This is what happens when you forget to pick up a Metro on your way into the tube station at 6.30 in the morning. Waiting a long time for a train to arrive
(Taken with my cameraphone at Kingsbury Station; Southbound Jubilee Line platform.) In case you hadn’t been drawn to it automatically, click on the green button in the picture and turn up the volume.

Route 79 Reflections on a bus journey home |
 |
| From London: By a British, European, 2nd-Generation Indian. Probably confused - but proud to be them all! Half of my journey to and from work is a 20-30 minute bus ride: London Bus Route 79 - between Alperton in West London and Kingsbury in North West London. I very frequently get pissed-off and frustrated waiting around in the DARK, WET and COLD - waiting for the 79 to turn up. But I have to be eternally grateful for the quality thinking time I get to myself. | ||
haha .. nicely done!

Nice music. If that was played on the station, no one would get on the train.

Hey Brian Pigeon: thank you so much! Am flattered! By the way, I’ sure I saw you the other day here at Hammersmith tube station.
I think you’re right Brian Ross! The music is so peaceful you just want to carry on listening to it and dream the day away!

Hey Jag! Owais wants to know what you do all day, as you seem to have a lot of time for your blog?

Hi Mustafa; long time!
Re a lot of time for these pages? And there was me thinking that I’m so lazy that I was slipping to almost one update per month in the last year or so ….
I had a new year resolution which was to pay more time and attention for updates here, but it’s almost March already and I seem to have failed that one. Hey ho … say hi to Owais for me!

Hi from Finland!
Those photos are great with the recipes, good to now what the food is supposed to look like while cooking, haha 
Just today found your site as wondering which food (containing lamb) to make. Loving all that spicy Indian cuisine..! Found that Rogan josh recipe of yours in the morning.. and now it’s still simmering there for at least an hour
Thanks for the recipe (they seem to be a “few” years old, made any new ones?), have to try something else some other day!
