Brugge

I have been to Brugge during my bachelor life (way back in 2008). Back then, I went to Boudewijn Sea Park.
After that, this time, we (my wife and I) were planning to visit the ice sculpture. We went by train from Brussels. The ice sculpture is located right at the entrance of the Brugge station .

The ice sculpture I must accept, was simply amazing.400 tons of ice were used and more than 12 sculptors were involved in it from different countries.

This time, the theme was based on "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" and "Hobbit". The temperature inside was -6 degrees. Even with a proper sweater plus jacket, I was shivering inside (literally after many months).. But that did not stop us our enjoyment.

Some Sculptures were like Titans and some were literal palace like structure (even the chains were made of Ice). It was an amazing piece of wok!!!

Overall it was an amazing experience to visit and enjoy the sculptures.

Next plan is to visit Damme and the sea Park ;-)

Cheers!!

End of 2012 - Happy New Year 2013!!!

Yet another year passes.. This year was good to me personally.....Except for a few days...

There were lot of highs in this year for me - touchwood.

Right from car driving to exploring new places, I explored many new things...

Some people were predicting "End of World". For them, I wish better luck next time ;-)

For everyone else, I wish U a fun filled, happy, healthy, propserous and a blessed New Year 2013...

Cheers!!

Defeat

This is one such word, I often hate to tell. I believe that when one says he is defeated, he loses the fighter in him.

I myself sometimes keep trying till I knew there is not even a 1% chance of success.

But one thing keeps defeating me and take my beloved ones away from me. That is "Death". I seldom utter this type of word. But during my recent visit to India, I lost my paternal grand father. For many, it was not a big sorrow as he lived a long, peaceful life. But for me, I have lost a Kohinoor Diamond. Somehow, I could not take it in a practical sense. I am still coming to terms with the fact that he is no more.

I know, I cannot win this battle, but this was the day, I dreaded to imagine even in my dreams. My heart does not accept any loss for that matter.

I hope I will be alright soon!!
