Diwali @ GMT ...

We bunked second half of the office on Friday and attacked Anil’s house. Verity of festival delicious items were waiting for us. We were not able to sit, talk … I never ate so much at a time in my life J … Thanks to Vani for such a great Diwali lunch. We started playing dart after that … It was so much of fun … We played till 8 in the evening. We started firing crackers. I was amazed by the crackers sound in that area, I felt like I am in Bangalore. I am personally against the crackers, but this time I enjoyed it J … Joy at the Aditi’s face in the light of a rain pot made me to forget about the pollution … We grown up people think too much J

Aditi …

Next day morning we all got into a ferry at Westminster to Greenwich.  Ferry sailing on Thames River towards Greenwich passed by London Eye, London Bridge and numerous buildings. Commentator was explaining about the buildings. I am not interested … I was busy clicking photos. Thames never impressed me, for me banks of this river looks like showcasing the wealth of this country. From where all this wealth came in? Something pokes inside me. Not only this place, if you walk around in London you can feel economic richness of this country, something pokes inside me… English people like History a lot. For each and every thing they have a story. They always like to leave in past. No doubt they ruled the world, but now they have fall way down from their peak. They try to find themselves in the lost empire. Sometime I feel they just hype the history and build stories because they are not strong enough at present.

We entered Greenwich Park … Beautiful! ... I can’t explain … Photos below are the proof for it. There is a line drawn on top of a small hill – GMT … Nothing great.  Time museum is very good it seem… somehow I am not big fan of museums and history …J For me what matters is beauty of the place. The garden around this place is really good. We played volley ball, football, monkey game with a plastic ball on the green carpet J . It will be dark here by 5 itself. We walked over a walk bridge over Thames on the way back. Nice outing.

Sunday we went to play badminton. We played for two hours. My hands are still painingJ. We went to a temple nearby in the evening. After long time I enjoyed ‘Bhajan’! But some rituals of that temple made us sit there for half an hour! It was punishment for all of usJ.

Onsite Week Ends with nice gang is Fun!!!

Cheers!
