A transition of sorts

For a person with beers and free shots, a transition to wine and flavoring it has got to be a change. Earlier when I shifted to wine, I only differentiated the spicy Shiraz from the fruity Merlot. Now it is trocken(dry), halb trocken ( half dry) and lieblings ( sweet) wine ... I still don't know the taste difference in ages of wines. It is a process I guess

Finally it's Spring

Phew!!! After this really long, what seemed like never ending winter, we have Spring season! Yippee!! And we went to the Thüringen nature park today for a walk in the forest trails. Sunshine and few flowers; well that seems like a great day for Europe!

A new something

euphonious flavoured crisps, with real euphonious pieces

Peace March, a gesture for a cause

I participated in a peace march as a tribute for Nirbhaya, the 23 year old victim of Delhi gang-rape in late 2012. This peace march was organized by Udhay Kumar, a resident of Erlangen in Germany. I walked along with IWG (International Womens' Group). What really amused me is the number of people who turned up to walk and brave the -2 degree temperature. People of various nationalities walked for the cause to "Stop Violence". Several women spoke in the support of women's empowerment. It is very heartening to see the cause of women's empowerment and empathy towards a victim of brutal rape in some part of the world.

Like Mahatma Gandhi said
Be the change you want to see

All these people and events of elements of change. And I am glad to be a part of the change!

The homecoming

I am back in Bangalore this month. After a little initial glitch in getting my nerves in line with the tropical attitude. But it has been a nice tropical vacation for the last few days. I did a bit of the German homework, to put off the guilt.
Went shopping :) met friends and most of all, did what I like best. Travel!
I am off to the beach today. Hope the tropical vacation gives me some sunny mindset as well !!!!
