Travel

Travel in my opinion is the best way to learn. I love to look at places from the perspective of the native.

Looking at a place with rose glasses might distort the view. But looking at it from a native's shoes gives us an image of the place as it is but also helps us capture the essence of the place - what would it be like to wake up to the stunning view of the sun over the Grand Canyon? Or watch the endless Niagara falls free flow into a bottomless pit??

Will I stop to stare at the falling snow or just move by as if it was an every day occurance and just curse the traffic delay?

Love at the terminal

Romance can strike you at the most unexpected of times. The most improbable of them all I think is a terminal in a busy airport.

Is love about feeling miserable without your loved one? I thought love was supposed to strengthen your resolve and make you move mountains. It did, but also bought out an overwelming compulsion to spend more time with my lover and have endless hours of conversation.

Preparing for an hour of conversation took a day, but when the time came my thoughts were mostly extempore. And I could not remember what I ever spoke about. I guess I now know what sweet nothings is all about.

I never had the fire crakers and star burst, but if the flutter in my heart and the grin in my face is an indication, I am most certainly in love.
