Time... plz go slow

Most things in life come unexpected, so this morning...  

Woke up early both me and my wife and she decided to make a super cup of hot tea.  It was amazing weather post rain last night and with tea and wonderful conversion about the world we live in, our lives and lives of people we know, I felt it was one of that small pebbles of life, a memory worth cherishing... Tuning on to Radio One and listening to evergreen songs in background added the much needed spice to the atmosphere... 

Well I have always heard from elders telling to get up early from bed and enjoy the nature around us and I almost enjoyed this after long time.  A thought cross my mind, can't we tell time to go slow.. there are still numerous memories to be created and cherished...

Stay in touch...

Stay in Touch

Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Happy Independence Day !!!

Happy Independence Day

To all those who Cherish and to all those who take it for Granted, wishing you a Happy Independence Day!!!

Top 9 Travel Tips

Read an interesting article on Paulo's blog... sharing for benefit of all...

I realised very early on that, for me, traveling was the best way of learning. I still have a pilgrim soul, and I thought that I would use this blog to pass on some of the lessons I have learned, in the hope that they might prove useful to other pilgrims like me.

1. Avoid museums. This might seem to be absurd advice, but let’s just think about it a little: if you are in a foreign city, isn’t it far more interesting to go in search of the present than of the past? It’s just that people feel obliged to go to museums because they learned as children that travelling was about seeking out that kind of culture. Obviously museums are important, but they require time and objectivity – you need to know what you want to see there, otherwise you will leave with a sense of having seen a few really fundamental things, except that you can’t remember what they were.

2. Hang out in bars. Bars are the places where life in the city reveals itself, not in museums. By bars I don’t mean nightclubs, but the places where ordinary people go, have a drink, ponder the weather, and are always ready for a chat. Buy a newspaper and enjoy the ebb and flow of people. If someone strikes up a conversation, however silly, join in: you cannot judge the beauty of a particular path just by looking at the gate.

3. Be open. The best tour guide is someone who lives in the place, knows everything about it, is proud of his or her city, but does not work for any agency. Go out into the street, choose the person you want to talk to, and ask them something (Where is the cathedral? Where is the post office?). If nothing comes of it, try someone else – I guarantee that at the end of the day you will have found yourself an excellent companion.

4. Try to travel alone or – if you are married – with your spouse. It will be harder work, no one will be there taking care of you, but only in this way can you truly leave your own country behind. Traveling with a group is a way of being in a foreign country while speaking your mother tongue, doing whatever the leader of the flock tells you to do, and taking more interest in group gossip than in the place you are visiting.

5. Don’t compare. Don’t compare anything – prices, standards of hygiene, quality of life, means of transport, nothing! You are not traveling in order to prove that you have a better life than other people – your aim is to find out how other people live, what they can teach you, how they deal with reality and with the extraordinary.

6. Understand that everyone understands you. Even if you don’t speak the language, don’t be afraid: I’ve been in lots of places where I could not communicate with words at all, and I always found support, guidance, useful advice, and even girlfriends. Some people think that if they travel alone, they will set off down the street and be lost for ever. Just make sure you have the hotel card in your pocket and – if the worst comes to the worst – flag down a taxi and show the card to the driver.

7. Don’t buy too much. Spend your money on things you won’t need to carry: tickets to a good play, restaurants, trips. Nowadays, with the global economy and the Internet, you can buy anything you want without having to pay excess baggage.

8. Don’t try to see the world in a month. It is far better to stay in a city for four or five days than to visit five cities in a week. A city is like a capricious woman: she takes time to be seduced and to reveal herself completely.

9. A journey is an adventure. Henry Miller used to say that it is far more important to discover a church that no one else has ever heard of than to go to Rome and feel obliged to visit the Sistine Chapel with two hundred thousand other tourists bellowing in your ear. By all means go to the Sistine Chapel, but wander the streets too, explore alleyways, experience the freedom of looking for something – quite what you don’t know – but which, if you find it, will – you can be sure – change your life.

Powerful Hallucinogen - Love

The most powerful hallucinogen in this planet is called Love. 

Highly addictive! you will see and hear things that don't exist

 - Paulo Coelho

I had been fan of Paulo Coelho from the time I started reading 'The Alchemist', few years before.  However, after he has became active on facebook recently, he posted this wonderful thought on his wall and I couldn't wait to share it along my friend list.  This has define Love from a very realistic angle and no doubt young people will never agree to it, till they reach to my age.  

Sharing this on blog to make it a remembrance of the fact that after I shared this thought on the facebook, I heard about two heartbreaking relationships, which I thought could never turn sour.  

May God Bless All !!! Amen !!!
