Whose responsibility is personal growth? People might ask why such a question should arise in the first place. Of course, it is one’s own responsibility. But this question is important. Because people like to relieve themselves of this responsibility by putting the onus on God, on divine powers or on their Guru. In fact, some people who live in the shadow of a highly capable person, willingly like to make themselves incapable of progress. Some say that we are ordinary people. It is not possible for us to grow. They create a fence of their own ordinariness. They fail to recognize the truth that, after crossing this fence, an ordinary Mohandas became a Mahatma.
( Translated from original Marathi book - Manogati - written by Dr. Anand Nadkarni)
So we are back on the wonderful cruise. I hope my previous entry about the same piqued your interest a little. It been 2 weeks now since I took the cruise but there are some buildings which still pop out vividly in my mind and this blog is about those. The first among those is the gothic tribune tower.
With Globalisation, every huge metropolis has become similar in many aspects. But if you keep your eyes wide open - there are subtle nuances which point out the unique traits in each city. As a tourist, I love discovering such things and if someone asks me what I found unique in Chicago, my answer would definitely be the Architecture tour on Chicago river.The experience of looking at views of different cities from high towers becomes repetitive after a while.So I would rate this cruise much higher than the views from the highest point on Sears towers!
I booked my flight to Germany and got a 4-hour layover in Paris on the way back to Boston. Whether to go to the Eiffel Tower or not was not a conundrum for me. When you have the visa and time, how can you and not go to see one of the wonders of world! The question ‘to be or not to be’ arose when I realized after getting off of the plane that I forgot my diary in the back packet of the seat in front of me.
