Time to go home...
It was to be for six months...and here it is, the end of my six months' of my stay in Vancouver. And it is time to head back home!
A hard time for me, my last two weeks' of stay...and I would have to just say goodbye to all the wonderful people i met here and go back to India...All the good times I have had with them...all the wonderful places I visited...a lot of memories...a lot of wonderful memories to carry home!
I will surely MISS them! :-((
Sam was one of the first persons I met after I came to Canada. A great person to have as a friend. Have gone for lunch with him on most days from office. He also invited us to his place on numerous occasions and has been a host to movies, dinners and video gaming. He also accompanied me to the CFL football game. Have had a great time with him.
Elsa, the girl next door!? A wonderful lady who sits next to me at work. A great person to discuss serious topics or share a joke with...or just have fun! Always has something to offer...apples, strawberries, grapes, etc. While she offered me healthy stuff, I always ended up offering her chocolate junkies... :-))
She was the first person in office to wish me and gift me on my birthday.
Jessica and Mark too were one of the first set of people I met in Canada. Have had a good time with them. Mark took me to the Space Center, invited me over for some gaming ... A great couple to hang out with and have gone out with them to dinner a few times. Good times...
Dave Branson, the guy 'known by all' in office. A great guy who likes his sports - Ice Hockey, Putt-Putt :)), Curling, Lacrosse, Five pin bowling, and any other Canadian sport! Actually his knowledge is not just restricted to Canadian sports and knows all about cricket, soccer, etc! He took me to a BEER league hockey game in which he was playing and also took me to the big Canucks game. We both still have a bet running on who can beat whom at a badminton game. A great guy to work with and very helpful too...Have spent long hours at office preparing documents and reviewing them with him. One trick he likes to play, is to scare away all my friends who are on messenger :-))
Gordon took me around some of the places in North Vancouver, the Capilano Dam and around the touristy places in Gastown in downtown Vanvouver. He also accompanied me on the ferry to Victoria on XMas eve. Went to dinner a couple of times with him. A guy who has a lot of information on nature and the outdoors.
This entry is the first in a series, telling about the wonderful people I met and the good times I had with them, in Canada...

Hey Sath,
Lucky u. Sounds like a lot of fun had in Canada . It must have been mixed emotions when u left. Lots in Canada must be missing you.
But the next trip must be around the corner. So, by the time you settle down, you are on your way again and that way you spend time both at home and away. Thats blissful if you ask me !
Wait, have you left already????
Waaaaaah! *sniff* :-(
FYI - I lost my badminton bet to sathwick (he kicked my ass 3 games to none). However, my loss was also my gain since the payment was for me to watch Dweepa (Girish Kasaravalli)

Thanks sathwick, you're the best! :-)
Sathwick, it seems that you have made a ton of friends here. I think some of them are sad to see you go so soon. Time flew by so quickly.
In your brief visit here, you have definitely helped enrich my life. It was awesome to play badminton with you. Too bad that the video capture of our amazing victory was not completely captured.
You have a bright future ahead. Looking forward to the day when we'll meet again either here or in India.
Have a safe journey home.
Your friend,
Sam
