Belgrade!

So,I am in Belgrade. Not a part of the world many people from our sub-continent go to. In the last almost-a -month I have seen only one Indian looking person, so there. It is quite nice around here, if you discount the constant staring you are subjected to ( I'm guessing it is the skin colour, also, apparently they are big on eye contact!). The autumnish now chilly-now sunny weather is working for me, except for the occasional rains. The people are really, genuinely nice. The only problem is the language, but then you can always get away with pointing and smiling., and anyway most young people speak English.

I don't have much to say here right now, except that I am experiencing a wonderful inner quiet and peace. My normally actively overworking mind seems to have burnt out. The space created by the removal of unwanted melodrama makes me really happy and content, and I am keeping everything in pairs crossed,just to keep it that way :)

Here are two pictures I took on my way back from the observatory. It was a fine, sunny day. 


The light looks lovely on this one. It was one of those days when all you want is to lie on the grass with a book and a cold drink.



I am sure everyone must have seen some version of this flower/seed thingy a lot. This was my first :)


Till we meet again...so long :) !!!
