My very first day in Brussels..

Luggage lost.. no keys to the apartment (as the security wasn’t informed).. no trace of my roomie (was a saturday so couldnt blame her either).. so WOW.. what a eventful beginning.. in a smelly 3/4th and cotton t at 13 degrees for 2 days, standing right outside the closed door shivering..



Haha after all if everything went off perfectly well it would never have been me..

A day more to go and still wondering..

Learnt from mistakes.. could I ever say that :(

I don’t remember having had any travel planned
a) without the travel coordinator giving up on the rescheduling of the dates of travel
b) without mom getting panic attacks with all the running around for every small thing which I invariably forget till I reach the airport and all the confusion I create as I never reach on time..
c) without creating a total chaos over packing and landing up with extra luggage always.. (and still managing to exclude some of the basic necessities like comb, deo, ofcourse once forgot my wallet.. and so on..)
d) without having dark circles for lack of sleep with the over excitement of the travel and still having not planned on what to see, where to go and stuff like this

and I could just have an endless list..

the reason for writing all this was the next travel that I have on schedule.. Belgium..

so as they say learn from your mistakes.. I did or think I did this time.. I ensured I created a check list for items to be packed.. ensured I had sufficient time to shop for the travel (as this was a long stay).. and that I planned my travel in such a way that I could get an extended weekend to pack my bags and also a week to cross check that I have not left anything out..

But with me, can things ever work the way they are planned??.. my dates changed 4 times in a week, causing tickets to be booked then cancelled, then rebooked then cancelled, then rerebooked and again cancelled.. and then finally after having to pay pretty much for all the cancellations finally getting forced with the dates.. This wasn’t just it.. the shopping is still far far incomplete with the rains, car servicing, birthday parties and events which suddenly got planned and I couldn’t refuse attending any of it..

And then the extended weekend.. could only manage getting the bags out and land up in a total mess of my room with heaps of clothes just seen hanging out from every corner of my bed (my bed is 6ft by 5.5ft in width)..

So here I am with only 3 days to go and everything from packing to scheduling still way off unplanned.. mom is already under a state of panic and me still chilling and writing this blog.. :)

Magic of alphabets..

The ‘h’ followed by the ‘i’.. and need not say what flows when the two meet..

its simply the magic of these alphabets that lead to endless hours of talk and some amazing relationships.. :)

P.S. this post is courtesy the sudden increase in the frequency of these two alphabets
