For those who asked me queries abt the hot chicks out here,here goes the brief discription.. they are beautiful,glowing red cheeks,blue eyes,(cant tell abt hair color,they are of different colours).. friendly,polite,softspoken.You can enjoy spending time with them..and there is always a big BUT.. some dont bath,some have piercing and u cant imagine where u can see one,some wear black clothes,black shades,black eye liner,black hair,black nails,black boots(its like seeing a ghost in a black and white movie), or there would those ones who put so much make ups to their face u get scared seeing how cruel they could make their innocent face..but in short they are HOT !!
After 2 months,the question still remains.Is helsinki really interesting?I have not seen still a single soul in this building.The only thing I know is that my neighbour is : two women ,by their voices( atleast one ,the other voice could be of television.. or can both be television characters?)Everytime I hear the door of my neighbor being opened,I ran to peep through my door to check how hot those girls could be,or they can be two old women,but i don't expect a mother and daughter to stay together..The other day I met a finish guy who said he was moving out from his home soon as his father got retired and is not giving space in his home..the same would be with all foreigners.I guess only Indians here would be really interested to go home to see their parents.
Initial days were so good with different things to see (now winter has become so cold that all girls cover their body :P).Everyone is so tall and fair and silky hair.Everything was new.Now everything seems to be boring..looking for a mallu for past 2 mths just to say "Namaskaram" ( Hi ). and this week I found 4( one who joined here recently,one in office, one coming to play badminton,one on the roadside accidently)These days I just look through the glasses to the opposite building to see if I can see any soul.I have seen rooms which are lighten fr the whole night ,but not a single lifel.Unless you get a good company,its going to be difficult living here.You can enjoy sometime with friends but if they are not of the same frequency(courtesy : REC friends),then problem can start.Once my peer offered me a drive till my home,all the routes looked alike to me and there were so many trafic signals that we lost the way.After 40 mts ,we reached the office back and he asked me to go home by my own.He was sure that he would never reach home if I am going to find my place with his car :). I thanked him for givin me a wonderful journey all through Helsinki.Thats the height of boredom here....Once I saw a procession (against spray painting,people have strikes for weird reasons here) and I was with them for a long time.Well if I am not bored now,why would you think I am still in front of the computer writing some blog stuffs ??
To get rid of boredom and to save something,my roomie and myself decided to cook.We didnt know anything to cook(not even how to boil rice).International calls were made to home, calls to friends home were made and finally we could make things.If you don't feel cooking, use tortillas(chapatis) or cabbage,which is easy to cut, or some curry in pressure cooker,or have food outside(just 12.5 euros per dinner).There are some difficulty in cutting potatoes,carrots,.. so we decided to buy processed vegetables in packets which again gave us some more time to think wht could we do to avoid boredom.One day,I decided to have a walk around our apartment and found so many people walking through a street which I completely neglected.Out of curiosity,I took the route and found that was the most happening road near my place : two pubs, one party hall,one sex shop , one private striptease.I should not misjudge Helsinki so soon,there could be more interesting things out there....
Thats how I thought of joining Jolly Dragon.(http://www.
I hAve been to seaurosareen,a forest as told by finnish people.Well I could see some grasslands ,and a couple of trees.. nothing much.ITs no where near to Indian forests I have seen.oh yeah,there was a small iron age miniature world depicted there inside forest, where people would be wearing animal clothes,spinning wheel,making tools,etc .It was a kind of way to show the finish history(They have history starting from 700 AD,I guess).Anyways that was the only thing which was interesting,but the place is so beautiful that you would want to spend the whole day there.Inspired by the first trip I decided to go to Stockholm, Sweden by the cheapest but most interesting means of transport : Ship. It has always been my dream to travel by ship (titanic inspired me except the tragedy).Had to book a cabin and not everyone is travel enthusiastic.So it took hell of time to find 3 more who are ready to travel.We booked the biggest cruise to Stockholm,decided to go on Saturday and return on Sunday.Heard Stockholm looks like Helsinki(all European countries look the same) with more population density.As I have seen high population density before in bglore,I was not much interested to see the population o'er there.One day in Stockholm was more than enough.After all cruse journey is what needed to be enjoyed.Well ,being quite puctual I strted frm my home nearly 70 mts before the ship leaves,and i was supposed to reach there 45 mts before the ship leaves.. had to run a lot to take the ship on time.. we were the last to enter the ship on that journey.The ship was so big,and we took the bottom most cabin( 187 euros two way after getting Nokia employee concession,here you would get so many concessions like this if you work for Nokia,after all Finland economy is highly dependent on Nokia shares).Drinks,private shows,fashion show with a modern dance theme,3 pubs,dances,discos,karoke,
Stockholm was beautiful(but Helsinki is more cleaner ),the scenery was far beautiful than the photos I have attached.Probably I can add more photos to my public album.We saw Vaasa Museum,It has only a big ship which was recovered from ocean after it got drowned as it was highly ornamented with a bad design.There were some old style dancing happening there.There was even a multimedia show which said how the enquiry went after the ship sunk .After coming out of that museum I realized ,India too should start a museum with all those rockets/satellites which fall down because of lack of design.It can be made a good public revenue.Then we visited the Royal Palace,which was as beautiful as the Mysore Palace.The ornaments,halls were all made as the same way as it was and we were supposed to store our belongings in a store room there.I met with a small accident in my middle finger in the royal place.Or u could say,my royal blood just flew over the palace !! After coming out we saw the guard changing ceremony outside the palace.Usually it happens very rare with all the band,troups and soldiers.We were lucky enough to see all those at that single day.Walking through the narrow streets,lake sides we saw so many beautiful scenes.Even Nobel building was there.All four were not so keen to enter that museum,so we just took some photos and moved out.Return Journey was also quite beautiful,but less people made it boring at some times.
Went for a company outing yesterday where we were given choices to select a sport event from Archery,wall climbing, bawling.. being adventurous I took archery.It was quite nice doing something which u havnt done before.. I was always always getting my aim towards right of eyes bull.So next time when I aimed,I did it on my left side(red mark) and it hit correctly on center(yellow mark) nd I became the second highest top scorer with 27 pts.. :) .The top scorer(29 pts) was an experienced shooter.
So Helsinki seems to be interesting at times,not sure how long it would be..probably we should try hard to make it interesting even after wearing one pair of shirt+sweater(yet another easy way to show yourself fat).Looking forward for the mild snowfall which could happen on coming wednesday (by the weather forecasting sites) and the election time is at its peak here.There are so many candidates and campaignes are awesome.They come to u and say to vote.distribute cards,bananas,bags,food.apart from Indian politicans, there are a lot of young candidates(one is a law student,other is a girl with green hair, guy with weird specs) .. competition here seems to be healthy.There are even carnivals (fun rides,roller coaster rides) happening here some days..
Today indeed was an eventful day.. played badminton and was not bad in it ..(prob others were bad today.) ,ran up an elevator which goes down.. and falling on it twice,hit an old aunt accidentally.. though i said sorry,she called all my forefathers.. my bus ticket didnt work for some odd reason and the bus driver gave me a cold look( in excess to the cold climate outside),just reached a shop on time(that is 10 mts before it closes) and bought winter shoes(well the first shoes which we selected turned out to be ladies shoes..its very difficult to understand which one is for whom.. no stickers,no labels. :( ) ,had some fun in a friends home.. thats a typical weekend day..and going to sleep now .by day light saving we are supposed to change the watch time one hr back(now its 3.5 hrs back of IST),which means we can sleep more time tonight.(BAD news: Sun sets at 6 which turns to be 5 from today)
Check out my album for photos(wth captions).I had been to Chineese and Finish Prayers here in church.Had been to Opera.. will send all those photos in the link. Prob this wud be the last blog I mite be sending.. I am getting bored writing blogs :),prob u too are getting bored reading them.
