So the day as usual started at 10 in the morning..Had the tasty cornflakes..think its the regular breakfast of every student who is studying abroad..Then skimmed over a few episodes of Band Of Brothers..awesome watch..Along came 3 o clock and my stomach started grumbling again and I wondered why not have a take away from the nearby restaurant..All this while the thought of what's my next blog going to be was a question pestering me..Well the fresh air did streamline my mind in the correct direction..As I was walking I looked up to the sky and was observing the patterns..I told myself hey other than being in a different environment has anything changed at all when I opted to do my masters in Sheffield University, UK?? Hence thats how I got the title for this blog.
The selected 13 were the first ones to start working at UNITEK..well I had the reputation of prolonging my lists of firsts..the first one to take a leave after the first day of working and also the first one to smack the resignation on the table soon after I knew that my result was ALL PASS. Now then during the latter part of my S8 there was a small thought of doing my masters and it had started becoming bigger and bigger everyday..The common opinion was that according to my parents I am of the nature that whatever I get I am satisfied with that , when if I stuck with the job I got through placement then I will stick to that and no more development for me. haha the irony is that earlier in the year they were all over me about not geting a job through campus placement and now here I am wondering what was it all for..Anyways I thought they have seen more of life than what I have; and so came along the IELTS classes and the email's sent to and fro to universities abroad. I along with 3 of my friends applied at various universities. But here too there was something different..You see I was under the mindset that no matter where I get admitted, if my friends are there then it will be cool. But heeding to my fathers and other important advises I also applied to Univ. Of Sheffield My father advised me otherwise saying that it is your future.All you can tell them is to apply to the university to which you also have applied.This is the way life goes.It doesn't allow you to stick onto anyone or lie back to depend on for so long.I never in my wildest dream thought that I would be ending up in UK..let alone Sheffield for that matter.
Anyhow I'm 3 months into Sheffield doing my masters in Control systems and what I observed during these 3 months is that either you can screw yourself by all aspects and get wasted or get wasted and not get screwed and come out of this shit hole like it was a cake walk. What you guys think i'm going crazy calling this place is a shit hole..well trust me it is..nothing fascinating about UK..and that fact you will realize only after the plane lands in UK and not before as one of my friend quoted.Basically I guess quoting UK as UPPER KUNAMKULAM IS SOO VERY TRUE..ALL YOU SEE IS THE LUSH GREEN OUTFIELD LIKE A CRICKET GROUND AND NOTHING ELSE..lol
Well Christmas went by as a usual day without anything worth mentioning..I felt that Xmas back home was more lively than over here..All so dead like and basically stagnant like a sunday evening.. The only highlight being the fact that I gota Xmas card from a very dear friend of mine..God bless you girl..:)
Another 6 days went by and so came new year's eve and followed by a knock on my door..C'mon sam sam party tonight..it was my roomie.It's azeri solidarity day as well as new year's eve..Let's make some food and have some fun.Well okhay I told as I realized I really needed to sketch a diferent pattern in my mind right now because of the dissapointment of Xmas being such a drag here and the fact that back home all were having a good time.And so I headed straight for the kitchen. So we ended up helping the main cook :) and got ready for the evening..
Well I remember what happened for a few hours into the party eating and playing a game called skip which was fun.Later on Budweizer,Foster and Scotch took over my head..It was nice to have another reason to get drunk other than the obvious event of heading into 2010. The topics of conversation were various.It was good to be in a mix of russia,british,azeri ofcourse and as well as korean crowd.It gave endless topics or view points for every topic.For a change after coming to Sheffield I had a good time for the very first time.As 2009 was closely approaching all of us reflecting upon something or the other was evident on everyone's face..And soon the countdown started as the timer of the camera's started blinking more vigorously..3..2..1..POP!! the champagne spraying on all present and then the shouts of wishes hurled all around the room. So then a round of Champagne for everyone..Well I was forced to have another round for the most funniest moments shared among all the variety of nationalities present..I had narrated to them about my stint as a dancer dressed up as a girl..with details.So there I was given an award of drinking almost 5 glasses of champagne as vodka shots!! bbrrrr..i went after the fifth glass and everyone started moving away from me as all knew that I have had only vodka once in my entire life.So there I was giggling away to glory and filled with so much energy and smugness to top it all.Then I started the usual trying to walk in a straight line and had another serving of the wonderful array of dishes that were there.So resolutions guys what will it be..One went on about doing some good for mankind and all..well I opted for a much seemingly simpler one I guess.Try to write one paragraph in Azeri language..Little do they know that a paragraph is a writer's option and fully upto him to either make it one line or a 100 lines..smart me..:)
Anyways the connection from my brain to these fingertips of mine seems to have stopped.. and here's Cheers to the person sitting above me for giving me a decade that was an eyeopening and one hell of a roller coaster ride that even DISNEY can't offer.
HAPPY TWENTY TEN!!
