I’m supposed to be leaving for London next Sunday. Tickets have been booked. So has accomodation. All the shopping has been done. There remains just one small hitch – the visa.
The people at my office there applied for the work permit REALLY late because of which they got the work permit real late and it is yet to reach me. and with the spate of holidays (today – good friday; tomorrow – holi; day after – sunday) i can’t expect to get the permit before monday. i had told my HR to send the thing by express courier but unfortunately that hasn’t happened. so my travelling to england is now contingent on getting the visa on time…
nevertheless, i’m assuming that i’ll be getting the visa on time and am looking forward to the journey… first time i’ll be leaving indian shores… pretty excited about that… i know working in an investment bank doesn’t give you much time… still hoping to have fun there… more than a dozen of us from IIMB will be there…
when i started writing this, there was so much i wanted to write… but somehow i’ve forgotten all of it now… more later…
