Flight Details : Kingfisher Airlines, 29th June,12 50 pm departure time from India
Life is not the same as you always think of, it always take twist and turn, same happens with me and I landed first time outside India..
Saying bye bye to my mummy and papa and entering into the T3 Airport and after some time I was inside the plane and what I had done in 9 hours I too don’t know, just I passed the time anyhow but somewhere inside I was thinking about my future plans or bla bla and then the air hostess announced that we had reached Heathrow airport and now you all can make you way out towards the Heathrow Airport.
When I was coming out of the plane at Heathrow airport, I was so confused and lots of thoughts were running in my mind.. was little bit nervous and excited too but after half an hour I able to successfully check out from Heathrow Airport and after that the real struggle started, I was waiting for my taxi driver and I was finding no sign of him.. lot of people were standing outside with name plates in their hand and I was reading each name plate in the hope that somewhere I found my name also but it didn’t happened.. then finally waiting for 15-20 minutes I took help from one of the uncle and called to my taxi driver and then in next 15 minutes he reached where I was standing and when he asked are you bansal, Ankur bansal.. I have got sigh of relief.. I felt like that I have won the Olympic gold medal… after meeting to him all my nervousness and tension went away.. now I was a relaxed man… and then in few seconds we were out of the airport and I was on London roads..but I was so tired that when I went to the sleep in between my eyes got opened but I was so tired mentally and physically that I just too lazy to make my eyes open and again I went in to the sleeping mode and when after some time I realised that I will be entering in the Ipswich then I started to looking towards the roads and then I got call from Vikrant and I informed him that in few mins I will reached to my Place i.e 21,ISHAM PLACE . After reaching there I met to my so called flat mate Jegdis(cool dude Jags as I came to know later) and then I had dinner and slept as according to me more tougher days are waiting for me and specially the next day.
And then next day I woke up early and got ready by 7:30 am as lot of anxiety was there in my mind and when I reached office lots of things were running in my mind at that time, what will be the atmosphere and how people works here but after a day or two, I just started feeling like that it same like India and only one difference that you are earning in pounds and you are sitting with client.
On the first day I went to Ipswich School Cricket ground for playing cricket representing the team ‘Smiling Crocs’, it was fun but people were just enjoying in shorts and t-shirt and I was really feeling cold when I was standing in the ground and I told to myself Welcome to UK Boss.. In few days you will also be used to this types of cold winds and now I am really used in 15 days of my stay in UK.
And then next day we had get together at Vikrant’s house, awesome dishes made by Bhabhi, total fun we all had and then came to room at 12 in the midnight and then slept off as waiting for nice two days called as Saturday and Sunday.And then came the weekend, I was alone at my flat and so roam around local Ipswich market and exploring the roads and ways to reach home and town center and back to docs and then back to home, and when I was roaming looking here and there as lot of firangi people around you and watching some goris just give treat to your eyes.
And had Saturday lunch and dinner at Aayushi’s and Isha’s home respectively, so still I was away from cooking and already completed my 3 whole days in Ipswich.Then on Sunday, in the afternoon I decided to cook my lunch and then I had prepared biryani for myself… and then Sunday also went casually with rest n roaming around docs!!!!
But I have to say staring four days of my Onsite experience was good and I know lot of things will be going to be happened in the future and that happened also but that I will write in my next blog…
As now i have to sleep and wake up in the morning and have to go to the office!!!!!
