Last weekend as I mentioned had been to Black pool - pleasure beach.
This is an awesome place for the ppl who enjoy the roller coaster and their family lol :-)
Almost all the rides were very vivacious and bit bloodcurdling too… we started with all the adventurous rides. There was only one ride which we felt wasn’t as expected. We felt it was poo!!! We waited long in the Q, but that was an uninteresting ride.
All my companions with ardent entered into each ride and the end of the ride, each and everyone’s face would have turned so red which will imply a ghost seen feeling. Few of them did not even enter into the rides after experiencing some of these beasts… :-)
I never stepped back from any of the rides instead I enjoyed each and every part of them. Many of my friends played lot of games around there, games in the sense kind of gambling – do u c what I mean, but neither of them won any prize… (A matter of tact and trick there)
We had been for a show bearing that in mind that we can see another show – dance on ice which I was always longing to have a look at. The show which we saw was named as FORBIDDEN and that was a good one. This was my first live and I enjoyed every bit of it, except for the fact that we were hungry…
The next for our dismay another show on the ice had got cancelled and we really missed. We went for all the other family rides as we had ample time to while away.
I and my friend went for repetition of rides as we wanted to enjoy those moments again.
Finally the time had come for us to return back and yesterday we all woke up very late. Still have got all the aches but am enjoying them…
This trip was a nice moment to cherish…

Apologise to me and my blog readers!!!
Hey got busy suddenly couldn't even drop in a single blog for past 2 weeks. Had determined to write 3 blogs per week, but was not able to manage to do.
what i did past 2 weeks...Was very busy brushing my subjects for my future... confidential cant mention here though...
Then got busy with work as well, had to work bit late nights and didn't find time to even go to gym and swimming... poor me...
Some interesting part that happened:- i read a book "As a Man Thinketh", very good and essential one for each indiviual in their entire life time, in order to shape their future by following a proper thinking process.
At present am reading another wonderful book "The Monk who sold his Ferrari", more about both these books in my next blog.
This weekend is a long weekend for us and am off for a place called BLACK POOL. Will share the experience once i am done with it.

Friend’s day in UK… (Very sad thing to write about)
Last year… (2007)
To be frank I don’t know how I spent my last year’s friend’s day and with this I am sure I wouldn’t have had a good time.
This year… (2008)
This Sunday unfortunately happened to be a friendship day and I really had no joy in celebrating it as few of my near and dear ones where not near me, few whom I met in UK have no time or have no plans of celebrating it and few engrossed in their own problems.
I called few of my friends to wish them, both my best friends didn’t even wake up as they are in US and it was not the right time to call. Friends in UK as well were sleeping as it was a weekend.
This day didn’t really start very well, got disappointed on these calls. Was wondering how these few calls can matter so much in life. Is it only for me or is it for everybody? I don’t understand… Is a relationship so important in life? How are people leaving alone in this country able to live their life peacefully? Are they really leaving peacefully? Lot of questions arise in my mind. These questions often ponder in my mind and take my peace away.
When I entered into UK I liked the independent life here, me leaving on my own, the life I always wanted, but once I got few friends few months (very few months) ago I started enjoying my life with them and started liking that life more than me leaving alone… but now they all have their own problems and priorities and I am back to my old life, but now u know what I’m not able to take me back to the old life I was or used to enjoy… It’s becoming too difficult for me to accept the reality… This friend’s day had made me sick…
Again more questions arose in my mind, and then realised my aunt’s words that she said on Saturday when I spoke to her… we Indians are bound to be sentimental about relationship, we always want few to be around us… that’s the reason once I got used to few friends here, I’ve got attached to them and now when they don’t want to be the same, am not able to accept it. My aunt’s advice for me was “Come back to india, here you will have somebody for you”. That’s true; sometimes I think I should go back spend time with family. Though none of my friends are there in India, I would atleast spend time with my family… but sometimes I think I should stay back explore my life to the maxim before marriage, do whatever I wish to do (like how I joined my swimming class) etc… am really confused…
When I get thoughts about my friends and those splendid moments I spent with them, I really go depressed that I am not able to enjoy like I used to… but what to do as my manger once said while bidding adieu “Change is a good thing, instead of mourning about the change, embrace it”
Again question arises is human relationship so important in life… then I remember the words by Socrates “Nothing is stable in human affairs, so avoid undue elation in prosperity or undue depression in adversity”.
Today I don’t know why I started this topic… was bit depressed and wanted to jot down everything and feel relaxed. Hoping to come out of this situation soon and back to my good old independent life…

Hectic Weekend & the Spoilt Semiya
This weekend was too hectic, I had to move my room to the near by flat and yes, I am sharing room again with one of my friends I met here.
Uf! This moving house is really horrendous, 1st u got to clean the room you are moving to and next you have to clean the room you have moved from (got to get the advance back :-)), pack everything and rearrange everything in the new room…oops!
This new room is again a shared accommodation, too many things to be arranged. The kitchen with too much stuffs in it, had to get rid of many useful items as well… there were too many Indian masala items from India all in a heap. After my Gym and swim trial completed all the cleaning work, got bit exhausted but what to do, we have to do our own work isn’t it…
Night planned to cook semiya upma and with high ardent and interest thought this time want to do a different kind, so was searching for recipes and got one at the back of the pack itself. My mind spoke to me “hey that’s a jujube recipe, c’mon you can do it”, with this over confidence planned to boil the semiya in Microwave. First tried for 10 mins it didn’t, then bindas... kept for the next 10 mins and you know what happened the whole semiya was completely cooked. I just checked it by touching it and thought its cooked.
I got all onions and other necessary cut through friends and after all the seasonings and onions fried tried to put this semiya into the mixture, guess what??? the whole vermicelli had become maavu (flour), my friends helped me in mixing them but in vain. The whole thing instead of semiya upma it had transformed to semiya maavu upma and I was sure nobody can have that. So with a sad mood prepared lemon rice and had…
I wanted to sleep early yesterday night but due to this semiya thing had to sleep late…
Never mind will try this semiya upma again :-) today and hopefully will give a delicious upma to my friends today….

Hurray! Into Swimming...
Hey All, Finally the day has come for me to accomplish my long awaited dream of learning swimming. Yes, I have joined swimming class from today.
Yesterday was just a trial and I adore it. I have joined gym and Swimming.
This joining of gym and swimming is not to become fit or look slim all those useful stuffs… (‘cos I am already). This is to provoke myself that I can do things that I am intended to do, this is to strike out a list item from my bucket list and most importantly keep me aloof of all unnecessary thoughts.
Got a new swim suit as well, didn’t know if I would wear the same if I was in India, but here I didn’t find any difference… thanks to this country.
Many more about my experience in this SPA yet to come…

Got Inspired...
My day in office started like this… I planned to complete all my work today and when I sat in office, developers came running to discuss about the defect I had raised.
They were questioning me to confirm if it was a valid test… and as usual they started scratching their head unknowing what to do as it requires a change in the design (A pat for me)
With high zeal started creating the test data to find more bugs and to retest another defect… The defect was fixed and I, for my satisfaction confirmed other few scenarios from the developer as well.
Pleased with one part of my work and bearing that I need to complete another as well… something suddenly brought my mood off, not knowing how to bring my zeal back was trying to read some motivational stuff that I usually do…
To my rescue came this article, I surely need to mention about this here. I got into tears reading this. This article was published in rediff news. This is about a guy named Naresh who has got a disability, but inspite of his inability he just proved he is the best. He has completed his BE from IIT, madras and has joined Google… He is just 21 years old but you have to see how optimistic this guy is… here are few pictures of him (Sorry Naresh i had to Publish without your permission)

These are the words through him that inspired me a lot
“God has planned things for me and takes care of me at every step”
“I want all those who read this to feel that if Naresh can achieve something in life, you can too”
After reading this then I realised how stupid I had been in my life, instead of thanking God for all the treasures he has given me I always complained… but see this guy how thankful he is to God.
Bearing all this in mind, I started my next part of my work and raised a defect. Started my work of haunting developers…

A Sad Sayanora
Sayanora - Good bye has never been a happy moment
I stay in a apartment where I met interesting characters, set of guys and gals. Weekend would be enjoying moment for us. Right from Friday till Sunday would be wonderful moments for us…
We had been for nice trips and had many more plans in the near future. One fine (not a fine) day, for our dismay we came to know that the projects these guys are working has got cancelled and they all have to move back to India.
I could see many disappointed faces there, few worrying about not able to help the financial crisis they are facing in their family, few worried that their parents might get them married as soon as they reach India, few worried about missing their independent life here. I worrying about missing these enjoyments that have just started in my life…
Today I had bid farewell to all these guys and they all are gone… With the same usual dialogues viz… Call me, mail me, scrap me, don’t forget me... we waved good bye to all of them.
Those days will always linger in every one’s heart and with this heavy heart I am closing this 3rd blog for the day.
