Weekly dose

Well first of all a complaint to Priyanka. Why the hell on earth is the WiFi not working only on my phone??? I feel discriminated... Sue ju! JK, but its not been working for the last 2-3 days

It has been quite a busy weekend this one, had to do a lot of hard work as we were shifting my cousins house in the pouring rain of Surrey with a warning of storm and a possible Tsunami threat, 21 Dec is not far, hmmm! The north western coast of B.C* suffered 3 consecutive earthquakes on Saturday to a magnitude of even up to 7.7, though it scared the shit out of the people I was completely unaware until I read that in a news.

So having received all the cards whether it be the PR(Permanent residence) card or the care card I kinda feel so free to move around because all I care about was the care card and now that I've got it I don't care about anything..:P. I haven't had so many cards in my wallet before.

I just came from a tennis match and I still feel very enthusiastic and full of energy. Though I'm just a beginner but I certainly feel like I played my best tennis ever, it was raining and it was raining winners from my side, we were playing in a deuce court and we just nailed it! Won the five set game 4-1 having lost the opening set and come from 8-4 down in the 5 and last challenged set to win it 11-9. Having been a great fan of Rafael Nadal I finally got the opportunity to celebrate the way he does, lying flat on the ground with a relief and it was raining. It was a great feeling.

Planning to go to Whistler next week, Lets just hope that the weather remain clear and so does our thinking.

*Always stands for "British Columbia"

Like A Boss!

Feeling a lot excited, relieved and tired. Finally got my Canadian driving license too!..:) Though it's a class 7 license which means that I've a few restrictions too, but still I can legally drive anytime on the road unlike before when I was driving on my expired U.A.E license..:P *Ssshhhh*. I just can't wait to go back to Dubai just because I wanted to renew my Dubai's license as soon as I can.

Further talking about the test, It was at one of the most busiest and the most difficult place to drive on in B.C(it only means "British Columbia" here). It was in North Vancouver, the area lying next to mountains, highly populated and congested with very complicated streets.

So I was just driving around Vancouver today in the joy of getting my new license, though I covered almost every single street around the city but I was still just driving around. A cousin of mine who drives his own taxi in Vancouver took me around the city, Believe me he can even fail GPS in the city. So I went to UBC for the first time, Its BIG! It's more like a city, we just went on the outer boundary of it and it was still around 10 km from one end to another, but I still don't understand the Idea of having a Nude beach in a University(Planning to enroll there...:P) and the sunset view from Stanley is just something worth watching.

Meanwhile I just came to know that the SRK starrer movie "Pardes", which was based on an Indian family living in LA was actually mostly shot in Vancouver! and for almost 15 years of my life I've been imagining that as LA and looking for that bridge in the song "Yeh Dil" on the maps of LA! which actually is Alex Fraser bridge, Because it was the first suspension bridge I ever saw. Cheater Cocks!

Ohh and I'm the only guy in the family to have a driving license of 3 different countries now! That feels great!
Now that song got stuck in my head. Aaaaahhhhhhh!
Good night everyone!

It's raining bhangra

First of all this album promo has got stuck in my mind and I can't wait to download it..:P, But sadly it's gonna release on November 1st .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHkCLP9X3LQ&feature=g-all-u
I love almost every single track in it but "Chunni", "Truck" and "Ranjha" are just all over my head.

The very moment I wrote the topic it started raining again. Rain here is like guests in India, you can expect it to be unexpected. I feel like heaven when it rains coz I'm a rain lover, but here the rain is different from the way it rains in India or even Dubai(Hardly though). I mean no thunders, no lightning, It's like a song without beat in it. I need bass!!

Also driving becomes a lot difficult here once the clouds start pissing off unlike India where it doesn't matter whether it's raining, fog or whatever it is.

Moving on, these days we(me and my friends at university) are quite busy doing bhangra practices for the event which is on 6th November. It's been more than 3 weeks now since we started but all we have done is 3 minute of it and we still have "only" 7 minute of it left to think about, practice it and perfect it. But to what we have done till now looks muchhhhh more energetic than I ever did before.

And sorry to those who were asking for my recent pics. I haven't captured one yet, will try to hire someone to take a picture or two, next post maybe....

Btw went to this bhangra competition last week and it was worth it! we had to walk 2 km because we took a wrong bus, but somehow we made it before the main performances and the energy in the theater was worth experiencing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvD2aYKZKRw
P.S: Don't expect me in the video and watch the last 2 minutes

A tough weekend

OMG! It's just early October and the winter's already here, The minimum temperature for the night is expected to be 4 degrees everything around me is freezing cold.

Finally done with the English essay and submitted it too *relief*. I felt it even more difficult and nervous then our English board exam back in 12th, and last but not the least we had to present it! and I realized it when I entered the classroom.

Let's just move on, because I never talk about studies, I call it the most boring part of my life. So last weekend me and a few of my cousins we were all together and did this adventurous and highly risky thing here in British Columbia "Cutting trees". We actually didn't cut them the whole it was just about cutting a few branches that were obstructing the view. 

Cutting a tree here is a far bigger crime than cutting a man. If caught or reported while cutting a tree you might end up being in jail and with a minimum penalty of $5000. Considering that in our mind it was a really tough job, to make it even more tougher the branches were almost like 40 feet high and one of us have to climb all the way up through a steel stair which wasn't even perfectly placed.

For all the good reasons that guy wasn't me..:) but my job got worse when I had to climb all the way up holding the saw which was turned on in one hand and try to stick to the stair by other which eventually started shaking because of me shivering and the Saw vibrating too. Omg! It was very scary, I don't have my health card, So even a small injury could have cost a lot (I was thinking about that the whole way up)..P 

That's one of my cousin who was forced to climb up the tree just because he's got a couple of photos of him on Facebook where he was climbing trees.
P.S: Don't share everything on Facebook for everything there's twitter....:P 

Moving on I have a class 7 driving test this Friday in Vancouver and I doesn't even know the location, the time and the area where I'm gonna take my test. I'm screwed!

My Personal experience: From recent experiences I've realized that we must not extend our hand to shake hands with others who have come to you even or try to hug them. Feels awkward when they don't do the same in reply. I mean it can happen with everyone...

Tata!
*Confused about the topic now*
