Date: 14 May, 2010
Time: 12 midnight (Paris)

3 souls are hypnotized with what they are witnessing in front of them! One of the 7 wonders of the world is glittering with stunning lights over and over again, for the next 10 minutes!! For me, the already special day (my Mom’s birthday) became a day I will always remember forever!! Eiffel tower at 12 midnight in all its lightning beauty touched me inside the heart to the core. Yes, this is Paris!

The Paris trip started in almost the Barca way for us, travelling around a lot to find the right apartment and made even more exciting because of THE GAME we played (JD will agree the most I am sure :P). And then the Paris experience went from being good to better to best to near-perfect!!!

The monumental Arc di Triomphe with six diverging roads leading to all the architectural master-pieces such as Eiffel tower, Pantheon, Concorde, Notre Dam, Sacre Coure etc. The ‘Monalisa’ painting of the Louvre Museum attracted one and all, besides the other magnificent paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci and Michael Angelo.
La Defense malls and the shopping we finally did at Zara and other biggie stores! Moulin Rogue in all its sensual colours (Red and more ;)). Lets keep some secrets here!

And then there was DISNEYLAND!!! To me, the defining moment of the whole Euro trip. One full day spent in this magic-world, the world that amazed us, enthralled us and glued us to our TV screens (in the form of Aladdin, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and so on…..), was now right in front of us and yes we could feel the magic!! Another experience, which one really has to experience to thoroughly enjoy the super-exciting world!!As it turned out, this was one place, where me and JD completely beat Kamra in enthusiasm levels: day-in & night-out!! :)

Amidst all the fun we had, there was one question which boggled me wherever I went!! Counter this: Temperature less than 5 degree Celsius, windy atmosphere and mild drizziling too: How can not only the teenagers (read 15-25 year olds), but also adults (read 50+ junta), both male and female roam around in shorts and skirts everywhere?? When we three can’t get enough warmth in our inners and full sleeves shirts and sweaters and jackets and gloves and caps?? Everyone said: “Adaptability”! Well I don’t agree with this guys: For I still melt the same and my sweat-o-meter hits Richter scale even after spending 1 year in Mumbai, and I still wear all that woolen stuff in Dehradun in January for the last 10 years!!! Food for thought guys??

Huh.. but I wont like to end on a question nary note!!

Awesome Mausam, Beautiful people, Clean surroundings, Majestic architecture, Automatic gadgets: All in All a lifetime experience!!

Europe: I will be back :)

J'aime Paris!!!
