I remember, I remember

I remember, I remember,

The house where I was born,

The little window where the sun,

Came peeping in at morn.

Noise in Zurich? 

It is there but when I compare it to all the hustle bustle of the big, vibrant and well populated city of India where I spent most of my life - it is non-existent. 

I do enjoy it though. The scenic beauty and the peace and quiet of my residential neighbourhood is completely different - its a treat to just get out of the house sometimes and walk down the road. 

Often, the streets are deserted. The picture below was taken on a Wednesday afternoon and is a typical scene for other days of the week also.

The tree-lined road reminds me of my home town. The main road in front of the house was also lined with huge shady trees.  There was a lot of traffic on the road at all hours of the day or night. That is quite unlike this place, where most of the traffic is restricted to the peak office hours. It is easy to get used to this refreshing quietness.

I think its these minor details, similarities and differences both, which make life here a lot more easier to live. More minor details in future blogs. Till then, ciao.
