die Berliner

Landed a while back but blogging just now ! Well everytime i thought about blogging i thought to myself quite often..where should i start? Berlin is sure virgin to me :P but there's sooooo much one could say about this place just in two weeks. Firstly there's something insane about mood swings here. you know once you have them that you have definitely arrived here. And its always in sync with the weather. Its interesting how back in India i manage to never let the weather really get to my nerves .Surprising but yup. the first one week here i walked around the streets and i didn't really not feel at home but what was different was 'how much we walk here'. Back home i would never dream of walking 7 kms everyday but that's where i see the difference-The weather.You would never regret it here cause its just the right way to do it!But then there have been times when i would wake up and say-'where's the sun?' and then you just sink in back and walk around grumpy!Its okay here cause everyone you would meet would be that way too-well common 6 months of winter is immensely depressing. I wonder if it would be right for me to say in this context-India is overwhelmingly hot!

You know weather apart you would meet some really warm people here, no matter the weather-but only if your lucky. And yes i am!What's beautiful about sharing an apartment-flying half way across the world and staying with strangers-Wunderbar! At the end of the day you realise it doesn't make any difference really-its just the right people you need to meet-who cares then european or indian (or half Indian ..hehe). Then you have those beautiful days where you can just relax and sip on some wine-smoke a few and learn how to too :P and talk about nothing at all.You know its weird cause one minute you feel like 'wait a minute i'm in a strange land ' and then when your home sitting with friends you realise this could be just anywhere in the world and it wouldn't make a difference. There are somethings you enjoy so much more in good company and for me i realised i may kill myself sooner but i love the time i spend with my friend here laying in the balcony and smoking and talking about- 'smoking can kill us, we must cut down' and then you have another wise friend who would come around to make you feel better and say to you 'hey it's better that you burn away, than fade away'..haha.

ich möchte Deutsch lernen
aber das ist so schwer
ich versuche und versuche
aber das ist so schwer
man kann nicht 'deny'
ich liebe berlin und ja
Deutschland.
