03/09/2008: My dream come true, my first flight. We (Binu sir, Suman & myself) were deputed for a training program in Birmingham for an ongoing project. Our flight was on 03/09/2018 early morning from Trivandrum International Airport. We had our connection flight from Dubai after having our breakfast. We landed Birmingham airport by around 2.00am. We waited sometime for the cab and reached Crown Plaza where our stay was arranged.
After a short nap we got ready to go to our client's office. The office atmosphere was very nice with friendly people around. I was little tensed, my first day in the office but later it was like home.

We left office by 5.00pm and walked back to the hotel with is hardly 20 minutes from the office. The view on the way back was beautiful.
The next day we had an office lunch arranged in a nearby Indian Restaurant with all the officials from the Company.
After few days we visited Derby office another county in England to see and learn the operations there. We had a good time there.

Even though it was long ride back to Birmingham from Derby for an hour through the motor way, it was a nice and new experience.

One day Aman and Emily took us to a restaurant nearby. We had a great time there.
On one Saturday, Paul and his girlfriend took us to Warwickshire, to the Warwick castle. Its as huge stone made structure rebuilt in the mid 12th century, situated near to River Avon.

We all spend the time till evening in the castle. There is a wax museum inside the castle with lots of wax statues of famous personalities. It was a superb experience.
I didn't know how fast 26 days has run out. That was our last day in Birmingham, we had our flight in the evening. We packed our luggage and departed to Airport. Next day morning we arrived Dubai. As there was 18 hours for our connection flight they arranged a transit for us. We had a small shopping in a supermarket in Dubai and late in Dubai duty free also. All are tired and slept soon after boarding the flight. We landed Trivandrum early morning. All said goodbye and left for our home. I thank my office for giving me such an opportunity, a dream come true.
