An end is a new beginning

May 1, 2014 cosmickarma

It's here. The day I go back home, after seven weeks in the pretty island of Britain. It's been exhilarating in more ways than one. The lines between a vacation and a way of life blurred a few times on this trip; I guess that comes with the luxury of having so much time to… Continue reading An end is a new beginning

London, Last Leg

May 1, 2014 cosmickarma

“Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.” ― William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing I unwound for three days in London, preparing to say goodbye to this pretty little island that wowed me these last seven weeks. I stayed in the suburbs with friends, lazing around in the prettiness and residential living. I then stayed in… Continue reading London, Last Leg

Keswick, The Lake District

April 29, 2014 cosmickarma

I gazed--and gazed--but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought      - William Wordsworth in "I wandered lonely as a cloud" Tucked away in the north western corner of England, in a region sweetly called Cumbria, is a slice of heaven on earth. Tremendous calm pervades large lakes while mountains ring… Continue reading Keswick, The Lake District

London Marathon 2014

April 18, 2014 cosmickarma

Spectator Line: Westminster, Mile 25 Backdrop: Big Ben Four hours. Tears, sweat and elation. Not theirs, mine. I made a detour on the road, it was time to make a dream come true. Watching the London Marathon was an unexpected opportunity and it turned out to be the best few hours on the road so far. I… Continue reading London Marathon 2014

Eerie Encounters – SW England

April 16, 2014 cosmickarma

Bath, Glastonbury, Wells, Stonehenge, Salisbury I've heard it beaten to death that Stonehenge is not impressive. I disagree. Stonehenge - seen just as a monument - is not tall, wide, cavernous, colourful, gilded, carved or any other kind of awe inspiring structure. But when I dug deep into when, where and why it came to be,… Continue reading Eerie Encounters – SW England

Countryside Capers – Cotswold Villages

April 13, 2014 cosmickarma

Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh and in between It was time to leave the city behind. The English countryside that I had heard so much about beckoned with names that were a mouthful. As I hopped off the train from London at a middle-of-nowhere tiny train station and looked for the bus to Chipping Campden, I… Continue reading Countryside Capers – Cotswold Villages

London, Day 10

April 6, 2014 cosmickarma

It looks like I've done exactly what I wanted to do in London - hang out and just let *it* sink in. *It* varying from the city to everything that's happening within and outside my head. It's a lovely feeling to be able to navigate pockets of London like I've lived here a while. The… Continue reading London, Day 10

London, Day 5

April 2, 2014 cosmickarma

London. Day 5. And time has slowed down. These five days have been about one-third as frenzied as the last five days I spent in London more than a year ago. London has so much to do and yet for some reason this time I don't want to do it all. I've let the city… Continue reading London, Day 5

York

Eboracum ->  Eoforwic       -> Jorvic  -> Yorke Roman     -> Anglo-Saxon  -> Viking  -> Norman Where do I even begin to talk about York? Should I start two thousand years ago, Roman remnants of which are strewn around the city and housed lovingly in museums? Or should I start in the… Continue reading York

Durham

March 27, 2014 cosmickarma

Grey towers of Durham Yet well I love thy mixed and massive piles Half church of God, half castle ‘gainst the Scot And long to roam these venerable aisles With records stored of deeds long since forgot                                 - Sir… Continue reading Durham
