Welcome To Singapore



I can't really believe that it has been exactly a month since I last updated my Blog! Time just flew by and I did manage to do a lot of things. Flew back home from Dubai for a very short 14 Day break, completed my SGP formalities, met up with some friends, did some pre-departure shopping et all... and finally landed in Singapore on 19th Nov.

But hey! What did I do all this time after I came to S'pore? Hmm... Well I must say, I just did 1 thing... explored... explored... and just explored. And let me tell you; it was FUN!! The Beautiful College campus, Marriot's VIP lounge, Vivo city Mall, Harbor Front et all... Singapore is very much like India and sooo much 'Unlike' Dubai. Even the names of some places are like India... Crawford Market, Little India, Dhobey Ghaut, Hyderabad Road and Mustafa Market to name a few.

In fact Singapore is such a happening place. It rains a lott and yet there is always something happening all the time. I also zeroed down on the Maharashtra Mandal in Singapore (click here) where I found that the Maharashtra CM, Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh is on a visit to the beautifully planned City State on 1st Dec '06.

I also got a chance to have very informative interactions with a lot of Indian Students studying in leading Universities like NUS, NTU and they have helped me in understanding the local culture better and very quickly. Singapore feels like a home away from home. It definitely has something that makes you feel at home... that welcome feeling which you will only get in some serene Indian cities like Pune.


That's it for now. It's almost 2:15 AM. Need to catch up with some sleep. Don't want to fall asleep in Class tomorrow :-)

Catchya soon!!
