Guy Fawkes day

Hello!!

So the fifth of November is celebrated as the Guy Fawkes day in the UK. It celebrates the anniversary of the discovery of a plot organized by Catholic conspirators to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London in 1605.It's celebrated by having a bonfire and also some fireworks. I had not celebrated this occasion in the past years but just viewed the fireworks from my bedroom window. This year I was lucky enough to attend a bonfire night and view the spectacular fireworks. It was absolutely freezing and you could tell winter is on its way if not already here. I wrapped up warm and walked to the venue with my cousin and her family. There were many eager children with glow sticks and necklaces running around. After waiting for a while for the preparation of the fireworks, it started. It was such a spectacular view. I have attached a video I shot with my iphone and am sorry if it's the best of quality videos. I do hope you enjoy it. Did you celebrate bonfire night too?

Till next time - P 

I did it!

Paragliding was always something I wanted to do ever since I heard of it. I had the opportunity to do it when I was there during Summer 2013. At just around £50, it is well worth it price. It starts off with meeting up at Lakeside, Pokhara. Oh yeah, it is in Nepal ( just realized I missed the important details) You are taken in a very adventuous type Jeep with your fellow tourist/brave at heart people. After about a 30mins drive, you reach Sarangkot hill, where the take off takes place. and Oh boy! the fear or for some the adrenaline grasps you here. I was not so scared, surprisingly as I normally am a wimp at stuff like this. We were all kitted and had all the safety talk done, we took off. It was a splendid view from up there. You could see the beautiful city of Pokhara with the view of the Fewa Lake as well. It also helps that Pokhara is not as polluted as Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal.
Whether or not I would do it again, I am not sure but if I had the company then I definitely would. Oh btw, all this was done with Sujata. I wouldnt have been able to embark on this adventure without my bestie Sujata. Really glad, she was there, so we could scream together hehe. I have attached some photos to give you a bit of what I saw and also a video. It doesnt do justice to the actual experience though. So go on then, what you waiting for? Book that flight to Nepal, and start your adventure. If only going on holiday, would be as spontaneous as that. Cheers guys!

 Just before take off, notice the nervous smile on my behalf. Top: Ralph Lauren Shoes: Converse Trousers: Asda cotton trousers.

A short video to give your a taster of it.

Birthdays!

                                                                                        

Hello readers,
Luckily, both Sujata and my birthday falls in the same month. Its only a couple of days apart. I turned 22 on recently and Sujata is not far behind now. Wow 22, feel quite old almost matured.. OK maybe not, well how do you know you have matured? hmmm.. Lets leave it at that for now. So after the  daily early morning tasks and breakfast. I headed into town determined to find the perfect dress for the dinner later on the night. Looking around the high street shops I couldn't find anything suitable. I was looking for a maxi dress with an elegant look and not at all flashy. I found the perfect dress in House of Fraser under the label Jack . 

Right enough about the dress! I got the cake from Swinky's sweets . The cake was amazing.
This past year has gone by so quickly its ridiculous how time flies. So yeah, that's what I got up to on my birthday. I will do a few more posts soon. Thanks for reading!
