No.. this blog is not dead !! … not at least as yet !!
Have been really busy in transit and setting up the house etc after arriving in India and that too with no internet access for all those days .. .. never mind, it has just re assured me that I CAN LIVE without Internet 
… a belief that I had almost lost while I was in the UK !!
Anyways, more information and more posts will follow. But for now, a joy to be back online !
Looks like I was into celebration mood for quite a long time … !!
Yeah, the world never stops and quite a few things have happened since I blogged something meaningful last time and its been long due on my part to put out my thoughts on them in the form of the blog. So here I start ..
One important thing that happened in the mobile world was the launch of Palm Pre mobile phone. The mobile world was never quite stirred up since the launch of the Jesus phone. If you have lived in forest all this while and have not heard about this, so recommend you to jump over Engadget or Gizmodo and read the reviews.
Apple has released the so called next version of iPhone, this time named iPhone 3G S !! Although, looks better than iPhone 3G, I would never swap that with my lovely HTC Touch HD !!!
In the sports world, massive news was obviously the potential transfer of Christiano Ronaldo after Manchester United agreed the world record bid of 80m pounds from Real Madrid. I guess Madrid have gone mad this summer with their spending and I do not see it doing any good for football in the long term ! Anyways, not too much to blame Madrid in this case as the playa himself was never fully committed to United cause and saw his future at United. Only sad part would be to see a prolific goal scorer missing from the starting line up next season. It would be interesting to see who the boss lines up to replace Ronaldo next season. Initially thought Benzema + Ribery combination would be great, but looks like David Villa + David Silva being more realistic target ! Although, I would not mind having Torres in United jersey next season though .. 
Coming on to cricket & India’s exit from the World Twenty20 cup at the hands of England, finally ends my miserable following of supported teams at major events for this season. After United lost to Barcelona and now India thrown out by England makes one wonderfully miserable end of season for me !! My friend has aptly summarized my thoughts on India’s performance against England on his blog and is worth reading here !
Only silver lining though for me was the win of Mr Perfect Roger Federer at the French Open, hats off to Roger for never giving up on the hope of winning at Roland Garros. No one would have been probably more deserving than Roger to be at the position he is at currently. The win surely makes him the greatest player ever to grace the tennis court !
On a personal front, this is my last week in the UK and have been really busy with packing and leaving preparation. The stay has been enjoyable, but looking forward to better time in India. Hopefully will get time to blog in next few days, otherwise will resume my blogging hobby once I am settled in India.
So adios as of now and take care until next post !
So finally within next couple of months my stay in the UK is coming to an end … …
Having stayed here for more or less best part of last 5 years, this had become my second home away from India !
London, where I stayed for all these years been a wonderful experience to say the least. Although not as vibrant as any Indian city (read Pune), London has its own aura about being one of the great cities in the world.
Experiences have been mixed for us during all these years some being kind, welcoming and wonderful whilst some being very cruel and unwelcome!
Some of the good things includes the friends I collected here in the UK that have helped me during all those years. The first school of my daughter and her early early education was really wonderful experience.
Anyways, now I would be looking forward to managing my journey back and reducing my footprint from the UK over next few weeks.
Really looking forward to live a great life back in India and in my own home, I bought 4 years ago but never stayed in !!!
Finally few decisions were made last week and we can look forward to lots of changes in coming weeks for us here in London! Much better than some uncertain life we were experiencing during past few weeks …
Now can look forward to weeks ahead with optimism in the personal life as well as corporate life. Hopefully things will only get better !
Anyways, quick review on the weekend matches. I though the United – Tottenham match showed exactly why we are the Champions of the world .. and I guess I would not be able to summarize it any better than what I facebook’ed immediately after the match ..
… what a stunning comeback from the champions today. I guess God has made football only for such matches.. Glory glory man united..
Waiting for the crunch Arsenal match now on Wednesday, hopefully Chelsea will be put in place by Barcelona by Tuesday and so as Arsenal by Wednesday.
Meanwhile, trying out few new applications on my Windows phone… will post the details about them later ..
Cheerio
Apr 6
Had a week long forceful break from blogging recently due to health issues !
The flu is the most boring disease that can happen to a human. Body ache, muscle pain, back pain and fever are too much to handle at one time and that’s what I have been experiencing since last few days.
Meanwhile, watched a great and a breathtaking match between United & Villa on Sunday, United emerging triumphant in the battle. Watch England, surprisingly, win the one day series in West Indies & South Africa & Australia battle out in the one day the series .. good sport stuff. Only sad part was the win of Liverpool over Fulham …
Anyways, took some time out to rest and back to normal now ..
