PRAHA !

IMG_7416

Travelling is something that makes you relate to places you have visited before, So on my recent vacation to Prague the moment I started exploring the city of Czech republic, I was reminded of Edinburgh in Scotland ,the particular setting of that place ,the statue near the Charles bridge,And the tram line towards the old town going through the architecture gave me the feeling of me being in Florence in Italy.To the extent ,the panoramic view of the city made me relate to Capri in Italy  from Petrîn hill , when I could endlessly only see red roof tops from the viewing point as compared to the White House of Capri.No,I am not boasting of being a globetrotter,But only getting you to notice how travelling to so many places has made me observe and believe,that Prague is a place having something like every European country.

The cathedrals name Being the same with only the beauty of the stained glasses around being  different.

The traditional food “goulash”  soup like curry with the option of beef,Pork and chicken and bread is popular cuisine here.That was something different since all over Europe there are only a few dishes that are wet.The “Tredlink” Pronouced Tredlin was another tasty sweet cone with sugar coated on the sides, And if you wanted to have some guilty pleasure you could add the Nutella and vanilla ice cream to go for the kill.

This trip to Prague has been one of those trips that makes you wonder Europe has everything alike,Yet is so different.

Our life !! 


There are many factors that affect our life and one of them is
,Your environment is a also a factor that moulds you as a person with the other factors that involve a humans evolvement from developing a personality that’s distinct from each human or in many ways similar to many.

But our genes also remain a factor that dominates our life in many ways ,we only realise when we study further the cause and effects of some of the medical diagnosis that has affected some of our family members.

With so much of us,from many of us it’s impossible not to have a question ,why is that way we have to be like this ?

I mean isn’t there anybody in the world who doesn’t have a single background to him/her at all ?
Of course the answer would be the very fact we are born in the world is because of the reproduction through two souls meeting each other .And that’s when we are born .

But the birth itself,gives us some qualities that we don’t believe we are born with or are either enhanced while growing up or while being compared by our parents amongst themselves and the child.

But what if the child wants to try something new that’s not being even thought of or even thought one day one of the family member could ever think About .
Why should one be denied,for one who thinks,he is capable rather confident about doing something in this Big Big World.

High Mountains of Portugal – A Book Review

high_mountains_of_portugal

 

Yann Martel is the author of Life of Pi, the #1 international bestseller and winner of the 2002 Man Booker (among many other prizes) and “High Mountains of Portugal”  Is his most recent work that has been published this year .

“High Mountains of Portugal” -Yann Martel 

In Lisbon in 1904, a young man named Tomás discovers an old journal. It hints at the existence of an extraordinary artifact that—if he can find it—would redefine history. Traveling in one of Europe’s earliest automobiles, he sets out in search of this strange treasure.This is  the 1st part of the story  where the character is homeless,lonely grieving about his loss .

the 2nd part of the story homewards is where the story takes a gap and takes us through another characters journeys  ,Thirty-five years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the center of a mystery of his own and drawn into the consequences of Tomás’s quest.

Fifty years on, a Canadian senator takes refuge in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. But he arrives with an unusual companion: a chimpanzee. And there the century-old quest will come to an unexpected conclusion.The third and final part of the story is home where the story concludes after another Fifty years on, a Canadian senator takes refuge in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. But he arrives with an unusual companion: a chimpanzee. And there the century-old quest will come to an unexpected conclusion.

The moment you read what the book  is about ,You want to give it a read.The book is written in three parts homeless,Homeward and home. And its  interesting  since its about three stories  that has a common conclusion and very descriptive,describing every detail and making the reader imagine the setting as if he is there. The story is a little odd and not every reader will enjoy this.

 The book blurb has one thought that makes you question –

Three journeys.Three broken hearts . One question …

What’s life without stories ?

 

Death-when It comes .

life-09Death is something that everybody who is born on earth has to go through it in life,But when someone dies fighting for our country we call him a martyr,some one who isn’t responsible for his death and dies untimely is called a victim,someone who dies for somebody is known to sacrifice his/her life.Someone who dies at 80-90 we says its old age ,Someone who dies very young 0-50 we says it wasn’t fair for their family or on them.All I mean to say is why do we give these tags of them being a hero,victim or sacrificing lives ?

These are the people who have chosen to be part of the life they have chosen ,or have accidentally become part of it and would only be addressed the way they live their life .

So why give that extra importance to things that matter very less,You know because we like to dramatise things and like to give it more importance than it normally deserves .

Being simple is boring and hence life and death is something we all just have given tags to.
