.

Love,

When the wish turns into reality..everything is blissful

Hey everyone, I am soooooo relieved and happyyyyyy

Now I am feeling like this:

orrr this:

I am wondering at my self on how fast my moods change!! Ofcourse it is directly linked to the happenings after my last post. The happenings include- my telephone calls to the courier people and my mom and dad who ensured that.....

I got VISA...The long waiting sessions and sleepless nights have come to an end.

This is to just let all my friends know that I have got it. I got entry clearence from 7th of sept onwards. So I will be leaving from india to UK on a day just after 7 th, which is not fixed. Moving on to next programme....which includes shopping,booking ticket, crying to friends over phone, having get togethers, missing everyone and everything out here in India. Most importantly capturing each and every moment of my last 20 something days in India before leaving to UK. My desires and my life of these days will be posted here. Ofcourse how can I leave out u guys from sharing these wonderful, emotional and lovely moments which is mixed with a lot of happiness and a little bit of sadness.

This is 'OUR' emblem{I am soo happy to say 'our' at last!!}

University of St Andrews....Can u hear me???{calling out to the university, not u ppl.} I am coming to u and ur wonderful place to study and to know life in a better way....{Don't think I am mad and stop reading..I just get hyper at some very happy or veryy sad moments}

University Main Buildings{or...rather part of it!}

I am very happy that I got this oppurtunity to study in such a nice university with a tradition of more than 600 years. Its the university from which great people have graduated. But I think Prince william will be a name that anyone would get. His name is at the end of the long list!! Can u believe it??{Actually his girl friend's name is the last,I excluded it. She was his flatmate at the University...Lucky girl!! They are said to get married in 2011 according to reports..hmmm..}

Ok..so enough of that.

That's the university building from..a helicopter I suppose!!

My university is in a beautiful place called St. Andrews in Scotland. It is the first university of scotland and third oldest in the whole english speaking world!! It again topped for a fourth time as the best university in UK in the National Student Survey 2009.

That's the university buildings looking from the beach of St. Andrews{It actually goes into the sea!!}

That's another picture of main university buildings.

{wow!! that looks really looks like the extreme of enjoyment..maybe a bit of humiliation too}

This is the foam fight in November.Its a tradition in the university. To know more ab't this just read the following paragraph...

The University website says:

"As befits a 600-year-old university St Andrews has many student traditions. Most famous is the red academic gown which students wear at formal occasions. St Andrews is also the home of the Academic Family, a spontaneous tradition where older students adopt first year students as 'children'. Parents can help guide the first years through life at St Andrews in a system of mentoring, which reaches its most outrageous at Raisin Weekend in November when children are dressed in embarrassing, flamboyant costumes by their mothers and are let loose in the central quadrangle of the University for an enormous shaving foam fight. Despite the silliness of Raisin Weekend academic families are often close-knit and very supportive. Children and parents become fast friends and siblings go on to become aunts and uncles to each other's children in a few years time, continuing the tradition."

Nice na?

Now I will show u my hostel: David Russell Apartments.. It looks very cozy and neat..I liked it in the photos, hope I will like it in the real life too.

Apartment Lounge...

I hate washing clothes..so this would be my favourite place. Apartment Laundry..

I have to get friendly with this area as soon as possible. The kitchen!{Its self-catered!!God..no idea, how I am gonna manage..??}

The desk area..My blogging & reading place!! My Favourite!!

I think that's enough for today..So this is DAY 1 of the last days here in India. Stay tuned...

Love,
