Have you felt that we tend to develop a prominent feeling to any place we visit. For example, when I think of 'hosptial', the word that immediately pops up in my mind is 'smell' and for 'school', it is 'homework';
These are not only words, but also description of what that place means to us.
Here is an attempt to write my immediate feelings towards some of the places I have visited, worked, lived etc. Might have forgotten a handful of places I have been to - but again, this is an immediate list.
Its fun making one - try it to know !

In the journey of life...
I wanna be a globetrotter and visit 75% of the countries in my lifetime!
That's the objective of my being in the world and currently in the beautiful Netherlands. Though I had been to this country seven years ago, I did not realise the beauty of this palce.
After visiting the Dutch villages, the world famous windmills and the most lovely and beautiful Tulip gardens, I stand corrected on my views.
Another amazing factor is the cheese and milk products- never expected them to be as delicious as they are here! (Need to check my weight!)
Planning to write a few blogs on the sights and experience I am having in Holland!
Life is an enjoyable journey, isn't it?
