Well much spoken about the college now i would like to share what i have done in a month in Canada. Before coming over here i had already prepared my list of places to go and list of to do things. Since this is my first experience outside i did not want any thing to be missed out.
The moment i landed in Canada i was greeted by my best friend. That was the first thing on the list. Though he made a few visits to India but what i felt was we had not met since ages. And there he was waiting to pick me up at the airport. He waited for 2 hours thanks to the Canadian Immigration who made me wait for a long time and miss my flight at Ottawa. I was out of communication and had no means to call him up. But i knew he would wait for me. Finally i came out of the airport and he took me to his home and insisted to stay over there with him over the weekend. Well he shares the same name as i do ( sirf baap ka naam alag hai). He was very happy to see me and i saw it on his face that he found someone to talk to openly. I could not say no to him and decided to stay with him over the weekend. We had fun together and i shared all the stories from India. Weekend was over and he dropped me to my downtown rental apartment.
He asked me to come another weekend to his place for a house party / feast. I was excited to show him my culinary skills that i learnt in India and wanted to make some dishes for him.
A week passed and i went to his place again. We decided to cook something special. So i told him that i would make the first dish i ever learnt --- "Khandvis". We had a great feast !!

Yummmm !! Delicious and mouthwatering |
NEXT STOP NIAGRA FALLS !!
I was back in downtown. College had started. Me and my roommates decided to go somewhere over the weekend. I was pretty much excited to visit Niagara as it was top on my list of places to visit. Coming to Canada and not visiting Niagara ? Someone would say "You mad Bro ???". So i suggested them that we can go to see the falls. After a long discussion we came to a conclusion to visit Niagra falls , Casino and the Clifton hills together. And icing on the cake was to go for a night out since i had lectures in college on Saturday. So we caught the casino bus on saturday evening and took us around 2 hours to reach the Casino. Below pics would be more than enough to describe what a pleasant view we had after reaching there.

NEXT STOP : RUGBY MATCH
This was a surprise to me. This was not even on my list. But we had managed to get free tickets for the match thanks to some new friends i made over here. The match was between Canada and USA. I had no special interest in Rugby but since there are no other options in sports over here i decided to watch it.
The match turned out to be exciting as it was an international match played with high spirits and good tempo. Though Canada lost to USA with a close score of 20-28. Next time Canada !!!
CN Tower from outside
CN tower is considered as a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada. It is the 5th tallest free standing structure in the world. Though i haven't visited it from the inside, I got a good glimpse of it from the outside.

It is truly iconic and stands out from the Skyline |
Well thats it so far. Would keep on updating on the next places i visit.
To All my friends :
Before leaving India i made sure i met all my friends. Every one of them told me one thing " Tu bhul jaayega na hum log ko udhar jaake". And now i am asking the same question to all those i met. Did i forget you people ? I made sure i called every one of them as i had promised. Well some of them really answered my calls. Thanks to them. They are the ones who matter the most. And well some of them didn't. I tried my best but.....they just didn't. Some would not like this. So i ask the question "Ab kaun kise bhul gaya ?" This disappoints me a lot. But what can i do. I can't change them. So moving on is the only option. Speaking about the country, Well it is nice and beautiful. I can see people from various culture living in harmony and peace. But there is something missing if i compare it with India. The sense of belongingness is missing. People mind their own work. They don't interact much with each other. Well this is what i feel after staying a month over here. May be it will pass over and i would feel much better as time passes.
Thats it from me. It is a long blog and if you are still reading this i thank you for your patience :-P .
Hope you liked it !!
