Summer is always a party time here in Sweden. The winter gets so unbearably cold and rough that people can't afford to waste a single moment by staying home during the summer. Since the country is located at the very north in the globe so, the days are pretty long during this time of the year. You may be wondering "how long?", well it's like 20 hours of daylight and 4 hours of twilight time, now hows that!! So, apparently we don't have any thing called Night during the warmer days. However, it doesn't seem to bother us that much as the shorter days of the winter; where we hardly get any sun for weeks. It's like living in the Vampire's den. Would you believe, the sun rises (starts rising) at around 10 am and sets at 2 pm. The people who comes from the part of the world where the day-night cycle is a more conventional one suffers in trying to get accustomed to this alien setup. Whereas, the Swedes are like the needles of the clock; as long as there is the clockwork they would not bother about the sun rising or setting at all - they will get their work done like always.
During the summer every city commune arranges several cultural festivals and shows (a privilege of being a resident of a first world nation :-) ). You will find concerts, plays at theaters, carnivals, folk festivals and so many other activities all over the country. Last evening a friend of mine invited me to a one such program which was indeed a very unique experience for me. The commune was showing a hollywood movie on big screen. The tickets were free, the venue was the Central City Park crowded with Swedes mostly and a handful of international students. They were showing the movie "Hangover" and surprisingly I came to know (after so long of my stay in Sweden) that Swedes also have humors :-). They laugh over the same subject that we laugh on, WoW!! Since the movie was full of shitty stuffs so it was quite fun to watch with the crowd. It was quite a setting, everyone brought in there sitting mat, some comforter to warm them up and get cozy with their girl or boy :-), and had beers and food, everyone was having a fantastic time - no doubt about that. The fun is not going to stay long as winter is approaching, but not before another month and half. The coming weekend we will be going to a beach :-) let's see what excitement is waiting for me there.

Inception
It took me exactly 12 minutes to come up with this sentence; and another 2 to write this one. It seems like blogging is not my cup of tea. However, a Heart-Break was not mine cup of tea either, but I have managed to have a several of them. Hence, I believe I will get along with this blogging habit as well, quite soon.
When one come across the words "Broken Hearts" the first thing that would come to their mind is "Separation" or "Split Up" or "Break Up"; very seldom one would think heart could also break and not result in one of the three quoted "" words or terms. You're wondering "how ?", well think of your childhood; I believe there were a series of heart breaks where the major contributors being your parents, siblings or friends.
Too much of depressing talks?? Worry not, I am not here to bug my valuable readers (if any) with my uninteresting speech, rather I would share my weekly experiences of my abroad life and would glide in my childhood and adolescence days in between. Since it has been almost 3 years now I am staying abroad, so I would have to come up with some flash backs as I walk along my story telling.
Nevertheless, there would be occasional posts containing heart breaks, as a means of justifying the domain name ;) but, don't worry I will try to entertain you with my every post and make you a satisfied co-passenger in this adventurous journey.
