I have reached Leeds on 2nd August. Exactly 29 days passed by the time of writing this post. Leeds falls into the Midlands, precisely West-yorkshire. English weather, even in August carries a chill around, probably reminding the people around that summer is about to end.
You cannt' resist but observe the spacious dwellings and well organised parking arrangements, (especially coming from Indian cities, quite a contrast). UK is quite a place. The food, football, folks every thing and every one you come across carry a distinctly familiar undercurrent. The tallest building in Leeds is the 32 storied bridge waters buildling. It is close to the city center - a 15 min walk.
The city center is a lively place. The universities, shopping centers, Train station, bus stand all make the experience satiating. I didnt' get a chance to go around the city all by myself, but looking forth to do so. Will add more details in later posts.
Reality is a perception. Perceptions are not always based on facts, and are strongly influenced by illusions. Inquisitiveness is hence indispensable

About Me
- Swaroop
- Well for a start, I dont' want to!. Yes I am reclusive, no I am not secretive; Candid? Yes; Aspergers? No :). My friends call me an enthusiast, my boss calls me purist, I call myself an explorer, to summarise; just an inquisitive child who didnt'learn to take things for granted. For the sake of living, I work as a S/W engineer. If you dont' know what it means, turn back right now.
