Trip to Paris

First time i heard this word "Paris" was, while watching a Bollywood movie, during my childhood days. At that time, had no clue which part of the world this place exists but as shown in the movie, it was very beautiful. While growing up, came to know more things like - French Language, French Cuisine and how French are the most romantic in the world.

Since, French language is one of the most spoken language across the world, joined 6 month course to learn that. During that time, came to know how amazing Paris is. Applied and got my Schengen visa in 3 working days.

Now the toughest part, accommodation and Flight tickets. After rigorous search across multiple sites, got the best deal for the hotel. Super amazing location, with Metro station and Super market within 5 mins walking distance.

During my US trip, one of the colleagues had suggested Turkish Airlines coz it has more leg room. Luckily, there was an offer on Turkish Airlines for Mumbai to Paris. I just jumped and booked my flight tickets. I must admit Turkish Airlines has more leg room than any other airline primarily, Lufthansa, Cathay Pacific or United.

Enough of the talk, let's start the sight seeing -

National Geographic describes the design of Centre Pompidou as “Love at second sight”. Centre Pompidou houses the Bibliothèque publique d’information, a vast public library and the Musée National d’Art Moderne.
National Museum of Modern Art is the largest museum for modern and contemporary art and is internationally renowned for its 20th and 21st Century art collections, with more than 100,000 works of art by 6400 artists from 90 countries.
The Hôtel de Ville has been the headquarters of the municipality of Paris since 1357.  The building is decorated with 108 statues, representing famous Parisians. Thirty other statues represent French cities. The clock at the central tower is adorned with several feminine sculptures representing the Seine river, the city of Paris, “Work” and “Education”.
Moulin Rouge - Moulin Rouge, offers musical dance entertainment for visitors from around the world. The club's decor still contains much of the romance of fin de siècle France. There is also a Hollywood movie with the same name - Moulin Rouge.
Fontaine du Palmier - The Fontaine du Palmier is one of the historical fountains in Paris and was designed to commemorate the victories of Napoleon Bonaparte. It is the largest fountain built during Napoleon’s reign still in existence which is now classified as an historical monument in Paris

Is it an illusion or real world - II

If you live in India, you often have heard from your spiritual leaders / Gurus that this world is " Maya ". But if you ask them what exactly is the Maya, they will just recite some versus from some religious book and leave you no where. I have been contemplating this for a while and came to the answer that Maya is nothing but what other people make you feel / believe. For example if you watch all the Harry Potter movies many times over a period of time, you tend to believe that Harry Potter is real. You might even search for "Hogwarts" school on google. But this isn't real, it's just a fiction created by 1 person which makes you believe it's real. I will call it as it's her Maya that makes you believe that Harry Potter is Real. So, if one person imagination can make you believe of something which is NOT real as Real than imagine the power of existence, who created us. It's that power which make us believe that we are living in a real world

Is there a true love?

Last night a friend called up saying she want to discuss something. I went to her place and she was crying. After sometime, i asked her what happened? She said - her love story is now ended completely. I asked her, to tell me the complete thing to which she said, they had a bad fight and now its all over . I feel very happy that finally its over but still to make sure, i asked her - Is this story finally over or is it that after some days you will start cribbing again about this guy? To this she said, No No, this time it's completely over. Somehow i still dont believe her, as this is almost 100 time in the last few months that she said that her love story is over. This guy treats her very bad, even say bad words which otherwise you dont say it. Still this girl does not listen or want to move on but want to stick with the same guy. Strange thing is - many girls fall in love with those people who are either already engaged/married or who dont treat them nicely. I happen to ask

Other Aspect

I always wonder how people create perception by looking at only one side. How our society impose things upon us, even when they themselves do not know the other side of the story, or perhaps they dont want to know. We often say, every coin has 2 sides then how come all these things/stories have only 1 end, which have been shown to us. Is it that the other end is more painful? Or is it that it will reveal the true color of their " Heroes "? I would like to give few examples: 1) Every Year, we burn the effigies of Ravan, Meghnath & Kumbkaran. Reason is, coz Ravan kidnap Sita, wife of Ram. But we often forget that it was Ram & his Brother who first humiliated Ravan's sister. All she had asked Ram was to marry her. Well, I dont see any wrong in that, not sure how many of you will see this as a wrong thing. I mean she had just " Asked " him to marry her. According to one south indian scripture Sita was ugly and was not beautiful, whereas Ravan's
