Wrap up : 2025

Many years ago I had read an article about Abraham Lincoln. In some context, it mentionend "Rolling stone gathers no moss". The phrase has stuck to me. I feel that phrase has quietly shaped my outlook and nudged me into being a bit more experimental in my life - sometimes intentional, sometimes by poor decisions. This year has come to an end, and it too has brought so many changes in my life. The transition from professional to student has been illuminating. It taught me an important […]

Skill Unlocked! Ice Skating!

Another Sunday afternoon! And it is cold here in Germany! What to do? Ice Skating!!! To make the maximum out of this cold weather, me and couple of friends decided to go to the ice skating. But before that we would need to eat something. So we decided to also visit a Gurdwara on the way and eat at the Langar. Gurdwara I had visited a few Gurdwara before but always with Sikh friends. This was the first time I was going with friends from other religions. To be honest, I wasn't entirely […]

Potluck and First snow

A couple of new experiences this week too!! Roommates out of town, which meant I have the whole house to myself. Was it fun? Yes and No!! It is nice to have people home when I return from university at night. A late-night bus on an almost empty bus with some light music playing in my ear followed by a small banter with roommates marks the perfect end to my day. This week my roommates, all of them, including the German ones, were having a fun time in India. So I decided to have some fun on […]

How sick and tired, am I, of Ralph Schuhmacher trying to sell me a car? On TV, on Youtube, on Spotify , on Netflix... this is a robbery. Give us money to stop advertising or... or else... Ralph Schuhmacher!!!

I am having nightmares now, where I open the door of my garage to take out the car, and Ralph Schuhmacher pops up saying that somewhere I can buy a better car.

What nobody will tell you about #Germany:

For any given product that comes with a packaging, there is an intelligent opening/closing mechanism. If you fail to open/close a package without damaging it more than twice in a row, your citizenship gets automatically revoked.

You get 14 days to dispute the issue if you have receipts that there were preexisting conditions that led to the damage. 🤣

Diwali Party

The Diwali party at my home marked exactly 1 month since I arrived to Germany. During this month, I was lucky to join a Hike, 2 potlucks and 1 very amazing Diwali party. My house mate (let's call her Apurwa to hide her identity) put in a lot of effort in making this a success. She invited around 30 of her friends -- and me. Luckily for me, I happen to live here so I was unavoidably invited 😉. The preparations had started long before the party with meticulous planning for gifts and food. […]

Cô dâu Việt tại Đức khoe khu vườn rộng lớn như "triệu đô" của bố chồng, đầy ắp táo, mận, cherry chín mọng mỗi mùa.

Khu vườn là không gian thư giãn, gắn kết yêu thương giữa các thế hệ.

Brown Magnet and Audio Labs

It has been the inaugural welcome week, it's been very interesting. There has been a lot of information flow and we are meeting and making new friends from various parts of the world. The whole feeling is so surreal. Sitting in the classrooms after so long feels so amazing and refreshing. Also, meeting people with whom I was only chatting for so many days also feels wonderful. Throughout the week, we have been repeatedly told how very hard it is going to balance the extremely challenging […]

Bamberg

Bamberg is a neighboring city to Erlangen. It is an UNESCO heritage. I could have visited this place on any day but I would have missed the Antique Market. Today morning when my flat mate asked if I would like to join I spontaneously said yes and it turned out to be a good decision. Antikmarkt After the 40 mins train ride we reached the Bamberg station. The city felt more busy as soon as we exited the station. A 10 mins walk on the Luitpold Strasse - the main street right in front of the […]

Happurg Hike

The Saturday hike with Highlights e.V was awesome. Highlights e.V is an NGO which works for Mental health and wellbeing.

A well organized hike with roughly 30 people. There were people from India, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Italy, Croatia, Tunisia and some more. This internation collection made the trek […]
