Schloss Nymphemburg

 

I love this photo, something eerie yet surreal about it.

Kindly, happily, lovingly....

Yesterday two things happened that has not left my mind. Both completely different, but both very beautiful. I was leaving the counter after paying for the daily supplies in Lidl, when the person in front of me, who was packing his items, dropped a bottle of nescafe. Before he could finish cursing himself, the cashier ( who was pretty, which goes without saying from here on ), rushed to the spot and cleared the glass pieces and the coffee. And in a jiffy, she went to the coffee section and brought back a new jar of Nescafe, and handed it to the 'now relieved and much happier' man. This was an example of the kindness and politeness of the people here, and though we are used to this now, Ketan and I couldnt resist discussing how the situation would have unfolded if the same thing had happened in India. The greetings to strangers when you enter or leave lifts, the pleasant smiles and sweet 'Halo', 'Bitte schön' or 'Schön Abend' s , always brightens my mood, and is something really remarkable about this place.

The second incident involved a couple, who were fighting in the U-Bahn station. The guy was very loud, and though I didnt understand anything, it was clear that they were having a heated argument. They get into the same compartment as mine, take their places, but dont utter a word. They get off at the next station, and the guy puts his hand forward towards her. She pauses for a second, then holds his hand and they smile. And I couldnt help smiling either. Sometimes I dont understand love, but for me, what I saw, was just lovely.

There is no room for any negative thoughts here. There is too much love and happiness in the air. This space will concentrate on 'feel good' thoughts. I feel very happy nowadays. I think it is because of the summer, and the sunshine, hotness ( pun intended ) , beautiful people (including my friends) and all the games I am playing. Time to change the background color.
