My most memorable experience that I would like to share was my first day at ANU.
I was totally lost and did not have any idea as in what to do and what not to do. Everything seemed so strange and for once, I just felt of going back home. Things seemed exciting and fascinating to me but I was totally clueless of how to go about doing things and making myself settled. Luckily for me, there were people around me who helped me a lot and gave me valuable advice that was really important to me as I was new student. I met people of different culture and was overwhelmed by their sweet gesture that they meted out to me. I met people from my country and they made me feel so comfortable that not even once I missed my family and friends back home. They shared their past experiences with me and gave me their suggestions about how to go about doing things in the first week. I walked down the entire campus that day and one thought that always came to my mind was: “Wow! Such a huge Campus”.
I realised that very day that everyone must have had the same kind of feelings and everyone must have gone through the same kind of emotions that I went through when I first arrived out here. Its just a matter of time that takes for a person to settle down, but once everything gets sorted out here- “Life will be a wonderful journey, the memories of which you will cherish for a life time”

"Choose the right colours"

"Succesful use of colour is not a hit-and-miss business. By following some basic rules you can become more confident creating colour schemes and knowing the reasons for your colour choices. The most important consideration when choosing which colours to use together is the inherent characteristic of each colour. Is the colour cool (receding) or warm (aggressive)? To know which colour will best suit your scheme, you must first understand the colour definitions."

"Funky or Formal?"

"Ross’ Carpets on the Gold Coast specialises in impressive carpets for impressive houses, according to sales and marketing manager Cassandra Roney.“But the definition of impressive can vary wildly, depending on the style of home and the personality of the owner,” Cassandra admits.“One of our more recent impressive carpet installations was a funky purple and mocha retro style which is reminiscent of the era of lava lamps, bakelite and chrome in a formal lounge area. Another was Brintons carpet in gold and burgundy classic style with fleur de lis pattern and borders.”"completehome.com

"When the court house was empty, as the matters for the day had been completed, I passed her on my way out; she did not even noticed my presence until I tapped her shoulder, then without lifting her bowed head she said, “I don’t have anywhere to go; they should have dug a grave for me also."imaginingourselves.imow
