Quest for independence

Y I wanted to write this blog .Rather than shutting my mouth not telling my anyone about my boring life great start ehhh..

For a start my life too a giant leap in sept 15 2005 after I left the country which was a cultural pot where I was born and breed without realising what adventure was . I did go for an odd adventure holiday in yanna India etc but largely in the 600 km radius I live .Some time early in 2005 came a break for me to break free an Indian army Interview call which I had dreamt of since I was 15 yrs old.

Didn’t ask anyone booked a 2000kms journey alone on a train 2nd class my parents where concerned but secretly happy that I was travelling alone .I didn’t make it trough mom was happy but I was dejected I returned home as if there was nothing better to do for a mech engineer who didn’t want to enter the software pool when half of his classmates where because the the pay was better.But felt he was born to be among machines.

There where a lot of positive things I could take out of this trip my first long voyage plus sleeping next to the bathroom on a train becs I didn’t have a proper reservation which all I think makes a man stronger.

Well the job hunting continued for a couple of months then decided I had to go to another country to break free of all my karma .I was already learning French by this time so taught about 3 countries Sweden ,France and England , Sweden becs of free education and of course the hot blondes but living there would drain me out money wise .So in the end settled out for a university in the north west of England.


Set out to do all the paper work on my own but in the end my father had to sign for my education loan anyway all the prep done I decided to the plane tickets which I got it cheap .. D Day 15 SEPT 2005 was sitting in the airport lounge thinking what turn would my life take during this one year there was tremendous pressure on me so decided to write a dairy which I updated on a monthly basis the entries on the dairies is what u guys will find here of course a summarised version and a censored one ;).So this is my Spanish apartment.

The flight was exciting becs my connection was delayed had to run to catch the next flight (remember this was my first air journey) so didn’t know that the flight would wait for its connection .I was merely thinking about trains which don’t care but just come and leave on time silly mee…..

During all this running and hassle I saw a confident and a couple of anxious faces confident becs tht bloke had already travelled to Russian and stuff so I could single out the students .Who were travelling like me met a girl well a interesting intelligent girl who was I think the first girl in my life to break my gender barrier . I was never comfortable with the opposite sex with school anyway so u know there it goes .at least I had a girl to chat to .

Reached my destination no one to pick me (too early for uni welcome free pick up service) so decided to stay at my friends place for about 3 days becs . My friend taught some basic survival tricks to be in UK like cornflakes and stuff small things like this make a huge difference for a person like me come who had never had Cornflakes or Pizzas before in his life I am not joking believe me I had just had a bit of a pizza from my friend once and that’s was it.

Came to the University accommodation were I was supposedly had a room booked for myself didn’t have a clue how it looked and stuff but it was not too bad was good but I had assumed that we would all get computers becs it said free internet connection to every room (eh stupid of me to think of that) we have all been there I am sure and done that.

Came to my room where I was helped by a Chinese and south Korean ahh now it gets interesting
