Dreams continued !!

In this part of the story I shall narrate nothing different but the dream that continued...
London is a beautiful city. Not just because its too fancy but also because it has some kind of warmth in it.  People are kind, less of honking, more discipline in terms of traffic, specially when they stop the cars and allow pedestrians to cross first. Not to forget in every 10, you might just spot 3 Asians, you get Indian food very conveniently and it makes you feel home.
Men are less stunning (compared to Indian Men, as per me), but women are of different league. They are good looking, striking and no less than Hot.

It is a small city and hence the best way of exploring it is by walking. Of course the weather does allow you to do that. In Delhi, we boil at 48 degrees... one is not even in the senses to have courage to move around.

When I visited the city the second time(Yes Second time... there is a story behind that too.. shall be my 3rd blog), I went to many places on my own. The city is well connected with trains, happening to be the most appropriate medium to travel, all you need to have is a tube map.

In all this promotion of London, I forget to tell that I am fond of paintings. (Clarifies why Being Virtuoso). My Itinerary included visiting illustrious galleries like Tate and National Gallery.

As they say, Universe conspires and give you what you really want or by sheer serendipity I got to see the collection - Becoming Picasso











and the natural association happened ....

When dreams come true!!

Dreams do come true.. and what if they happen twice!! 

One such dream of mine was to travel to a city I was fascinated about.
I remember when I was young and brain drain was what everybody was talking about, it was then that few of our first and second cousins went to places. When they used to return, they used to get loads of chocolates(common) or body wash's(really common) as gifts. And I used to go Wow!!

Vaguely, I remember the time when I told my mother, that I wanted to visit London. For any "middle class" family, travelling to places like these is not so obvious. But who says we cant dream. 

The answer was NOT no. But since we are typical Punjabi family, we always bargain. This deal was a little funny as I was student then. The Deal - Score 80% over above n you get to go. I was an average student so the score to be achieved was Colossal. But the motivation was strong. And guess what!! I didn't fall below or above. Bang on target. I never got the ticket though. 

I am stubborn.. and i left no stone unturned!!
