I'm kinda so excited to write this post that I've been planning it for the last week or so but that lazy part of me stops me from doing it when I think about writing 2-300 words out of nothing.
Well First of all my flight wasn't as bad as I was expecting it. It was very boring but I wasn't tired enough to feel like jumping off the plane or not to wake up for 2-3 days, probably because I was excited about the new place but for a moment I was shocked when I landed and I saw the freakin 1990s airport with same model cars moving around the runway and all. I was like am I in Canada or in Somalia?
Talking about now, I'm having quite a great time here, got a lot of great new friends all thanks to Priyanka (Why my auto correct shows it paprika??)...:P and a few of them of my type as they can understand my double meaning talks. It was tough in the first week when I was totally messed up with locations and I was trying to change from my lifestyle in Dubai to a new lifestyle here in Canada (Especially adapting to the weather) But its all good now just apart from University.
The best thing about this place is that I feel like being in Developed Punjab. Almost half of the population is of Punjabis and I guess the second language is Punjabi too! Sounds surprising but it is! And the best thing is to watch old people sit in the park and play "Seep" (card game) in groups.
So all I've been doing here is trying few new things like playing tennis, trying to adapt to woody stuff (wooden houses, they are very noisy), to adapt to the accent and to drive a lot around the city and to drive slow(most difficult part). Oh and I go to University too! once a week and that too I've a class with Priyanka and Deepika its the English (Hogayi padhayi) you can expect the rest with me being the way I was in TCS. Sunir lal was better than this teacher though. I miss him for the fights we use have.
Some of my friends have Bhangra in the University tomorrow and I'm not in it! but I'm still so excited about it. Excited to see them do it in pairs with "Female partner" and I'm like CRAP! I should have been here much more earlier..:D
Well I haven't been to many places around here so I can't differentiate much between this place and Dubai but to what I feel I think this place has a great weather apart from the fact that it rains around 9 months (Reminds me of a poem. remember?) a year and its much greener here, Apart from that I don't feel anything special about Canada and also when I tell people that I'm from Dubai and I tell them the facts about Dubai they are basically stunned for a moment or two and at first they can't believe it.
And yea I've found a few cricket clubs too and might contract with one of the clubs next season. Already excited about that.
Last but not the least I love Dubai!
Tata!
