The day was beautiful today. We started our day with the bright sunshine. Morning was usual with routines (happy happy as usual) but then my wife said - go get ready, we should leave fast and enjoy what's left of the day. And me being a good husband got up and ready before 10 :D Kidding... I got ready at 11. But we left the home by 11:05. That's still good. Don't … [Read more...] about Today my wife and I went for a lunch at My Delhi in NewCastle

Lollypop Lady Failed me

It was the morning of November 21, 2025. My test was booked for the morning 08:00 AM slot. I got up quite early that day because I couldn't sleep because of all the pressure (you know what I mean). So I got up at around 4:30-05:00 AM. Did the regular routine, took bath, got ready, revised some of the questions, watched couple of Durham test videos on the youtube to grasp … [Read more...] about I Failed My UK Driving Test

Merry Christman from Wembly Park

I have been wanting to write about this move for sometime and I finally found some time today. So, here it is, I moved to London on October 8th from Stockholm.

Only the scale at … [Read more...] about Life Update: Moved to NewCastle a Year Ago – Very Late Post

Can A Man Live Alone?

February 13, 2022 by Varun Shrivastava Leave a Comment

Lonely

Before I get into the crux of it, let me tell you what I really mean when I say "Can a Man Live Alone". Of course, a man can live alone but that's not the crux of it, the point is can a man live alone and thrive. Would he grow at all? Can a lone person compete with someone who is surrounded by friends and family? I think it is very important to address this issue, especially … [Read more...] about Can A Man Live Alone?

Christmas Time!!!

Christmas Stockholm

Finally, Christmas is here. The city has lit up. All decorated. But unlike the other festivals, the Christmas vibes are silent and cosy. It is a festival which is celebrated with close family members and relatives mostly over a 7-course dinner (this depends on the place I guess). Spend time talking and sharing stories with each other. A nice way to spend some quality time … [Read more...] about Christmas Time!!!
