Ohh Canada

As I was surfing through Internet I came across my Blog which I did not access from Long time i.e. more then 2 years now. I feel very Pity on my self and finally decide to pen down some thing for my next one.

Lot of topics were coming in my mind covering various things like Socio-Economic Revolution in Kalahandi, Political Scenario in India, COAL India OFS by GOI, Real Estate Investment in Bangalore , Home Loan Tips, Stock Market Share Valuations, Complex Home Loan Interest Rate Computing   (Quarterly Rest VS Monthly VS Daily) … Finally I calmed down my inner state of mind and decided “why not write some thing about my real life Experience so far in the beautiful City of Canada, Toronto “

I still remember the announcement on a Long winter Mid Night of 16^th Dec 2009 @ Bangalore International Airport 

 “May I have your attention Please, Flight No XXX from Bangalore to Frankfurt is ready to take off  all passengers are requested to fasten their seat belt “

Yes I was travelling from Bangalore to Toronto via Frankfurt on 16^th Dec 2009 in Lufthansa Airlines. It was a Mixed feeling as I was about to miss my family, my near and dear ones, my Friends and Home Food Of course among the Long list of Things to be Missed .  Also I was under a great fear that "how I am going to manage the professional team there in Canada which constitutes of people from all parts of the worlds (The Asians, Europeans, and Americans) ".

Suddenly before the flight take off I got a Sweet message that gave a boost of Confidence and brought a Smile on my face “Have a Great Journey and Take Care of Your Self “ .. Yes I still remember that message and later on the girl who sent that became my better half in 2012.   After having a Nice dinner @ around 3:00 A.M  I had a Nice sleep and when I woke Up I was in  a completely new land called Frankfurt ,  , the nerve of Germany with un known people and un known language. I took the transit and finally reached Toronto Pearson International Airport at the Noon 2:00 P.M Local Time.

Few Initial months of my stay here went on getting adjusted to the Canadian Winter and adjusting my self at the new work place and new work culture. The best part came after 10-15 days i.e  when I experienced the 1^st Snow Fall of my Life. Yes I saw my first Snow Fall here and got a privilege to enjoy it fully at my best.  Mother Earth becomes so romantic in Canada during Snow Fall . Every where you can see tiny small drop plates of Snow in the name of “Flurries “   and let me confirm you one thing the Winter here runs for 5 Months of Heavy Snow Storms .  Normally Canadians observed 3 Months of Summer , 6 Months of Winter and 3 Months of Spring. Houses here are designed in such a manner that you feel relief during the winter like the Hard Wood Flooring, the wooden Partition between walls, Central / Self Controlled HEATING SYSTEM. I enjoyed a great stay here with Comfort and Luxury. You will get every thing here by a single Mouse Click or a Phone Call or by a walk.

The best part of Canada which makes it UNIQUE among other countries is the Health Care System. Canada spends 18% of its GDP on Health Care and Immunization. You can get everything free covered here from a Doctor Consultation to a major Operation like Heart Stroke / Cancer / any other major Surgeries. We enjoyed a world class Medication during our 3.5 years of Stay. I still remember the time when I went to the Doctor to have a Diagnosis on Gas / Acidity. The doctor did not gave me a single medicine how ever he did a full body check up starting Blood, Urine. Stool, BMI, Food Habits, Cholesterol etc. The thing that impressed me is for a small thing also they use to do a lot of impact analysis and recommends the best medication using the latest techniques of Medical Science. Let me clear one thing CANADA is worlds #1 place for Medicine and pharmacy. They have the best in the world and 100% covered by the Government.
