GROWING UP AND MOVING ON IN LONDON

                                wow okay, let me start this blog by telling you exactly how good I am at procrastinating. This blog was supposed to be up a month ago. Oh well, better late than never right! So here's the thing all my life before getting married and moving to London, I have only moved one time from our old apartment to the independent house my father built and the move happened when I was in school around 2008-2009 I think I am not completely sure but I'm confident my father will comment down below and correct me if I am wrong. As far as I can remember I was extremely happy about it because the apartment was a 1 bedroom situation and we didn't have enough room. A new home with your own private room? are you kidding me? that was the dream of every young person who grew up sharing space with their siblings. Although because that apartment is where I spent most of my childhood,  it is my favorite home and I have warned my parents to never sell it.   I mentioned

 I see you've finally taken the plunge of moving overseas and to that, I say congratulations and good luck to your future endeavors. It's a rather difficult path but one you'll get through nonetheless. I know because we have been there and we know it can seem daunting without your loved ones guiding you. My husband and I are still in the journey of learning how to efficiently move forward in our journey but so far we have come to a point where we can help people in knowing what they should most definitely buy first thing after moving to the UK or any other country for that matter.  If you are a student who has moved to the UK recently then this will serve as a guide on how to save money while also not cutting corners living a good healthy life.  My husband is studying at Hertfordshire university and yes he is here on a student visa and no I'm not on a dependent visa which clears the main question that may arise in your mind as to why are we being frugal and not buying t

So here's the thing I know, this blog is not going to be relevant in a couple of years, to be honest, this blog won't be relevant in a couple of weeks or so, which should be a point strong enough to prove that I write for my own amusement. JK. I write so that I can keep track of my own shortcomings, Jk again. I write so that if I ever were to develop Alzheimer's this blog will serve as a reminder of the life I have lived and with that, I shall stop messing around and come to the main point. This blog is for anyone who is going to travel soon or is feeling anxious about traveling internationally or even nationally for that matter. Here, I write about my own experience of traveling to the UK from India and how to travel safely.  The rules I mention here are of the time period I was traveling so I suggest if you are looking to learn about the current rules then you should check out the official website of the country you plan to travel to.  I knew I had to travel sometime soon

First things first, Thank you so much for taking the decision not to abandon your pet . It's not an easy decision but I am so glad you took it. But the fact that you're here reading this means that you are clueless as to what should the next step be because it seems like a daunting and extremely expensive process, well let me clear some doubts. Yes, the process is expensive. Although I've come to a realization that the smaller the pet the lesser the expense but that's just my theory. ( If you do have a small dog then yay you! but if you happen to have a St. Bernard then good luck with the expenses. JK) Let me tell you how we started off our journey, in the summer of 2020 when the world was in chaos and no one knew what the future had in store for us, I and my husband were busy planning our journey to the UK  He had taken the decision of studying in the UK and hence we were scheduled to move to the UK in the fall of 2020 but the pandemic delayed that plan . But with us
