London dreams

Inspired by this booklet
I just picked up at Moorgate,

On my way to Wembley Park
Wondering how I got this spark

Did I really have the ability
To write a beautiful poetry

About this London city
At the same time being witty?

Three long weeks here I spent
A couple of days in Kent

Two different worlds they are
Although not very far

Buses and tubes are that what make
London to go without a break

Somewhere in this wonderland
I lost my way I understand

Crowds of people here and there
Am I in the middle of a fair?

I am told I am at Bank, a place
Unmistakeably London’s face

Well dressed people come and go
In black and white to and fro

Finance is the game they play with cash
All look tensed after the crash

Far away from the madding crowd
I know I have a different road.

I board a tube, the first I get
Into a paradise I can never forget

I almost get lost in my solitude deeper
Like Wordsworth’s beautiful reaper

All of a sudden the good lady spoke
Train is about to terminate bloke

I jumped out of my seat and wrote
High time to stop this quote.

Fight in the bus

I always felt physical aggression is a reflection of the extent of lack of civilization, and hence I
felt pretty odd when i saw some guys duel in the bus in London!

Not that I have seen any thing like that in my last few weeks here. A presumably Asian guy and
his dad were traveling with us when these three people got on to the bus from Brent Town Hall.
They were of course well built, and all set to fight and moved to this guy. Pulled the collar of his shirt and dunk! His poor old dad tried to intervene, and I guess he too got a shot! Poor chap...
Then they threw him down the stairs and what happened later is mystery :P Couldn't see from my seat in the upper deck beyond this.

Guess he should be alright, probably inspired by the Australians. The Ashes always brings about tight competitions between the British and the Aussies, u know...

Psst... It was not a racial attack. They were acquaintances, possibly frnz who were fighting for a girl :P

I need to write...

This post I am sure will be a different one. Its about why you must blog?!!
I sat down to work on my report today and gosh! my pen wouldn't move an inch!

I was absolutely short of words and that too of words I know for sure. And you know what,
I was shocked to learn how my brain could pop out the hindi words for the same :P

I always enjoyed writing both long and short compositions at school. In college, I have to
write long essays (factual or fictitious) only during the exams and guess with the amount of effort
put in for it dwindling every time, I must get back to some other means (like blogging ) to
keep my interest in writing.

Lo! and here I am writing a blog post after months!

Psst... One another thing I realized... In all its bad state with my vocabulary, my brain was very good when it came to finding errors in a document. How much I love criticizing others! ;)

To London

After many days of impatient awaiting, I got my visa and I came to London on 27 May.
Will be here until July 10.

I took my trip to London with Emirates Airlines as many suggested that it was one of the best.
Well, to that, I must say I was not particularly pleased with their service. But possibly it was
because of the vacation season and since the flight was almost full they had no time to attend to the
passengers in the economy class.

Luckily I had a good time as my television set was functioning. I watched the course of the
flight on the screen (they had a downward camera and a forward camera to give us a good picture
of what was below and ahead of us :P ), and spent my flying time with Arvind Adiga's White Tiger.
