Of Snows and Hot chocolate.

yummy....

"Get up!Get your camera! Let's go!" "Snow, Snow!"

London 28th December 2000

Snuggled deep under a duvet enjoying a creamy hot chocolate with a dash of strawberry marshmallows together with a hint of cinnamon powder...I could not believe that I was actually touching English soil! I was actually in England!After few years of struggling to make it into reality...Now, I am actually here! A few lines from Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier" came into my mind:

"In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home"

The poem has opened up my eyes to the beauty of England and to tell you frankly, I use the poem as my internal motivation to seek for a place to study in England. I could really picture the pride he felt about being English!
