In one of the popular sitcoms 'Friends' : Joey says to Chandler that the best way to pick up someone is to narrate a fascinating story. And he begins his story by saying
'When I was backpacking through central europe....'. This sentence stuck with me , whenever I thought of europe this funny sequence used to come up to my mind.
And now my so called 'Euro-Trip' is coming to a end. I don't see myself back in Europe in the near future. Why?. Thats a whole new story , lets leave it at that for now.
Now , what do I remember when I think of Europe ?
The trips to Germany (nachwanstien,munich) , France (Paris),Switzerland(Interlaken,Luzern,Bern and Zurich) , Italy(Venice),Czech Republic (Prague) and Austria (Salzberg).......
The numerous good humoured fights between friends.- :)
The more than numerous bad humoured fights with others. - :X
The shops that close as early as 7 P.M !. - Clearly no indian businessman is well established here. :P
The Cold weather of March-April to the searing heat of June-July. - The numerous fights regarding the temperature of the AC in the office. :D
A special mention to Alison , Anabel and Aniston (speculating on the 3rd name) : The lovely Tour Guides ;)
(Thats the new profession , Barney Stinson are you taking notes?? )
The 'oh so many ' discussions with myself ( :| and many discussions with others ( lol )
The 2 haircuts I had whilst I was here. : Boy o Boy
The fussball night with Manuella and Bob. Manuella beat Bob 10 to nothing , boy was that embarrasing.
The night party at cafe walch. Had a couple of Red bulls while others were having alcoholic drinks and ended up staying awake for most of the night ! :
The world cup betting program at office. Had put the money (not literally) on Holland. So near , yet so far. :(
Falafel. The only Veg dish that the eataries make here.
The African safari and the Maruthi-800. What is this you ask ? I am sorry , there is nothing more that I could possible reveal in a public domain. :P
The junkies (hippes, call 'em what you like: Greeen,Red of Blue haired , over tattooed , drunk , satan worshiping , dog keeping 'people') that used to sit in front of KFC.
The talk at the coffee breaks. :)
One tipsy turvy ride at Prater. (With BRAVE Anurag , who was shouting MUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYY the whole ride !! )

Oh so much , but mainly I will remember the time spent with people here : Alpa,Anurag,Rahul,Raj,Sanjay,Sudhansu (in alpabetical order : Love em all you see :P)
and I will indeed remember and miss Vienna , the quiet city with an endearing charm that seeped into my heart.........
I came to europe with just one funny sequence in mind....and now I leave it with ..........
P.S : If I indeed have a hard time remembering things I have 50 Gigs of photos , a clear abuse of memory space I know !
P.P.S : I know there is no relation between the pictures and the text accompaning it , but then again , there was not supposed to be one either !
Aloha und Adios EUrope!!
