My Stay in London

The advantage of being a wife of a software professional is you get opportunity to visit foreign countries if you are a house wife. I too got such an opportunity to visit and live in London,capital of United Kingdom.

London is the hub and serves as a Gateway to all the European countries. Its really a nice and lovely place to live in.

When I came first came to London with my daughter almost two years back, I was not that impressed in the first instance. Probably due to the weather conditions which makes a complete different in lifestyle from the way we live in India.

We cannot go out like we go in South India. Here you will have to prepare yourself / cover yourself with all warm clothes even if you want to bin the garbage.

You cannot see any roadside tea shops where people gather and talk world politics, a place where we can get all world news with opinions and debates. Nor you can sit near the windows and watch people on the road side. Thought these might be simple things but I am sure I miss all these pretty happiness.

More over I miss all my family members and had to find something to keep myself busy. Life here looks more mechanical where everyone longs for a Friday and hates Mondays. But the days in between are the fastest moving days. You might feel its Sunday night but next moment my husband will crib O my God, I have to work tomorrow as its Monday.

The good thing is I really liked the seasonal changes. You can feel and see every single season changing especially summer here is a lovely season .The Government has many schemes and aids and supports old and orphaned which is not that vigorous in our country.

Children have more freedom than in our country. I guess they don't have to carry the 5Kg Bag to their school and its more practical than theoretical.

A lovely and a costlier place to live…
