After a hectic last month, I can finally sit in peace and continue on the blog which I keep abandoning again and again! The latest is, well, inspite the heavy odds, I made it to Glasgow, to Scotland and well, to the UK! Life here is completely a straight walk in one file. Work goes on so systematically that it scares you sometimes. We Indians are used to having things done in our own time and liesure but not here, if something is given a time to be done, it is done on and at that time whether you like it or not!
Take the case of the incident that happened a few days back, I got a notice from the accomodation people here saying that the cleaners would be there doing their job at so and so time and date. I was all ok! whatever type. The notice said to label the stuff in the kitchen belonging to you so that it is not disposed off, something I shouldn't have taken lightly!! The day after the cleaing, I found all my stuff-cup,glass,spoon,cereal,sugar.noodles and all was all taken out to trash! There went about £10 of stuff!!!!! Learning is part of life and I took the lesson and am playing cautious now!
Otherwise life here is a breeze. Unlike in India, here people of all ages keep jogging at any damn time of day in their shorts and vests even if the weather is like 10 degrees! I laughed initially but am getting used to it and thinking of starting a similar routine as it has started getting colder here now. There is no other better way of staying than jogging I guess, atleast for the tee-totlers like me! The other interesting thing here is that the sky seems to be dark all day(owing to the grey clouds) and orange in the night!!
The University is one hell of a place. Being one of the oldest in the world(estab. 1451), the buildings seem to be taken right out of the the pages of the Harry Potter series. You feel of looking for some broom kept lying about and try to fly off, it really looks like Hogwarts!
More blogging to come!
