Visit to zoo


Today is family day. but because my family is out for the day, I stayed at Mea's. She is Tanvi's host as I mentioned in the last blog.
Mea has a beautiful house which is huge like most Danish houses. The interiors are interesting with a lot of paintings which seem from the olden times. It is a nice experience to add myself  as the latest member to the small family of Mea, her brother Mads and her lovely parents and our little rabbit Stella :)
We went shopping early morning, me and Mea's mother. We bought decorations, candies, breads and fruits.
Then we got busy in preparing and decorating the house for Mad's birthday party.
Runa came to pick me up from there and we left for Zoo..We played games on the way .. we taught each other tongue twisters. The danish asked us to say fa fo fo fo naee fo fo ikke fo fo fa folum and only I nd divyangna were able to speak it correctly. We gave them our fav. Chandu ke chacha ne chandu ki chachi ko chandi ki chamche se chatni chatae.. ;) It was fun..

In the zoo we saw seal,polar bear, giraffes. The penguins were really cool. And they were also posing for the clicks;) which was fun to watch. I bought these cute mugs from zoo.

But it was a tiring day. We took a train to reach home and by chance we met Tyrine who gave us lift ;)
Hey, the day does not end like that.. I had a surprise waiting for me. Lars had cooked Indian Dal in Danish style specially for me. It was really yummy. On dinner table we chatted and discussed our day. I showed them our family pictures and some ppt's which i had made about India. We clicked some pics and had fun.
Tomorow's India Day in school.. better get some sleep :)
Good night :)

India day

India Day

Excited for India Day in school. We all were dressed in traditional's. I got late in getting ready , so had breakfast in the bus,.
Everyone was looking pretty awesome. It was looking like we are about to celebrate something like diwali.. Well, truly it was nothing less than that.
We had chemistry lecture in the morning. We learned some experiments which were erudite .Assembly was next, but due to some reason, it got cancelled. We next attended music lessons. They sang few songs for us and we did the same. It was fun and really felt nice. After lunch we celebrated India day. We started with putting tilak on everyone's forehead. Then the girls had fun by applying mehndi (henna), tie parandi's to our danish friends and made a beautiful rangoli. Indian food was served which included chane, khakhra, bhujia, sweers, pickels. Delicious:) To showcase, what India is like, we also showed them some presentations which displayed our history, culture, lifestyle and traditions.  We were exuberantly playing bollywood music and dancing. It felt so good, dancing to your favourites is always relaxing. It dint feel like we are in a different place and people are not used this kind of music. Ohkay, yes i'm stressing so much on dancing because I love it. And doing this with everyone added to the fun.

After this celebrations, we got ready for gym class. We did wall climbing and played badminton.  Wall climbing was fun , we played for around 2 hours after school.
Tyrine picked us up and we went for shopping. I bought small gifts for my family. It was a great experience. We had fun trying on different clothes. We had dinner outside . It was like a family day out. But Lars was not there. He has left for some business trip and he'll be back in a few days. Aneways, back home, had tea and now going to sleepp.
tda ;)

My new familyy

Hello people..
Sorry for being missing for a few days. I was not well.. When your stomach goes wrong everythng seems blue. Being sick is bad, but being sick when u are suppose to enjoy is worse. But m back and you know how.. the light of my life were my family here tyrine,runa and lars and my friends. I am really blessed to have such caring people around me. They supported me and treated me like my family when i was not at the best of my health. They took utmost care of me. These words are are not sufficient to show my feelings and gratitude to them. Its like a home away from home .

Tyrine looked after me like my mom used to when i was down. She gave me medicine, chatted with me for a long time to make me feel better. Runa was beside me everytime i needed her. Living away from home is difficult but The Henriksens made it a really loving experience.
I just realised i have been talkin about how denmark is, when i should have first told you why I am loving this place so much.
I have got a beautiful home to live in. Its a big house surrounded with greenery.The house has 3 rooms, a living room,  cool kitchen, office and a garden outside. Oh and  2 cute cats Pheobe and Mikie. I share runa's room, coz i dint want to stay like a guest in the guests room.Life has been exciting here.
I saw my mom in tyrine. She asked me what i want for breakfast, for lunch and dinner just like my mother used to. She was tensed when i was not well. She chatted with me while was on bed.She asked me what i would like to buy for my family back in India. She was there everytime i needed her.and that includes saving me from her jumping cats.. :-P She has a bubbly personality, you wont ever see her without a smile. And her smile is special, it lights up your day. :) I did mention that she loves horses in one of my blog earlier. You can see it in her eyes when she's around them. And yay.... i m going shopping with her this monday too :)
And Lars.. man he's a great person. Very kind and have a great sense of humour. He turns the most serious moment into a hilarious one in seconds. I just love his company. Know what, he also taught me to ride a bicycle.. I have never rode one. And i am getting better in it ;) thanks lars. Its real fun being with him. He cracks u up and cools u down in a moment. He loves nature as far as i gotta know him. He's very similar to my father. His presence makes me feel secure jus like i m , when i am with my father. I'm seriusly gonna miss his jokes :(
Oh and Runa has played as my best buddy. We have long chats .We did yoga together which was fun.We cooked together. Choole chawal was not a one person's job ;)   Runa looks so much like Briggiete nielsen  to me;) She is really sweet and a real caring person. She is super understanding. She made me feel so comfortable that i can say that its My home, MY father, MY Mother.. Like Lars, he also loves nature. She enjoys when she is in the garden or on the beach. She enjoys sunset and also loves to party.  She works with her dad 3 days a week and thats how she earns her pocket money.. Thats what i found really amusing. Here its a part of their lifestyle. earning themselves.

I like talking to them...we talk like 24 hrs.while having our dinner we discuss what ee did in our whole day...then we listen to music...sometimes watch movie...see pictures..I showed them my birthday, festivals, marriages picss and dey wer really haapppy to see them...

We talked and got to know many things about each other and others country...we wer 2 different people but thought a little bit same!! We two talked about ourselves and families....how dey are different....then we even talked about education system....we shared some of our secrets...

People here are really particular about there stuff. Truly punctual. They dont waste food. Everyone's house is so beautiful. they decorate it themselves.Apart from my beautiful home here,  I have also visited Clara's home (Jhanvi's host), Mea's (tanvi's Host), Alberte ( gunjan's host) home and they all have beautiful homes.

I also met Runa's sister. She came to meet me. She is really beautiful and works in city. She was fun to talk to. And i met runa's aunt. She is a great lady. She owns a big dog. Scary but friendly ;) I had a nice stay at Clara's home too , jhanvi's host. Her mother is a nurse. She also took care of all of us when we were at their home.
I gott to stay at Mea's home too. She's tanvis' host. Mea is a sweet girl. She has a brother named Mads who has his bday next week. Me and tanvi did try to help in the party preprations . And they own a rabbit Stella.Nice name right?
A brown cute rabbit. I played with him. He was fun.

Know the best part, each and every person whom i have met here, my parents, teachers in school, kids in school, other hosts.. They all are super friendly. You wont feel that you are in a diametrically opposite country.
They turned this visit into an unexpected joyfull experience .  I am really happy being here and sad too as the stay is about to end.. But i'll be taking some beautiful memories back ;)

Another dayy..!!

Heya everyone..

Woke up early again..i guess i am getting used to wake early now:)

We are given some free time before the school begins. we all utilize this time in our favourite activity : CHATTING ;) We jibber-jabber about anything and everything ..

We had our first lecture on history. History is not my fav. subject though but sitting and learning in a new environment is a great experience.

But little did we know, that a funny experience was waiting for us. There was an assembly after the class. We thought it will be the usual prayers and all but it was an aberration. The senior most students were having their session end in august, they were going to leave the school. so as a farewell types they had to gift their juniors a WISH. The WISH was that the seniors have to do whatever their juniors asked for..Fun ryt?

They were asked to perform silly dances, sing really bad songs and other such activities. They also hosted a funny award function giving away hilarious awards. It was such a sight but it would have been more fun if we would have known Danish. Anyway, the idea is cool... isn't it? Lets see if we get to do this in our school:-P

After this we had a small debate on how Denmark and India are different . Our topic was future.. The points made at both the ends were informative. We enjoyed this. The debate continued after the lunch too. After this, we went for our dance practice. Yes, we are performing one;)

Another exciting day at school was over. But at home, another surprise was waiting for me. It was runa's sister who came to visit us. and guess what was cooked..

Chole chawal.. :) We cooked White Chana Rice for the dinner. It was delicious ;) we chatted till late .. Its good to know their family ..their culture. They are also grounded with their families like us..I am really grateful for this wonderful experience.

And oh... waiting for the pics... Keep scrolling:)
