Troubles at heathrow to Home sweet home

I reached Heathrow at time save Mohhamed for his audy despite gushy wind and rains, At airport security they have new rules which were not in affect when I arrived hence I had to get rid of some of the stuff I carried from India including some clothes, If I colud donate them to a needy there won't be any afterthought but I had to dump them in garbage bin :-(.
Yet the cabin baggage allowances came in between as the new law inforces only one cabig baggage and they have started considering laptop computers as one, so had to check-in my supposed to be cabin baggage without contents and an additional attache case was dumped too, they should enforce new laws after giving some considerable notice period that way unnecessary troubles could be avoided.

Later on met some people who had managed to take additional 10-15 kgs on board becasue the tags for cabin baggage were not checked and there was no procedure for weighing cabin baggage being taken onboard just before check-in - A lesson for future may and a loop hole they must look into.
My brother greeted me on airport at lucknow and suddenly heathrow and london were no were in active scene, the way miond functions is hilarious it was trying to be preoccupied with heathrow incident though there was no need for it, past had already passed me long before.

Considering my allergies to dog hair my family had finally managed to house break my dogs and they were no where to be seen in living room - it came as a relief with a bit of sadness as well for the poor creatures didn't understand why they were not allowed to play around the house admist us and the sadness were evident in their eyes, specially diana seemed little nervous while holding her instincts to play around as I arrived, if I could overcome this allergy it would have been great for both of us, but till the time I can't ,she will have to bear with it - i suppose, though I don't want them to be left out like this.

Thge feeling and expression here in India are totally different and more vivid, it was complete home coming if put literally, back there in UK feelings are a castaway shaows and so are expressions of love and affection -if this is the right way to express I would.
So here I am enjoying the home coming to fullest.
