Tip of the day:  Forgive your enemies, it drives them really nuts.

Dear Nukkies,

I wrote this for someone and I thought I will send this to the list as
well.... It would be great if people write about the place they live (or
places they have visited). 
---------------------------------------------
I came to Ireland four years ago and instantly fell in love with this place!
The place is green throughout the year, the people are friendly and the
weather is great (great for me and miserable for most as it rains throughout
the year!) Winter is a bit different as the trees are all bare. I know the
months here from my surroundings. Come February/March and the place is
filled with Daffodils and in April/May it is Tulips and June/July it is
Roses! The colour and beauty of this place is amazing. 

I did not know where Ireland was till I actually got a job here. Even today
if I have to explain to someone back home as to where I am working I say I
live in Dublin, 45 minutes flying time from London. My grand mom still
thinks I live in London. 

The Dublin city is not very clean (otherwise generally Ireland is clean) and
most of the people spend their time in pubs drinking. Football and beer are
life to the people here. The place comes to a halt when there is a football
match. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has asked the Prime minister to pass a
legislation to open the pubs early in the morning during world cup so that
people can sit in the pub and watch the match on a big screen with the
friends having a pint of beer.

Ireland like India was ruled by the British and they share a love hate
(mostly hate) relationship with them. Till about thirty years back they had
no proper roads and no proper standards of life. Today things have changed
for the better though it stands nowhere compared to any city in mainland
Europe.

There are quite a few Indians mostly doctors, software engineers and
business men - in that order. We get all sorts of Indian vegetables from
lady's finger to bitter gourd! Life here is easy and enjoyable. My only
problem here is that I don't have a direct flight from Dublin to Madras (or
any city in India)! Well, that gives me an added advantage of seeing a new
place each time I fly to India...

Well I will stop here as I tend to ramble on given a chance, more about some
other city, some other time soon.......

Have a nice day
and a nice weekend!
