My Second Visit to Milton Keynes::: Made A Great Difference to My Life.......

I started my journey back to MK on the 13th of September, 2006 and was there on 14th September, 2006. At around 2200 hours I arrived at 780 (the flat where 3 R’s and I had put up on 1st visit).
Arrived at the doorstep, when near the window as usual I saw 3 beautiful girls looking down at the cab in which I was busy paying the fare. Radhika N and Tejal were already downstairs when I went off the cab with my luggage.
As soon as I took my step towards the entrance, Purvi shouting from her window…. “Hey Chuts (the name by which the 780ians usually call me) is back… kaisi hai tu”. Then the usual girls talk begins here, when Tejal said… “aare Chuts to is baar hep ban ke aayi hai!!!!” and Radhika N adding to it “arre yeh to Chinese boy lag rahi hai” and so this continues, when I reach the hall where Radhika S was waiting…. “Hey kya hai… kya karke aayi hai” and that whole conversation was related to new hair style, which I know did not suit me at all. Then as I was narrating them about the hectic one month stay at Pune, I noticed that I was not feeling that comfortable although it was my second visit and I did not speak much to them on my first visit and for sure I was missing my flat mates in Pune (Neha, Nischitha and Nupur).
But then I continued as I knew I would get used to staying there and would eventually comfort myself with 780ians. As I was settling my things I wept silently missing my parents and my sister, its so painful to be so far away from dear ones.
Next I had to join office, so had my dinner which my flatmates had prepared and went off to sleep. I did not have a sound sleep that day, was really tensed as I really did not want to come back this time. Had already started counting days to return back to India.
But hardly had I known that this visit of mine would be so awesome and I would never want to go back. I enjoyed this time the most: trips and dinners (at 780, at 50 Underwood place and the pani puri sessions at my team mates place) and some real good times spent together with Tejal, Radhika N and Radhika S, just before Tejal left for India.

Too Beautiful A Dream...

Oh it’s dawn!
Awaken by a beautiful dream…
Ah! Hope I was never awake!

The sun rays already visible
Through the curtains slightly pulled
Just to keep my eyes slightly open…

Oh! Let me sleep…
Let me see the beautiful dream again
Reality – it was so far away from it!

I closed my eyes again…
Was I wondering to see the same dream
Again? I really don’t know… how I wish or not!

Was it painful? I asked myself…
The answer is still unanswered.
But, the litl’ I could recall was too beautiful

The small house…
The two little kids playing…
The awesome garden and the endless climbers…

Increased the beauty all the more…
The man standing there… was
I saw: My life to be…

It was unbelievable, was…
Was it true?
Is it real?

Oh! I said myself…
Wake up… wake up…

It’s too beautiful: Only to be a dream!
