DONning in LonDON : Part-2

So we are back again...and what we are doing this time....well I am packing bags for London...some important stuff that one should put in that really comes handy are these :
1. Universal socket: The socket slots in UK are not round as we have in India. They are of rectangle shape and hence you will need this converter more than ever.
2. Umbrella: London rain is like Mumbai rain..it has no time...thus it is always handy to take your umbrella with you. You can purchase it there also but it will cost you 8-10 GBP.
3. Ready to eat food especially if you are vegetarian.

All packed up and good to go we boarded our Air India flight. From India to London is a good 8-10 hours flight. Direct flights always cost more than the ones with in-between stop. one can choose either of them based on his/her budget. One can get a round trip ticket for as low as INR 36K, not so pricy right ;). In-flight amenities include Cocktail and Mocktail drinks, lunch, dinner etc.


We landed in Heathrow London at around 7pm in the evening. The best economical way to travel to London city from airport is by Tube/London Underground. For going from London to Waterloo area you have to board train on Piccadilly line destined to Cockfosters. You have to get down at Green Park station and from there board Jubilee line towards Stratford. You will reach Waterloo. The best thing about London is that its very informative in the sense that you will find directions and signages at every nook and corner. Follow them and you will never get lost.

Our hotel Travelodge was about 800m from Waterloo station. Walking is the most fun way to reach it. On the way, there is Tesco Express from which you can get daily use products (and chocolates for returning gifts).

This is all for this post. In part 3 we will talk about London to Basingstoke and about tourist spots like London Eye, Madame Tussaud's etc. Hope you are enjoying this journey with me. Share your views in the comments section.

Volunteer to Violenteer.....1 mistake that leads Volunteerism into Terrorism !!!1

Image
“Volunteerism”, a word that generates in every young mind a wave of enthusiasm and urge for becoming a part of a change that the combined action of all the volunteers will bring. Volunteerism is the phenomenon in which a person participates in an act by his own willingness, out of his own conscience. Such a person is called a Volunteer. A volunteer gets solace in the thought that he has done his share of duty, that he is not the one to be counted among onlookers. And this is a very big thing, not to be an onlooker but a doer .  Now talking about the transition the question arises “What actually does it takes to make this transition”? Well the answer can be found by looking back into the life to the day when we first volunteered. The answers that we will find are quite common in most cases. This transition from being an onlooker to a doer takes a lot of motivation and will power especially for the first timers. It comes from the people around us like our parents, teachers,...

COMPLAINING WIFE/GIRLFRIEND.....here is what to do...

Image
For a few days I observed that Jules complaints a lot listening to which I started to wonder howcome she has such a negative view of everything. Initially I tried to find solutions , tried to motivate her to develop a positive outlook, even tried to fight, thinking that this might bring some change in her. But all the above approaches proved futile. She is still the same.  Complaints about fitting of her socks to colour of her shirt, about the Metro to colleague in office. All day long.  Though I know it sounds irritating but as you know very well that HUSBANDS are not allowed to get irritated or angry :) . Also I didnot wanted that to happen as we have our whole life ahead and I knew that Getting irritated will not get us anywhere. So I sat thinking about it and then there  came that LIGHTBULB idea :) . I googled it and there came thousands of results. I started reading them and came to know a few facts which helped me to deal with the issue. First thing to know ...

WiReShark.......

Wireshark is a well-known software in Computer Network world. In this article, I will describe it in a very simple laymen language for everyone to understand. In the Computer world, we have heard of Internet. What Internet is, is a network of many computers connected together. Now let us compare it with the world around us. It is similar like all the houses are connected by roads. If houses represent our computers than roads are the wires which are connecting them together (here let's talk only about wired networks for the sake of simplicity). Also to enter each house we need to pass through a gate. Similarly in computer networks, there are equipments known as gateways which one need to pass to communicate to a computer.  As the picture of network is clear let us move on to its use. We know that information is continuously flowing in these networks. This information is of many types. These different type of informations is received and processed by different set of rules....
