3 months back when I flew into London I didn’t know the next time I would be back at the heathrow airport and here I am today, moving yet again. Like the last time, I am excited for this new move and not having lived in Asia for 9 yrs now, it is defnitely the beginning of a new adventure.
Besides my parents being ecstatic about the fact that I am moving so close to them, trying to start a career in Asia is going to be a completely new book, not just a chapter.
At the end of the day, everything happens for a reason and something tells me that I wasnt meant to be in London. Ofcourse I could have stuck it out a lil bit longer but there was a part of me that did wanna be closer to home … I guess the timing worked out perfectly – because this year I am going to be home for Diwali … Diwali is the equivalent of christmas for the indian .. atleast thats my explaination of it to my non-indian friends
London was an exciting time with its own ups and down – on one hand the city is filled with INSEADers that are always ready to give you company and on the other hand I was missing out when so many of these people talked about their work day. But I used my time here to explore the city and really get the true feel of one of world’ most happening cities. I kept myself busy with my job search (ofcourse) but also coupled the days with frequent visits to some of the best restaurants, stores, musicals, runs by thames and strolls across the popular areas of the city. My recommendations of my fav. places will have to wait for another blog post but if you are moving to London, you must learn to love the rain. That was one feature of the city that I could not live with and def. wanted to change. But I guess thats what makes London…
For now, signing off with my last post from London in 2010. Cheers to yet another start !!!
