“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”Anita Desai

Welcome to Hell-sinki!

Welcome to up North
Where the polar bears roam…

No wait! Wrong intro! Let’s try again…

Welcome, to the city that never sleeps
Well, actually, we like to go to bed really early….

Ok, one more time:

Welcome to Helsinki!
A quaint little town up North
I am sure you will enjoy!

That’s it?
Yes, what’s wrong?
Nothing, sounds a little dull…
Well, let’s let the travellers decide!

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu

When in Verbania

When in Rome
Do as the Romans do
When in Verbania
Hoist the sails
Follow the trails
And shout out “Virata!”

Sunny side of Rhodes, Part One

Following the sun
Can be lots of fun
Blue skies, blue seas
As far as the eyes can see
Hike around the highlands
Spend your day shopping
On this little island
There simply is no stopping

“Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window” Steve Wozniak

Window View 

In the early morning hours
As I am jumping into my car
I look out the window
Only to find the moon
Brightening my path

IMG_20160129_082241

Arriving at the office
To an early morning meeting
I left without eating
So just coffee must do
As I listen to the others
Playing their part
In this life we know as office

IMG_20160129_090911

I let my eyes wander
Towards the closest window
Only to find
A most beautiful sunrise
Sky painted red
But here inside instead
The only view for me
Is through the peephole
Known as a window
But oh, what a view
