The story so far... till 4th June!!

We are actually in london. We got with us, the rains , complete bombaiya monsoon weather .. gloomy for the London ke log , but humare liye , it was being at home!!! Slept the first two days , celebrated Sabrina’s 13^th birthday in a very ghar ghar ka party types ( the major BBQ party scheduled for July , since it was raining on 27^th May). Gorged on bhajiya’s if you might please & loads of coffee, chai , and wine in my system!!!

Highlights so far:

1. The Magpie’s, the Robins, the Woodpeckers , the Squirrels & the Fox too( although I haven’t seen them so far, Fenu Masi’s backyard is the forest!! ) & various other varieties of birds , who are there to wish you good morning & eat all the food that is left every evening for them!!! My first journey on the bus with Sabrina was phukatiya , coz didn’t realize I had to swipe the Oyster card ( just like humara rail pass , but oyster takes care of rail and road)!!!

2. Its been walking around this area , visiting Mr.Sterling & Joan ( Fenu M’s god parents here!! ), a bit of shopping around ( khane pina ka saman , loads of all kinda cheese, breads & juices!! )

3. I DROVE my first automatic car on the streets of London , and love it!!! It really is like driving in Bombay , baas thoda sa idhar ke regulation par dhyan dena padta hai , then you are set!!!

4. The meals being conjured by Shaun , very interesting

5. Sabrina actually educating herself for her exams !!! & helping around the house .. how perfect is that!!!

6. Meeting up Fenu M ‘s friends.

7. A woman actually walked into Starbucks begging for money & wasn’t even thrown out by the staff …… What is wrong with this city???

8. Walking around so far , has been like being in any hill station in India , with a slight difference, & being around the shopping area has been “ Gurgaon main itne gore kahan se aa gaye?? “!!!!
