New Adventure...New stories...New life

I see since I did not write my next destination, everyone believes I am back in Nigeria.

Now I am close to the Nigerian radar but not any where on the continent. I actually wished I am back on the continent, but I guess Africa is not yet ready for me.

I left India on Apr 12 and landed in the city of Bonn, Germany. 

Bonn will be my home for the next months or maybe years. For now I have a 6months work contract which can be extended to a year after which I may or may not continue to live in Bonn. Also I want to go back to school for my masters, if not this year then next year. In short, I would say my future is in God's hand...they say Man proposes and God disposes.

Funny, Germany was not on my radar...I actually planned to stay in Asia, my eye was on Malaysia, Singapore or the Middle East. But as God would have it, that I ended up in the country

It's been 14days now, I left India.
My life is different, the world is strange to me.
I am back in a world where people are open, openly talking about relationships, PDA.
I am adjusting back to normal life, I would say I am actually finding it difficult to adjust to normal life.

The next couple of months is going to be a roller-coast ride.
Come with me on this ride.
There will be travels, I just need to sort out myself here and once that is done, I shall be dusting my travelling bag again.

The Indian stories are not over, will continue sharing them...actually there is still so much more I would be sharing.

It's a beautiful day today, summer is coming, I am not a fan of cold neither the sun.
I never imagined I would one day stay wishing for the sun, it was 39 degree hot in Hyderabad when I left but since I go here I have been wishing and praying for sun. Luckily I would not have to endure the cold for long, summer is coming,

It is a long weekend, Monday is work free for us, today I will be visiting the city of Koln (Cologne) with friends, it is close to Bonn or more like the sister city of Bonn. Unfortunately I left my camera's battery in India, pictures will be taken with my phone, till I get another camera or get my battery sent to me from India.

Liebster and Elevens

I know I am so late to this...don't blame me.
I have been busy moving across continents and having orishi rishi issues, now I am here doing this.
I changed my blog tittle and blogger has refused to update my lists, so if you follow me, you will have to delete the old blogname and add the new one so that you can get my post updates.

So since I am late to this and I see practically everyone has been tagged for this, I think I will pass on the rules.

Well if you have less than 200 followers and you always sight my comments on your blog and has not been tagged by anyone, you are hereby mandated to do this...

So Toinlicious decided to dash me the Liebster award...thank you and you do well.

Madam BSNC and EmaLeecious  also decided to tag me in the Elevens which has been moving around blogsville also. This one too I don't know who to tag as most of you has been tagged by other people. I will just answer the questions asked.


11 things about me:
I don't think there is any thing new about me, since I last wrote the 25things about me on this blogs. Let's start.

1. If you don't know, I spent the last 17months of my life in India
2. I am an introverted extrovert...don't be deceived by all the post, somewhere deep down the introvert still lives.
3. I love travelling...India awakened this almost dead interest of mine...very soon I shall dust my travelling bag and start travelling again.
4. I still hope and pray to join the Air force or Navy someday...No, I don't intend to fly planes or do any serious military work, maybe join their HR department, I just have a thing for the uniform.
5. I am a shoepaholic...50% of my shoes are still in India, my hand luggage was filled wit shoes.
6. I am the first child of my mother, third child of my father and the only child between them.
7. I am too straight-forward and blunt for my own good sometimes...I just wish I could just zip the mouth once in a while
8. Human Resources is my thing...the passion is strong.
9. I am a sucker for friendship..friends excite me, give me hope, make me talk endlessly...I am indeed blessed with beautiful friends
10. I love dancing, love music...do not have any favorite genre of music, if is it soothing to the ear then I love it.
11. I am  pessimistic and a procrastinator... if only I can just relax and have faith sometimes.

The beginning of an end

Days to go and I am out of the Incredible land.
The journey has been incredibly adventurous.
A lot of stories yet unshared.
I hope to find time soon to share all them stories.
Thank you all for travelling with me on this journey.

The future is looking beautiful.
The future by God's grace will work out as planned.

Right now, I am thinking of how to turn my 3 big travel luggages and 2 big boxes into 30kg of luggages which Emirates will allow me carry.
My friend said I lived like I would never leave India again. I was just buying everything left right centre.
My flatmates and I made sure to make ourselves comfortable in India.


Pictures are actually just half of my stuff and I am staying over at a friend's place for the next few days.
