Finally!

Posted on April 29, 2009

Bunch of Flowers that Alka, Amrit and Vasu gave to Me

Finally, I have a passport that is valid for next 10 years and got the UK visa too, today. They said it would take a minimum of 4 working days (I have been to UK before so the processing time is less, otherwise they say 10 working days minimum) and I got it on the forth day squarely. So next week, for a short while, I am off to UK. I don’t know why, but I still want to keep the fingers crossed!
PS. This bunch of flowers were delivered at my office address and were such a pleasant surprise. When I got them I told the person who was carrying it that surely is not meant for me! But they were and it just made my day.

    Prashanth we did exchange a few messages but things look too hectic on both the ends.Neeraj, thank you so much. Thanks Rajesh, I am trying to catch up on so many blogs.N, I do not have too much time and more importantly I still feel quite reluctant to spend in pounds :(Hobo, I will remember that :DParadox, the formalities did give me a lot of head ache! I am glad they are over finally.Ipain maybe some other time, do not have too much scope on this trip, but is Slovakia close to UK or what?
