Here is the Ariel view captured by my camera from the moving plane…

I’m
back at Patiala after four months of stay in the U.S. It was a very rewarding
experience in terms of hitherto unexplored treasure trove of unbounded natural
beauty and many more eye-opening experiences. I had been to the U.S. many times
before, and I visited capital city Washington DC and most of its tourist attractions.
Most memorable had been the visits to Disneyland and Hollywood Studios in Los Angeles.
However, unluckily I was not a blogger then and experiences remained unrecorded
and faded from memory in due course of time.

Now
for the last couple of years I’m a part of the blogosphere and my perceptions
and insights are deeply sensitized and propel me to decide what to chronicle. I
only need a trigger point, that is.

We
had chosen Swiss international as our air carrier this time. We boarded the plane
from Chicago for Zurich and boarded another flight from the same company from Zurich
to Delhi. As the plane started to take off from Zurich, I chanced to look out of the
window. Oh what an eerie display of the mystery of the skyline it was! I
immediately pried out my camera from the bulging pockets of my purse, got glued
to the window for capturing the rare scenes above the clouds. As the plane was
slowly gaining height, I took pictures of the breathtaking scenes below. It
brought into focus the charismatic paradigm of the view below. The boundless expanse
embellished with pneumatic looking surface created by the moving clouds made my
jaw drop in sheer amazement. Actually, these are the miracles, which go
unnoticed. The sight was so awe inspiring and humbling. One bows in awe at the magnificence,
which looked surreal and real at the same time.

Switzerland
is a beautiful country with gigantic mountains-Alps in South and Jura in North West-
dotting its skyline. Zurich and Geneva are its global cities. It is a peace
loving and safe country. It has a perfect banking system. (Remember all the
money stashed in its banks from all over the world.)
