India to UK


I know, its been months I have not contributed to my blog because of my busy schedules. I felt I really want to talk about my trip to United Kingdom and my life in Birmingham.

I started my journey from the Bangalore Airport at 4:30 am on 6th September via Dubai. My heart was filled with hope of having a new life in UK while I am on board. Though the voyage across the oceans was very tiring by flight, I finally ended up visiting my home town, Ooty. I felt I am in home when I saw the ambience of the Birmingham city, especially the buildings. I never felt that I am in a strange land because the structure of the buildings in the city reminded me of my childhood days. Further, I was accompanied by few Indians while traveling from the airport to the place of my accommodation. Everything was strange to me except the buildings. Though initial week was difficult when I was starting to settle down, I got accustomed to the environment very soon and started to enjoy every bit of my life here.
