A really nice video from old London!!
Close to the end of the video, you can check the ancestors of the famous double decker bus... and any similarities with traffic in India are pure coincidence!! :)

Example & Inspiration
"Always be thankful, always consider it an honour that you CAN work harder than others, that you CAN do something to benefit others; and WHATEVER happens is to your best. And if we do that, the Buddhas will give us everything."

Happy Valentine's Day
Someone special shared this with me a few days ago and I believe that in the same way it made me aware of what I may be missing sometimes, it made me smile from beginning to end...
My favourite quote here is:
"Do not take life too seriously. You will not get out of it alive."
Enjoy! :)

Nordic effects in London - A future winter tourism destination?!
With the atmosphere heating up in Copenhagen world climate summit, the weather effects are felt a bit everywhere, and as one knows only what one sees through the senses, these effects may be beyond what we're actually aware of.
c) London snow
The Queen takes the train instead of all her other (carbon producing) alternatives (not being this the reason necessarily) and Prince Charles takes his (not so carbon efficient) private jet to attend the summit. At the same time, limousines are driven from as far as Germany and Sweden to serve the delegates...
As time is running out, one starts wondering what will be the postures of the world leaders present and if they're actually reach an agreement or leave before it.
London gets covered in snow and people try to work around it with more or less joy, but certainly with a white Christmas feel to it!
At the same time if we add this to other environmental changes happening over the last years - floods, fires, unusual high temperatures or a blending of the seasons of the year -, we can wonder when action is finally taken... when the biggest polluters actually pay their fee to help solve their own problem...
Well, without any activist riots coming from this side, let's just wait and see what comes next... but hands on to take action in any way possible, everyday life is certainly a good start to create the world we want to present the future with...

Treasure hunt vs. hunting the treasure...
We may search all our lives for something, and yet...
It may have been always within us,(deep or not) inside us, in front of our noses or mirrored in those we surround ourselves with.
This is the beginning of a special collection...
So why denied it, block it?
On the other hand, why make it into something unrealistic as soon as we become aware?
Talent, potential, greatness to DO and BE!
We all have it in essence. The reason why not all of it unfolds for everybody may lay on our individual background and experience, on Karma, on coincidences some even say...
It rains in London today and the sun shines elsewhere... However there is always a clear sky behind our clouds! :)

Objects of Memory
Objects fill our life.
One single object can bring the memory of a whole event, story, person or place.
Holding on to that object too much is a different story...
At the same time, we only see what our individual perspective, mentality or current emotional state allows us to see, most of the times...
And we let the imagination come in, adding a special touch to everything around.
Only very few times, very few moments, we see things as they really are. Like a beautiful clear sky with super fast clouds blocking the view.
Nevertheless, we all have our story and objects help to tell it more clearly :)
The two first months in London went very very fast...
