Gary that is a real nice read, any place you have not been to. Having been born in India my only regreat is not having seen more of it. Every time I go, i have little time away from family. Sometimes I wish I could go there as a tourist.
Narayan, that is an inspiring ad, it is a shame that as adults we lose that wonder and innocence. The world was so much better when i did not know as much, it felt safer. As we grow so do our insecurities.
One of my favourite songs from the film Refugee speaks volumes on the matter.
panchhi nadiya pawan ke jhonke, koi sarhad na inhe roke
sarhad insano ke liye hain, socho tumne aur maine kya paya insan hoke
Translated (roughly).
The birds, the rivers and the breaze, no border can stop them nor inhibit them. Borders are for people, think what have we gained by being human.
Inshallah some day we shall not just admire nature and the universe but learn from it the leasons it has to teach us. Lest we be doomed to keep repeating the past.
