Toploader - Dancing in The Moonlight


Briefly: I love my internship experience in India - I love the people that I meet here.
This song is just a summary of this colorful week: Latino parties, joint Kazakh- Latino cooking evenings, tons of laugh and dances in the moonlight, and sunrises in the mornings, and incredibly amazing PEOPLE! Thank you, guys! Thank you, AIESEC!

Divine moment


Understanding of the right place, the right time and the right step in life is a powerful self-motivation for me. It hit me today: I was spending an evening in one of the parks of Hyderabad, I wanted to find a peaceful place and simply enjoy the scenery and harmony. The Lumbini Park next to the Hussain Sagar lake is one of the options, though it is an amusement park and is quite noisy one. My friend and I went by boat to see the statue of Buddha- that statue we heard of and read in online guides a lot.



A grandiose high stone masterpiece welcomed visitors along with a harmonious silent music. The warmest wind and pink purple yellow cloudless sky juiced the divine moment! Throughout the time we spent at the lake, next to the statue, in the park, watching a laser show with a thorough digital history of Hyderabad, listening to Indian music .... ah, I just felt it with all my heart - Hyderabad is my Indian hometown. It is my home for this year, it is my country for this year, and I am responsible for everything that happens to me this year. Let it be the good. Let it be a disappointment. Let it be happiness. Let it be discoveries. A-ha moments. Love. Harmony. Peace.

Thank you my dear friend for reminding simple things that matter.

A Farewell Letter

If for an instant God were to forget that I am rag doll and gifted me with a piece of life,
possibly I wouldn't say all that I think,
but rather I would think of all that I say.

I would value things,
not for their worth but for what they mean.
I would sleep little, dream more,
understanding that for each minute we close our eyes we lose sixty seconds of light.
I would walk when others hold back.
I would wake when others sleep.
I would listen when others talk,
and how I would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream!

If God were to give me a piece of life,
I would dress simply,
throw myself face first into the sun,
baring not only my body but also my soul.

My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hate on ice,
and wait for the sun to show.
Over the stars I would paint with a Van Gogh dream a Benedetti poem,
and a Serrat song would be the serenade I'd offer to the moon.

With my tears I would water roses,
to feel the pain of their thorns,
and the red kiss of their petals.

My God, if I had a piece of life...
I wouldn't let a single day pass without telling the people I love that I love them.
I would convince each woman and each man that they are my favorites,
and I would live in love with love.
I would show men how very wrong they are to think that they cease to be in love when they grow old,
not knowing that they grow old when they cease to love!

To a child I shall give wings,
but I shall let him learn to fly on his own.
I would teach the old that death does not come with old age,
but with forgetting.

So much have I learned from you, oh men...
I have learned that everyone wants to live on the peak of the mountain,
without knowing that real happiness is in how it is scaled.
I have learned that when a newborn child squeezes for the first time with his tiny fist his father's finger,
he has him trapped forever.

I have learned that a man has the right to look down on another only when he has to help the other get to his feet.

From you I have learned so many things,
but in truth they won't be of much use,
for when I keep them within this suitcase,
unhappily shall I be dying.

Love

This word totally describes my state of mind in India right now.
Short. Precise. Rich. Infinite.

Explanation is simple: I feel so much relaxed and calm. Like when you are lazily sleeping on a beach, sipping a fresh fruit cocktail and breathing love that is in the air. Indescribable !

India, India... You are so different. You are so magnificent. You are so warm. You are so sweet. You are so full of love.

One of my dearest moments I encounter often is when I commute by a rickshaw somewhere, and he drives crazily. I am at this moment loving the wind that embraces me, that holds my face and that whispers different stories to me...

I feel so much in love at these moments

Incredible India.
