I woke this morning to see a sight where everything is covered with layers and layers of white cream...mmm vanilla everywhere. There is snow on the roofs, on the cars like they have a white thick carpet on their roofs, the footpath,the grass, well the grass is not seen at all, the bare trees, they are all outlined with white snow, so all of them look black and white and they look so beautiful. Its as if watching life in black and white.

I just dint feel like going to work then....but well the railways were working fine, just that they were majorly delayed and I cant tell my boss that I am not well...coz I was all up and bubbly the previous day...so I decided will go late. Then I made a nice snowman in the front yard :-) (will upload its pic later today coz its in the other camera), played in snow with housemates then geared myself well, and walked my way to the station. Children were making snowman in their yards, people walking on the footpath taking utmost care, everybody's leather accessories were out. The announcer had a new line this morning warning us and cautioning us to take utmost care while walking else all they would say is Please mind the gap between the train and the platform, Miiiiiiiind THE gap, Please walk right down inside the carriages, Please use all available space, This train is now ready to depart, please mind the closing doors, Miiiiiiind the closing doors please. The train driver was apologizing time and again for the delays and would keep telling us the situation like how many trains are queued in front of us blah blah..I felt like saying Duh!! its obvious there are gonna be delays...we are all walking on it...but well this is London, they are polite and generous in all the talking they do.

      


Anywyas, the train tracks looked so nice , black and white  the seats covered with snow..and some stations were closed too, due to bad platforms or unavialibility of staff,  and now I am at work. but I managed to get some shots on my way. I just love the snow.

Its snowing today in london,(well i think that is quite obvious by now) this is the second snow for this year...last time it was just 1 or 2 inches but this time there is a good 6-8 inches of snow and it is still snowing as I peep out of my office  window.
I know snow is not a big thing...as it snows so many places in the world..but in London its just so different.

Ok enough of my snow snow snow...peace guys...well peace is also white in colour :-)

P.S: Thanks to Babul for the train track pic.

I was in all mixed emotions when I saw Shilpa Shetty's pic in london metro last evening(the local newspaper)..saying that she would probably be one of the house mates in the celebrity big brother(Big Brother is like Big Boss in India, or should I say the other way round.)..since it was Shilpa to confirm the news I saw big brother at 8 and yo she was there. dressed in saree, with bindi she got down of the BMW posing a namaste through out and waving the crowd. She looked stunning.I was in all mixed feelings of happiness, proud worried for Shilpa.She is the only Asian amongst the 11 housemates and I don't think its gonna be easy to live in there.

Other housemates are Leo Sayer the pop singer, Journalist Carole Malone, US Actor Dirk Bennedict, the model Danielle Llyod, 25 year old another pop singer Danny Tourette(he was so drunk when he arrived at the show), Old dil Director Ken Russell, Singer Jo O'meara. the gay Ian Watkins, old actress Cleo Rocos, and Jeremaine Jackson (Michaels elder bro)You would find more details at http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/index.jsp

All the best Shilpa!!!

Finally the year 2006 is over..yipeee!!!

2006, I am so happy its over. Whenever I think of 2006 I can just remember waiting and waiting and uncertainty. It started good though with lot of site seeing in the month of Jan and feb,the house purchase, my interactions with Rotaract (thanks to Puja )and the gym (btw I lost toal 5 kgs this year, yay!!!) but after I switched jobs in march just after a lovely birthday,it was just travelling between UK and India, staying without family, no certainty about anything at all, oh yes one good thing was my flying experience, thanks to beens and chet for that, other than that it was just a wait for good work.
I hope this year would be happening, Nevertheless I learnt a lot this year

1. Importance of money (before I bought the house, I was a free bird, spent on whatever,anytime, now I have to think before I buy anything)
2. Friends do change after marriage, well their priorities change,Give space to my married friends(still learning that)
3. The importance of my loved ones (my immediate family and my dear friends), not taking them for granted.
4. What kind of job not to take (learnt it the hard way though, but I am glad I took the path)

My resolutions for this year (writing it down for comparison next year)

1. Lose 10kgs weight; get in shape (not round shape)
2. Think and talk, with the kind of impulsive talking I do, many a times I wish I dint talk that much. So the motto this year is "Think and talk” and yeah (yeah yeah..Its too late too realize..but as they say its better late than never :-),
3. Be a better human being.

I wish a very Happy new year to all of you.
