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?

Know ur sleep...
Wanna post something today, but donno what: Here are some interesting facts abt Sleep!!
Reasons for sleeping and waking up early.
Evening from 9 - 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic
chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).
This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music.
If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as
washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this
will have a negative impact on health.
Evening from 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver,
and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also
ideally done in a deep sleep stat.
Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there
will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time.
Since the detoxification process has reached the respiratory tract,
there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with
toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you
should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier,
before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very
beneficial to those wanting to stay ft. Those who always skip
breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to
eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of
removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am
is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a
good sleep and don't sleep late.

I am a traveller...
Its yet another beautiful morning! Only that the sunrays have been banned and the city has been taken over by Mr.Fog and Ms.Foggy. How I wish I have come to this city for holidays instead of work! And still, do I crib? Definitely not.
It is a city where you can see people of all colors, different nationalities from all continents speaking so many languages, people practising different professions - in formals, semi-casuals,partywear and what not! Many a time I hear Hindi or Tamil and turn my head only to see that I am in Amsterdam!
Anyone will love this place and everyone would like to be here atleast once. This is my second visit here and I still have got lots to explore. I came here as a tourist seven years ago and what stayed in my mind was the trams, rains and museums. I missed viewing the most beautiful Tulips blossoming then. I sincerely hope to see them in full blooms this onset of summer.
