Boy to a MAN in a Minute

Well this would be an interesting culturally
Drinking is not a taboo in India but its general form of respect not to drink in front of ur parents.So me being a good boy had never told my parents that i was drinking when i was India .So that kind of drinking meant that drinking half a bottle of beer getting back home after having an nice meal.
This generally worked fine for me until i left my motherland .My parents obviously suspected that i would drink but they never asked and i never answered
Igonrance is blisss!!!! .It certainly is

But in my adopted country it was a completely different story. Frequent night out with my mates i found out it was easier t socialise if u at least go to the pub,Better if u drink
Well when i met my dad in Paris .I was glad to see him of course and himself and his mates we went to a local cafe
Since i knew some french i was to order whiskeys for them me being Indian inspite of being in europe for so long
The English translation of the order goes like:
Can i have 3 whiskey's and 1 cappuccinos please.These people who have a generation gap bear in mind they have just heard of cappuccino They usually drink coffee or tea.
One of my fathers friend tried to understand wht i was saying and caught the fact that i had ordered something different .He assumed that it was a drink as well and asked me what have u ordered and he knew that cappuccino is a caffeine based drink.
So he told my father who tried to be friendly and said, Hey its ok u are a man now u can have a drink.Me being conservative had a beer and nothing else.
TATS IT FOR NOW
Adios

CHANGE the only constant

Hola Todos


This seems to be my fav word now .Don't know y but i like it

May be it just brings back my memories of the Latino girl who was my fancy:) anyway .

There were and still are i believe a lot of change .A person should change good change is always healthy for mankind .Well in my house the Internet is up and running with out any problem and after repeated request the land lord finally relented and installed a new system and new locks !!!!!! .That's a nice change .

Back to my story which takes u all back to 2007 .

Well becs of this job i had to move back to the central England which is not too far from London or the coast to be honest.I don't get there classification or division of counties on a small mass of land as this .In comparison my state back in my motherland is more bigger than UK.

Different places diff people different cultures and opinions i suppose.That's what made me a better individual remember so i should not be cribbing about this.

Well i had butterflies in my stomach the first few days since especially the first day i went in there was nobody in the office .Apparently they were in another city attending some important conference.Imagine walking into the office the first day and being in a deserted department working alone ,Well if checking hotmail is called work .

Work colleagues were good but not great .Wont go into to much details but yeh could have been worse.

Home search time, well that was and still is the most interesting story to tell .Registered in some Internet site and got a lot of calls .But some of the houses that i visited on the Internet it looked great,but wen i got there it was a completely different story.

Saw this house which i liked .But i missed the vital point i was living as a lodger and then i realise wht a living hell it can be especially if the lodger is a nagging and from south of Europe .Not that i have anything against them but oo boy couldn't use the microwave , the kitchen had to be super clean.

Any way after a while it became a bit too much for a random block accustomed to chaos like me to take.So i move but paying some deposit money becs apparently i had caused some damage .
