I do not know y i wanted to write this blog, but just felt like writing and here I go.

With a cup of hot chocklate, and a lot of feelings inside I start.

I came to Sweden on the 26th August,2008 to do my Masters in Dependable Computer Systems from Chalmers Univ of Technology. A pretty highly ranked university among the technical circles in Europe and across the globe.

But within the first few days I have learnt that I am not here to learn only technical stuff, but to learn about life, to know what I as a person as an individual can do and cannot do.

The last month and a half have been a mixed bag of sorts--

past, present and future all jumbled into one bag and communal riots within them who deserves my attention most.

And being a very secural person, I am finding it tough to keep the mobs in control.

Missing my dear ones back home --making new ones here,
Missing the fun in the office --Back to college days,
Missing home food, amma's delicacies -- learning the art of survival on anything I cook,
Missing dad's scoldings --Replaced by Professors classes + dad's phone calls
Missing samosas -- getting content with sandwiches and burgers
Missing my mom cleaning my room -- Learning to clean my own stuff(push everything in the
cupboard lets look at it later)
Missing the dhobi -- Washing + ironing my own clothes
Missing the maid -- learnt to use the vaccuum cleaner and the dishwasher

And the future is not quite either--Work in Europe,US; Do a PHD; Get back home; my dreams of teaching students back home; Marriage; .....


Oh my God so many thoughts in this brain.. But guess it is the transformation phase going on

yes there have been some eventful events in Sweden so far-- About Gothenburg and Sweden; Meeting the nice people-Linnea, Marcus, Malle, Johan ; Making new friends; My College,classes and stuff; Bhaskers trip;......

I guess each one needs a seperate blog so keep checking this space for more....

Till then

Keep smiling Keep Cheering
