In Room No. 14

It so happens to me every time I am up for some important work or got some deadlines where I am supposed to not miss even a single minute of my life, I hold the pen (in this case, my blog). It's like before starting something, you need that drive, that rush and that, that I get it here. It's like peace, I don't know how to explain that, but It feels good here..very good.
So, this post actually has no particular agenda or topic, I just wanted to write. It's a holiday today, as it's Saturday. From my room in Walkley, I have a perfect view of the city, I can see distant roads, the cars running on them and further ahead the mountains, the dense clouds and the swaying trees. Sheffield is beautiful, serene and peaceful. I had thought about roaming in the city today as I had the bus pass and the time, but was not feeling really due to body ache and stuff and also because I am very lazy so I decided to stay back and watch South Park. It's a crazy show, man! Eric Cartman sure kicks ass!!
I have already spent 1.5 months here and the same is left ahead. I really like this place. Next week we are planning to go to London. Though I have already been to London before (In 2012) but it would be a good idea to visit again I 'm sure as few of my friends have planned to meet up there. Lets see! The next weekend after London is planned for Scotland, I am really hoping and wishing for that as I have heard a lot about it. Lets see that too.  
Work is going good, made some really crazy friends here, there are almost 10 french interns in my lab and its been great working and hanging out with them especially catching Pokemon with 'em.. I am planning to buy a scooter like Simon and take back to India, and instead of cycling, I 'd go to my lab in scooter.
Simon said he bought it at 50 GBP which is quite reasonable. Apart from all this, I am really enjoying cooking sessions here. Back in India, at my home, I was never expected to cook something as I was considered a disaster of kitchen. Here, as mom or nobody is here to stop me or raise eyebrows, I am a master chef of my own. You wouldn't believe how awesome I am with this cooking thing. I have made pizza, rajma, parathe, pakore and so many delicious thing. Okay thanks to the internet for being there with me but I made all of them tasty and I am so proud of myself. I only had this doubt on me whether I could cook like normal people/girls and this UK trip has certified me as a good cook. I am lovin' it. Anyways, sun has hid behind somewhere in the clouds and it's perfect time for an elachi chai.

Ciao
