Easter Time !!

Salvate all, hope everyone is around. Its Easter time which means time for prayers, get-together, shopping and celebrations. Easter is celebrated on a grand scale in all parts of UK and Manchester is no exception. There are events organized by the council and some by other private societies at city center. The buzz in the market streets makes it lively and appealing. There will be discounts and offers on many items sold in major stores like Next, Debenhams etc., which means its a great opportunity for shopaholics to fulfill their appetite. The restaurants, nightclubs and pubs will also be bustling with great deals, food and live music to let your hair down. On top of all these, summer is exhilarating here with sunny and breezy days. So you would see lot of young crowd soaking under the sun and living it up wherever you go. Trafford center is one place to visit during Easter time. If I havn't mentioned about Trafford center in my previous blogs shame on me :(
Because it is one of the biggest shopping centers in the whole Europe and is just stone throw away from city center. The Trafford Center is popularly known for its vivid and quirky resemblance to a rococo/late baroque architectural style and is home for plethora of retail stores, cinema, restaurants and other fun activities. An ideal day out in Trafford center would be shop till you drop, when you drop grab some yummy Nando's chicken (I would highly recommend coz its my all time fav which even beats my fav grill chicken back home in India) and then some bowling to digest the food. There are other fun activities too if you aren't great bowling fan. There is no better time than Easter to visit Trafford and loosen your purse strings. Ladies would love it and wouldn't want to leave the place so boys better watch out for your credit card bills ;-)
So it doesn't matter if you are an atheist or religious but Easter is fun here. I personally spent the Easter weekend in Manchester and now cooling my heels in Leeds with couple of my old buddies. Can't tell you guys how much I am missing Manchester and just raring to get back. While this is the buzz outside for Easter, university takes off as most of the students and staff go on a holiday. There will also be some events organized by student council for those who stay back. Alright now, I have to get back to studies and prepare for my exams and assignments. Well let me reveal you guys a little secret about my MBA. There will be a study trip to abroad all expenses paid by the University as part of your curriculum and that is going to happen in the month of May for us. The best part is where we would be going to and I am not going to reveal that now. You should watch out for my next blog for that, so stay tuned folks ;-))
