Biking!

Yes! My new found passion or need. I have been cycling for the last 2-3 weeks now on an average of about 10 miles per day, 5 days a week. I will be honest that I started about a year ago with cycling, but I did not dare to cycle more than a mile in the beginning.

Slowly over the time, I built up the length and now although I can cycle for about 8 miles at a stretch, my speed remains quite average. So hope to increase my speed over the next few months. And hope to look more athletic too!

Will surely post before and after pics - if i don’t end up looking the same :D

Word Cloud for my Advanced Dutch homework

In the absence of something better to say, I have this cloud as a post.

Hi!

A big hello to everyone out there!

Almost a year has passed by since the last time I was here. New land, new culture, new language, new life and new learnings.

I am a year older and hopefully wiser too. Looking forward to a simpler life and more importantly achieving some of my dreams. A well deserved break now seems a little bit too long, makes me a bit uncomfortable too.

Will try to squeeze time among my Dutch classes, studying for exams, reading books for inspirations and life as usual to come down and keep posting some nice and sparkly things i come across.

Till then, Love

Arpita
