The Beginning

It had been on my mind for quite sometime now, to start blogging but I guess out of hesitance and reluctance (amongst many reasons unknown) this thing had been left unattended to. Sitting comfortably in my room and grudging about the weather my thoughts ponder to 'life'.
Life, changes its course many times throughout the year. It would be at its best, offering joy and happiness; success and achievements; friends and laughter. We are so enthralled by it that we continue to take things for going in our favor every time. But occasionally life may not be the same as you had hoped for and most of the times you even don't have control over these things and then at times like these we feel dejected and give up on things easily. A slight glitch makes us to think that we are unfortunate!
Life can be blissful if we understand that its neither completely abstract nor fully absolute. It's rather a unique composition imbued with soft and shrill tones. It would be so much better if we gracefully accept disjointed facets as smoothly as we accept the fine one's to recreate puzzle called life.
PS- I learnt today writing 1 time is far greater than reading 100 times :D

Road-trip to Andalusia! (Part-1)

My brother and I decided to undertake a road trip, our first in the EU this summer. The entire idea for this trip was based around the question-  what can be seen in 2 weeks time WITHOUT having to use too much from personal vacation days.  In Germany, there are usually several public holidays during May and June, and by taking just a week off + some accumulated over hours, one can actually plan a trip of 12-14 days! After extensively checking the map for the possible road routes, flight fares, ease of accommodation, and avoiding overly touristy places, we zeroed in on Spain. Upon further research, we decided to cover the Andalusia region, which is the southernmost autonomous community in Peninsular Spain. I had heard about it from colleagues who had visited the region, and a little background check from our end, with constraints mentioned as above, gave us the impression that it was indeed the place to go. We decided to do a quadrilateral trip and combined major cities lik...

In an August Company of Friends!

The past few months have been enervating on so many levels. There have been good days and bad days, days I’ve loathed and whined and wanted them to get over with, days I’ve looked forward to meeting old friends which was reassuring on so many levels that you still share the same camaraderie with them and that time, place, job, distance hasn’t ruined the perfect relationship of insanity that you were/are bounded with, to begin with :D I’ve met new people, I meet newer people almost every other day and I know what it means feels like to just share a smile with somebody. I’ve met my old friends, friends from school and college, friends I’ve recently made and had a gala time. Sometime back in July/August I met my friends from Hyderabad here, who were in and around Delhi, kind of them to have traveled all the way to yellow line, just to meet me! We had indulged in banter having laughed our lungs out. Since the common topic for us was *the job* we didn’t shy ourselves from indulging i...

Empathy is the soul of Humanity

I am a student from India who has been oscillating betwixt Germany and France for over two years now, as part of my higher education. I am proud of my roots, the culture which I have inherited, the many customs and traditions that I’ve been exposed to as part of my growing years and the better sense of judgement that has come along with it, unknowingly.  Until one day, when I consciously made a decision to throw myself into a civilization that is far different from ours, both in terms of customs and social interaction. The first few months had been taxing; I noticed I was very observant and somehow critical of almost everything around me. I found people rude when I constantly heard them abhorring me for not speaking their ‘national’ language, the announcements on trains made no sense to me, grocery shopping felt like a dreadful task and so on. But one fine day, when my classes resumed I realized that almost all of us, including the students from the aforementioned countries wer...
