One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
With the big bad internet there is hardly anything that leaves me awestruck anymore. But, when I find the most insignificant and mildly interesting things that capture my attention in an intimately personal way, I really feel awestruck. On the day Christmas, I was standing at the City center in Leipzig with a lonely and desolate look over the city and I couldn't stop feeling being in my small home town in India during the beginning of summer vacation as a kid. The two places couldn't be any more different, with the temperature difference alone being about 40C.
