day 1 in scot

Hmmm....life in scotland...interesting topic...for a person who has never been here, the concept would be that of a night life, discos, pubs and what not. but reality is far far away from the thoughts we had conjured up in college about life in US/ europe...US part i aint sure but europe...if u havce a lot of money and lot of free time..yeah al lthose things one dreams about when i nschool and college is posisble...but as they say if u r a white collar job guy...DUDE>..you will spend half your life earning and trying to save and by the time you have earned enough to live a lavish life...you would have grown outta it and would just wanna sit back , a scotch in one hand and a cigar in the other readin a novel baskin in the sun...!!sounds like i am describing a painting...!!anyway not beating arnd the bush a lot...
life here...well i flew from blore to chennai on 18th april...the flight was good BA...though the standards of the airlines has gone down since i last flew in it 10 yrs back!!!anyway reached London..the immigration was a cake walk..very courteous guys unlike the indian customs ppl where i have heard stories of major harassment and extortion by those guys..!!anyway from london i flew to my final destination for the time being and for atleast the next half year of my life..!!!EDINBURGH!!
the city is lovely...beautiful and i found it prety much quiet. picked up a conversation with the cab driver who was droppin me to my residence here!!!He said the city aint very quiet but then it was the week after the easter and all were on holiday and hence the quietness!!!anyway reached home...nice little flat..single bedroom,kitchen,hall...fantastic setting..called up parents n anila confirming my arrival!!!then had some dinner and slept away to glory !!didnt want to get up all moody on first day of work in onsite!!!:-)
