HAPPY NEW YEAR!

(Imagine it comes with the best bottle of champaigne :) *

I'm in my second home again. The flight back to Bangladesh was rather adventurous.
First, I had very little time inbetween connecting flights, so I had to hurry up most of the time.
Second, I forgot all my Christmas candies that didn't fit into my luggage and were in a separate bag in my hand, to the British security guards in London Airport. I do hope, they appreciate that!
Third, 10 minutes before departure, British Air told me that they had not recieved my luggage yet, so all the way I was wondering if I will see it in Dhaka or not.
Fourth, the plain turned back 30 minutes before landing in Dhaka and went to Chennai (India) instead as the fog in Dhaka was so thick it was not possible to land. We had to stay for about 14 hours. However, the hotel was very nice as well as breakfast and lunch and it was all paid by British Air! Besides I didn't mind sleeping in a soft bed after a long journey.
Lastly, when I did finally reach to Dhaka, I could not indeed find my luggage! BUT after haggling with different officials and managing to open a file about my lost bag, I did find it from totally different luggage belt on my way out from the airport. Hihi, sometimes people just are lucky, I must admit!

So, to conclude, I want to believe if the first journey of the year is so colourful, then the whole year will be very colourful too. I'm really enjoying time back in Bangladesh! It's been refreshing being back in the office after two weeks long holiday. And although the idea of 3 final exams, a term paper and presentation waiting for me in addition to tense work in the office where I'm still relatively new, frightened me a before, it seems I've got the energy to manage it all well. The presentation is already done and the first exam coming tomorrow.

Now gotta go to study! :)

Adieu, my friends, till the next time!

* Remark: In Estonia we believe that the last decent day to wish happy new year is the 6th of January and if anybody wants to do it after that day, s/he has to provide a bottle to the person s/he wishes happy new year.
