A Memoir - This Month Last Year - May 2013

Hi Guys,

Last year May was one of the best months of my life, not only I moved into my own apartment but also I received the great news of winning a HP laptop from Indiblogger just one day before actually moving into the new home. Buying a home is the most important dream of our lives and seeing it getting fulfilled was the most grateful moment of Universe. 

My blog posts was random due to the Airtel broadband connection taking numerous calls to get it transferred and N number of calling everyone till the time they actually made it work going past all the reasons they had. 

1.Photo Walk - Khajuraho - A weekend trip in Pics- We had this lovely trip to Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh on Jan 26th and thought of sharing the beauty of temples and place with everyone. One of the most lovely trip with one of my friend from MBA days and his wife. My daughter enjoyed a lot. Also, it was my first long trip on Indian Railways since many years. Check it out!

2. Wimbledon, United Kingdom - On a walk - Wimbledon is one of the most beautiful places in London with a long tennis history. I did went to the place a month before the start of the actual tennis action so that I can reach the place real quick when I go for the match day. Try it!

3. 3 Things my daughter has taught me? - A blog post for the PARLE-G website where I shared my feeling about what I have learned from my daughter? It was posted on their website maintained by Kiran Manral. 

4. My Gourmet Indian Kitchen Party with ITC Chef's - Another Indiblogger contest with sure shot ITC's food packets and they did sent me some packets before just for reviewing purposes. I weaved a story around the same and ordered more stuff which I still use in the form of chutneys and rice masalas. 

5. WeChat with the people I admire - New way to Connect - Another contest by Indiblogger and I wrote about 5 persons whom I love and admire a lot. I really need to think a lot about to narrow it down to 5 people whom I really like. 

Other than these posts, I reviewed several books and goodies which I received or purchased earlier. 

Overall, May 2013 was worth all the efforts of setting up a new home, getting addresses corrected at all the places - bank accounts, internet, mobile connections etc etc. It was tiring but it was worth the effort of moving into your own abode where you don't need to pay rent other than EMI on loan. 

Cheers!!!

Wimbledon, United Kingdom - On a walk

Hi Guys,

Here is another walking trip to the All England's Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon Village from the nearest Tube station. This is a trip during a non-event day and will post the event day pics in my next blog post.

This is the Borough of the Wimbledon

This is the map of the Wimbledon Park featuring some tennis courts, a small golf court, good lawns, a lake etc. It was the longest walk ever across any park. The other longest walk can be of Hyde Park in Central London.













These are the tennis courts I am talking about. Yes, it indeed is the budding ground to motivate locals to perform well against USA players.

This is the walk that I am talking about. This is one of the best entries in any park and really makes you walk the park again and again. You feel that you are walking the aisle of your marriage steps.

 This is the lake on one side of the Wimbledon Park.

This is the Golf Course just opposite the All England's Tennis Courts.

 This is the first look of the stadium.

 This is what it is...wow!

 The names of all participating tennis stars with results are displayed for the last year's event.

The famous Rolex watch to keep the timing at Centre Court and other courts too at Wimbeldon.

 This is Sir John "Fred" Perry - he won the Wimbledon Championship for UK.

 The world famous symbol of Wimbledon. It is shown repeatedly on TV during the event if you have seen some matches.

 This is the last tube station on that particular line.

This is the shopping complex and is names after CentreCourt as in Wimbledon Club. It features a lot of branded shops and also has a good food court featuring Pizza Hut etc.

Thanks Guys, I hope you have liked the view at Wimbledon.

Do comment.

Regards & Cheers!!!
