From the 'Down Under' - Part i: The lost day

(Hi! If the pictures are not yet published, please come back again! And, sorry for poor quality of pics, as when I 'shrunk' the pics, they lost the sharpness :-(

 

How it would feel like missing a day on earth?!! 


Yes, I had sort of such feeling of losing a day – well, almost!  


I left Dubai for Australia on 29th September Saturday early morning –  2 AM in wee hours.  Then reaching  Melbourne on Sunday early morning 1.30 AM (Australian time). It is almost like on Friday getting into flight, and Sunday getting out of flight! 


Ooops… I missed the Saturday (where it had gone!)..(we had a  45 minutes stop-over in Singapore, though)… So, most of the day I was flying… 6 hours time difference  taken away some part of the day. 


I am scribbling this from Melbourne, (as they say, the beautiful city of Australia). First impression is ‘wow’!  Really it is a great place. (I remember once our Krishnamachari Srikanth said that Australia is THE best country he had ever visited) 


Due to Jet lag, I slept  till 2 pm today, then I went out for a stroll. It is a wet day, drizzling and windy. Temperature around 15 degree.  


Will be here for another 10 days… So, thinking of posting  in the coming days about stay over here. 


Meanwhile, above given some pictures I have taken today, for my iland friends. Have a great week ahead!
