Life at High Wycombe was like living in a typical English countryside. Rural landscape combined with modern lifestyle, what more could a parched Indian from Delhi ask for! Living most of my life in the greenest but high-on-humid state of Kerala (India), the only difference that I felt in the UK was the temperature. Its cold here. The summers are at least 20-25 degrees less than the average Indian temp, which is normally at 40 degrees during the months of March-April. Its a big city. And its an advantage if you have anything that has got wheels - a car, a bicycle, skates or even a skateboard. Forget your stilettos if you want to save the cab fares in this city. Its simply huge.... In fact , the city which came into being in 1960's is still partially occupied with some empty offices, flats and more new building. I have only heard of  the United States being HUGE in all aspects...I think its applicable to this city too.

Free Things

Free... eeeeeee ... A word that makes me dizzy with all that adrenaline rushing through my otherwise pinchy conscience, and making me sit up and ask - What? Where? When? [Not keen on who and how part, I can manage that :)] I admit - I' m a big Freebies fan! So coming back to the point, while I was looking for some free stuff, I came across a report on BBC, which says that as the media moghul Mr Rupert Murdoch earned less profit this season, so he is planning to charge online customers for news content across all its websites. I say, Mr Murdoch, keep the change, it will help you buy some 'piece of mind'.
