This is the 13th floor where one of my friend (Manoj ) stayed... we used to meet up very often and cook and eat our food together...
Holland has a lot of people from Suryanam ( it was a dutch colony in South America and has a large population of migrated Indians ( Biharis ). Holi is celebrated very nicely by the Suryanamese there. The pic below is with Mandar Apte, he is the guy who got me back into art of living !
Den Haag ( The Hague ) is a city about 10 -15 mins ( by train ) from Delft. It has a beautiful beach and there are trampolines at the beach side... Summers over there were simply awesome ! And by the way how do u find my long hair 60's look ;)...
Holland is a beautiful place with loads of rainfall round the year... Some really strong winds at times !
With its capital as Amsterdam, Holland is really famous for a lot of things... like the Tulip Garden ( now what were u thinking ;) )...
Holland is also famous for many other things also like art, museums, windmills, dykes, bicycles, cheese... and ofcourse drugs and prostitution !
My entire stay at Europe, was superb! Had an amazing scholarship, was studying at one of the topmost universities in the world in a world renowned lab, had a car of my own, had a German girlfriend, had a nice set friends, very often traveled around the country and the continent.

Although seemingly it was all superb, I felt some kind of emptiness deep inside... some kind of vacuum... Nothing could really fill that vacuum... No amount of going to the beach, partying, sports, gym, lab work, studies, spending time with friends/girlfriend, TV, talking on the phone or anything could really do anything to fill that... All it could do was... give me some consolation for some time and then I'm back with the same emptiness ! I had everything yet nothing ! Life had become juice-less !! Until............ will continue some other time....

i think i can really relate to what u have written here. i feel a similar kind of emptiness in my life but i feel trapped in it and just cant get out!! AOL seems to fill in that emptiness and i feel attracted to AOL so badly that i feel like leaving everything around me and be there, but that becomes so unrealistic, feel like i m loosing my normal life!! well may be i ll get some of my ans in ur next post!
P.S: u look horrible in long hair... sorry for the comment :P
