• Aachen, Radhadesh, Dusseldorf for the 44th

  

  For my 44th my only wish was to pray. To thank God for the blessings. To let go and trust the cosmos. It was a sweet little road trip. It’s almost May, and I still carry with me: the smell of incense, the sound of bells, and a sense of calm.

• Bohemian Ifs and Classical Butts at the Hermitage

  

  I had mentioned in my previous post of how we had spent a day at the Hermitage Museum and I wanted to share the pictures with you. It was a day of contrasts: the classical beauties in the museum alongside the rusted beauties on the canals. Each unique in their own way. I was hesitant to…

• Day Out in Delft

  

  Delft is such a pretty little town. It is quaint with crisscrossing canals and arched bridges, cobbled pathways, brickwork, delftware, old architecture, quirky leaning Oude Kerk and the shiny towering Nieuwe Kerk, imposing City Hall, and impressive museums. We planned a day out to enjoy the Museum Prinsenhof. One day was not enough, clearly we…

• We must Feast: Vaals trip learning

  

  The biggest learning, which 2017 brought for me, was that things often do not go as planned, and that is a gift. As an INTJ – MBTI profile I am a goal-oriented person. I make lists. I systematically work towards tackling the topics on my list. I diligently mark them off, one by one, in order,…

• The dance of Gods

• PK after thodi si peeke

  

  Have the reviews and counter-reviews for PK died down? Because, in that case, now would be a good time to write down my thoughts about the movie. For starters: I did enjoy the film and here I will try to delve a little into why I was motivated to do so, amongst usual blog-like meanderings.…
