Rainy Amsterdam

Amsterdam is often referred to as one of the most colorful cities in the world. And rightly so where else do you find so many places of interest, famous museums, cozy pubs and flower markets.
Amsterdam is an unusual city in that it has all the advantages of a big city – culture, history, food, entertainment, good transport – with relatively few of the disadvantages: it is physically small, beautiful, relatively quiet, and largely thanks to the canals, has relatively little traffic.

I reached Amsterdam last week. Netherland is part of Schengen countries so it is possible to visit most of the Europe now.

Went to Belgium this weekend, the home town of Tintin. Here are some of the pics of my trip to Belgium this weekend.

It's spring

It's spring time in Switzerland. Flowers everywhere, some rain and more sun... that's how I describe it.

It's good to watch people playing chess in the nearby park, bed of roses, evening fog and smell of flowers in air.

It seems as if city woke up just now. I see more people on streets.

I feel happy. The experience is like few lines I read somewhere:

Dhul gayi hai ruh lekin dil ko yeh ehsaas hai
Yeh saadgi chand lamhon ko hi mere saath hai
Phaaslon ke gard mein yeh saadgi kho jaayegi
Sheher jaake zindagi phir sheher ki ho jaayegi

Here are some of my pics I took with my Nokia 6600 and digital cam in Switzerland. Will keep on updating this album with more pictures.
