This is a mail I sent my friends the day I reached London for a 2 week holiday... Then I decided I will blog my travel log! :P So here it is... Day 1. Touch down. What will follow in the coming weeks is the continuing adventures that will come my way during my stay in London. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have as much fun reading my experience as I did in experiencing them :)

Reached here at 8.30pm local time (1.30am IST) was awake for almost 20 hours straight! :) was fun, and very tiring.. Dubai airport was simply magnificent... if nuthing else, one shud go there just to see the airport! :) We waited there for almost 3 hours... during which my best friend and i had a rocking time... (am not referring to you... :P) i was talking abt my camera :D:D hehe as if i'd gone just to the airport for a vacation, i was clicking away to glory...! briliant place! will write in detail abt it later when i come back to india.
Reached home, ate and slept around 11.30-12 i think... around 5 IST... :D I was not so excited abt the time zone difference thingy... but wow!! when we were in Dubai, we changed our watch timings first... :) actually, mom dad and kichu did.. i dint.. :) me somehow still keepin Indian time only.. :P Dunt want to change! :P hmmm and when we heard the announcement tat we were landing in London Heathrow airport at 7.48pm, trust me, i thought they made a mistake.. they must have said 7.48 am!!! it was that bright outside!! like 2.30 pm in ASB campus... :)
:)
8.40 am now :) and 1.10 pm in india... like u guessed, me still not over my amazement at the different time zones... yesterday was literally, factually and truly, the LONGEST day of my life.. :) i think this is the maximm a person can love one's life... ofcorse u must know that wat my life seem the most lovable is so much thinking, apart from living the moment.. :) during the travel, i had a lot to ponder upon, many memories, many conversations... many people... events, happenings, places... and then the flooding of new experiences.. international airport, foriegn faces, new languages... kids in bright clothes, funky hair-do's, brilliant colours, the hustle of a busy world, the worry of ensuring all bags are there... a check, a quick re check, one more check, last check...checks and more checks!! :)
Will be heading out in an hour or so.. my cousin, venkat( remember for reference in future mail:) ), with whom we are staying, and dad have gone out to get some bread and other "English" breakfast.. :P hehehe
I hope i have not bored you... i'm planning to keep updating u almost everyday... maybe every alternate day... :P you are required to tell me if u want to unsubscribe from this service! :D:D:D

"yesterday was literally, factually and truly, the LONGEST day of my life"What an usage of the "long day", probably the first time I'm seeing it in a positive/cheerful manner.
Seems like the fun began from the commencement of the journey :)
Long journeys are always have been the times for a lot of reminiscence, nice to see it hold true for many people.
Have a great lady time [:P]
