You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer

Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from.
And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi.
Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics...
Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world!

The trip so far...

Right now in Finland and loving it so far.Its been almost four weeks and I will be here till next Sunday.Since this is my first time in a foreign country (having not been to Nepal even)...I was expectedly very very elated when I first got to hear about my trip from my manager.The whole of December was spent in frenzied preparations right from the clothes to the shoes to anything that would help me get through this 'trial by ice'(as one colleague put it ) and I thought of putting up a short post about my plans but could not get around to do it.But it is not as cold as I thought it would be(Apparently Finland is having its warmest winter ever recorded) but its beautiful when it snows!:

I would be doing a travelogue kinda post in some time as Falstaff says:
'the whole point of all this travel is to blog about it afterwards'. :-)
I would also be visiting Paris for some days.So till then....... Au revoir






PS:
It has been a month packed with some pleasant , strange and truly bizarre experiences.Today I made this:

That's Spaghetti for you ,with chopped onions and crushed tortilla chips(not visible) and the sauce is (hold your breath) Rasam! - made from MTR Rasam mix!!
Ah! the travails of Single South Indian Vegetarian men abroad or why do we lose so much weight there.

Zeppelin


I just love.adore.worship.idolize these guys.Nobody else comes close-and would ever come close.

Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didnt want me no more,
I open my front door hearing my back door slam,
You must have one of them new fangled,
New fangled back door man
Since Ive been loving you,

Im about to lose my worried mind
