Healed in the woods

Most of the people in science advised me to take a long break after the Phd, to de-stress, relax and to prepare for the next level of stress .But with growing socio-economic pressure in Paris, I took the job within one week after submitting the thesis. I wish the whole world should be “France” in their social security system. In spite of being a foreigner there, I enjoyed lot of social benefits, including their unemployment benefits. Thank you France!! But few French people may not like that, paying their tax money to a foreigner, specially a strange friend I had, Within few minutes, they made me feel so alienated with the country which I was feeling second home. With such silly socio-economic problems and with many other friends to heal me with their love, nature did this attack on me.
I moved to this beautiful house and with wonderful people. I was totally engulfed by the warmth of green woods, fresh oxygen, and caring people making me comfortable in a foreign land.
I walked this road to work,
over the dew drops in the grass, sometimes turned myself into a kid, removed my shoes, to splash the dew and rain drops collected over the grass. Thus began my Tsunami of bliss in the woodend..more..

Tsunami of bliss

I am back… with a doctoral degree now. Yesterday me and my aloneliness had a conversation, why there is no antonym for “natural calamity”, that may be the right word for what I am going through right now, something like Tsunami of bliss. How few changes in life can erase off all the unnecessary worries and stress. With a new job in Cambridge, said final bye to Paris after my defence, as usual was pampered with lots of gifts and love from my Paris friends. More stories soon...till then let me find out the antonym for “natural calamity”.

Live from UK!

Finally my long term dream to visit UK came true today, Crossed the English channel under the water (first time, I was not scared to be underwater) . It is overwhelming to be in my favourite Europe, but still I can understand what people around me are talking and to understand all the signs written around. As soon as I landed, I was expecting a long immigration check as happened during my trip to USA and Canada but I was able to pass 'like' an European, and London also treated me well with a delicious healthy meal at Pret A Manger! (Thanks Micha, for this healthy suggestion) . You may have to wait for few more days to see some touristy photographs of UK!
