I would like to quote a poem about true friendship and I would like to dedicate it to all my friends.
"YOU WERE THERE FOR ME"
Words escape me
at this moment
that seems like the end
yet it is only the beginning
when friendships are close
and dreams are far
you were there for me.
Tears fill me
with memories of both good and bad
some nearly forgotten
yet all dear to the heart
you were there for me.
In times of trouble
and in times of thanks
you stood by my side
and held me up.
Through your ever-patient ears
to your comforting hugs
you were there for me.
From that first day
when I saw you and knew
that you would love me for who I was
you were there for me.
And until the day
when we are old and gray
I will always know that
you are there for me.
Learning is a never ending process. Apart from our parents, teachers and elders. Each and every person in his/her lifetime spends lot of time with friends.There are many things to be learn from the subject called friendship. What can we learn from a friend people have a misconception that friendship is just to enjoy (eat,drink and share the feelings etc) with them. In my life being I was a kind of reserved person with my parents.Being only one son I never used to share my ideas,feeling etc because I had only three to four friends. Then it was when I was studying my diploma I met friends with different backgrounds some were very much talented in studies, sports and extra curricular activities. I really learned a lot of from their personal life. We all friends meet together at least twice a year. Then it was when I joined engineering where I had many friends but even then I was reserved never used to talk much. Because I never used to turn up to the college very often......LOL. Then came the when I joined my Masters in UK. This was the first time in my life Staying along with my friends. I was really tensed because I never spent my life in a hostel or in a room along with my friends. But thank God for sending such a good friends for me. I really experienced/felt the pain to earn a penny managing money, time and everything. Thanks a lot friends. I would like to dedicate this to small article to all my friends right from my childhood until my life time DOT
Wish you all the very best friends for your future endeavors.

Tips for students going to study in U.K.
Hi,
I would like to share my U.K. life experience with you guys in order to make it easier for you.
Jeans, T-shirts, Formals you can bring but you wont be using very often. Thermal wear two sets, jerkin (if you are coming here to study during winter term just bring at a thick one and thin one. If suppose you are coming during summer term then you can come and buy very good jerkins here in Marks and Spencers, H&M, Primark for cheaper rates. You can buy duvet and pillows for a very cheaper rates in ASDA and Sainsburys.
You can get basmati rice, wheat flour, curd, green chillies and some Indian items from Taj grocery. But you wont be getting masala (sambar, chilli chicken, rasam, mutton masala powders) items here so try bringing more. Try to bring bring ready mix powders (dhall powder, instant rice mix powders) as much as you can. Also bring some spices any how you will be getting here but too costly.
vessels like frying pan, rice cooker (pressure or electric) , those who really like idli bring idly cooker. You can get all these over here but too costly. If you have enough space bring all these or adjust accordingly. Laptops are cheaper than India so it's better to buy here.
You can bring one hundred pound and rest in the form of travelers card or visa debit card. Don't bring Maestro card, they wont be accepting. With those two cards your parents can credit the money from India, you can withdraw here.
Arrange for university accommodation or for off campus accommodation by searching in www.gumtree.com .Always book online tickets earlier for cheaper rates.

HIGHER STUDIES IN U.K.
Hi friends,
After completing your under graduation successfully many students wants to pursue their higher studies, well its a nice idea but it all depends upon the individual how you face the challenges in your life right from applying to an university and getting admission. I am sure you all will get admission for the course and university/college you have opted for.
Here I am going to post some information that would really be helpful for those who wants to know more about life in Uk.
1) Accommodation which is the most important question that arises as soon as you get a seat. For that there are some links that I would like to share in order to make it easy and simple for you.
http://www.gumtree.com
this a link where you need to type in the number of rooms and the type of accommodation that you require and it will make your first step easier.
(or)
After landing here you can go meet some letting agents in person and they would be able to help you.
a) The letting agent would require a letter from your university/ college stating that you are the student of that univ/college.
b) They will also be asking for guarantor who should be based in UK and should be having a house in UK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Need not worry if you don't have any one of those you need to have lots of money I mean you need to pay three months rent in advance.
2) If you are done with your accommodation you can order for a free SIM from a service provider by going online to the following website and order a free SIM card for you as well as for your friend (Two in one).
