View from the Shard

-


Western Europe's tallest building, from where you can get 360 view of the densely populated  London City. When we went there it was gloomy and windy, weather wise, but the view was still amazing and also, they will refund the ticket if, due to the weather, you were unable to get the proper view...

Sisters of the World

Laura always says I call everyone I meet, my soul something (soul friend, soul mate, soul manager)  but it is true that I have met soul sisters in every face of the earth but when you were wearing that baby blue scarf the other day, two days after when you handed in your three years' worth of work. You were exhausted on the fourth day but still, you came.  Let me remind you, you were light as that sky, but whenever they made a business out of your rock and claimed it to be theirs, they forgot that God made that rock too. Whenever your faith stood puzzled in between the whistle of your doorstep and up to the rooftop of your spine, I stood bare shoulder in the front room wishing for a better view. But that time when the ignorant old belief took a sword out on your baby blue, it left me black and blue... First, the American Dream got trickled down through the world. Second, it opened the door for one sheep to enter. Third, a flock of fears were peeping through the wi...

Renting a car in Italy, Parking in Venice and Fresh Orange Juice

Dress from Whistles Shop here Arena Di Verona Juliet's Balcony Things to keep in mind when renting a car in Italy: You have to have a  credit card  as the lady explained to me that debit card   is not a guarantee in Italy so most of the car rentals only provide services if you have a credit card. We didn't have a credit card so our booking was non-refundable! Moving on, there are companies that will let you rent a car with a debit card but you have to pay for a full insurance, which means it will be much more expensive. The total renting a car per day for us was €95 with the deposit of €100 for the fuel that means the insurance includes theft too! So you actually will have a peace of mind.

Lily's fatal love

-
Lily checked in the bunk bed above me. It was before Christmas.   Every morning, driving in a lush green countryside to my work, back in England, I dreamt of being in a sunny Australia- Melbourne, to be specific. I have been here before and I loved it. So, there was a bit of certainty that I would love it amongst the waves of uncertainty my direction of life was heading towards.  “You must have really loved it to come back here, again.” - said John. John was to be my gym buddy during my last few days of stay in Melbourne. Yes, I really did love Melbourne, even though it was my first understanding of how the world is not carefully curated inside of your comfort zone and getting out of the comfort zone is not a pretty sight in any given situation. So many times, this city straight down punched me on my gut, slapped me right on my beliefs, and drowned me onto my fears. I walked drenched- soaked in thoughts of leaving the city- only to find a next laundrette, where I coul...
