The Beethoven statue in Bonn with the Post office as the Background. This is the main platz or Plaza in Bonn




The Cologne Dome Steps: Has to be one of the most liveliest places on the Planet. Thousands of people come here every day. One can find crowds here at ANY (and I mean ANY) time of the Day.

The Town Hall of Dusseldorf. It was partially covered with Moss and Vines in the period of disuse in the medieval times. But that hasn't been cleared now and infact has been modified to look kool.



The BMW head office (the tall building) and the BMW museum (The Bowl Shaped one).



Only a Tower remains of this earlier magnificent Church which was the Symbol of Hamburg before the Allied Air raids during WWII.



The Brandenburg Gate: The Grand symbol of Germany and Berlin. This gate leads to "Unten den Linten" which is a road with Lemon trees on both sides. "Unten den Linten" literally means under the Lime trees.



The Baltic Coast on Rugen Island which the Biggest Island in Germany: This photo reminds me Kaho Na Pyar Hai.




A typical Postcard from Switzerland hosts similar photographs. But watching this view sitting on a Boat in the middle of Lake Brienz is a completely different experience altogether.
(P.S. Notice the waves formed by the Boat. The lake is completely still otherwise)



The Famous Coffee shops of Amsterdam. Marijuana is legal here and these coffee shops sell them. Notice the pic carefully.



The Louvre: This is the Famous Louvre Museum of Paris and its famous Glass Prism.



The leaning tower of PISA. No descriptions needed.




St. Angelo's Castle in Rome.




Florence: the Birthplace of Italian Renaissance and an important center of Medieval italian finance.

The swine and BBVPI

Mumbai 21st August 2009: There has been an uproar in the BBVPI (Board of Bacteria, Viruses and Pathogens of India) with regards to Swine Flu Virus or more commonly known as H1N1. Mr. Plasmodium said in an exclusive interview that the other Viruses were enraged at the undue attention recieved by H1N1. Mr. Influenza said, "The committee is planning to sue AAJTAK and Times Of India for creating so much hype for H1N1. Due to this people go everywhere wearing masks. This has made it difficult for us to earn a decent livilihood nowadays." The committee is very angry at H1N1 family too. "They have invaded our jobs and are killing our hosts", said Mr. Vibrio cholerae. Mr Plasmodium "Attention seeker" Falciparum said in another statement, " How many more do I have to kill before I get in the papers." The committee has decided to undertake a non-coooperation with H1N1. " First Bird Flu and now Swine Flu. Why cant they keep to their own hosts?",said Mr.HIV. But the induction of HIV into the committee is very controversial as it was earlier a chimpanzee host. Rumors are around that HIV threatened to murder all viruses, bacteria and parasites in th hosts infected by it unless it was inducted in the committee. When asked, Mr. Influenza said ,"That is not the matter at hand now. We first need to take care of H1N1 now." Mr. HIV has agreed not to attack the immune system of Swine flu infected people. "We want to weed out H1N1 just like H5N1 before it gets out of hand.", said Mr.HIV.

Lets see what happens next. The next few months will be crucial.
