India in 27 days

"India will sideswipe you with its size, clamour and diversity - but if you enjoy delving into convoluted cosmologies and thrive on sensual overload, then it is one of the most intricate and rewarding dramas unfolding on earth, and you'll quickly develop an abiding passion for it.

Nothing in the country is ever quite predictable; the only thing to expect is the unexpected, which comes in many forms and will always want to sit next to you. India is a litmus test for many travellers - some are only too happy to leave, while others stay for a lifetime.

The country's glorious diversity means there's an astonishing array of sacred sites, from immaculately kept Jain temples to weathered Buddhist stupas; there's history around every corner, with countless monuments, battle-scarred forts, abandoned cities and ancient ruins all having tales to tell; and there are beaches to satiate the most avid sun worshipper. On a personal level, however, India is going to be exactly what you make of it."

Soon leaving...

Yep...life is moving on and me as well.
Just three more working days and i will say bye to my desk in 11th floor with the view on whole Prague, leave our gilrs team(cant mention men cause they are somehow girly in such team..hahaha), leaving the view on planes heading to not known countries(office is close to airport), leaving the great coffee machine....hmmm....seems i quite got used to my office.

Starting preparing myself for my travels...which i still cant belive that it will really come true.
As for now the plan is to land in Dehli on 24th June and come back on 15th September...always wanted to have some kind of international experience, but it seems that unfortunatelly this will be a bit of tourist exprience, i wish i can stay longer there.

Plan is to visit Dehli, Jaipur, Mumbai, Goa, Hyderabad,Agra, Chennai and Kerala, but maybe i will have to change all plans, cause i am not sure if i make it.
Tonight i will hopefully buy some travel guide, next week last vactinations, and starting arranging vizas and the most important paying the ticket..uff..lots of money:(

Having almost no expectations, mum calling each day trying to convince me that being in Vendryne is much more exciting then India, trying to pack to one bag, having nightmares....hahahaha....seems i am really closer and closer to THE day:)

Anyone has some travel tips?

few years back all people who were part of "Gimnasci" promised that on 100 years annoversary they will make a figure where will be everyone who was part of this group....over 140 people from my village experienced beeing part of it...some of them already unfortunatelly are not on this world..but each person in our village is proud on them that they created a group where whole village was meeting, where marriages were created, where children were grown up by jumping from 4 metres...
THANK YOU!
I am really really proud of my dad, cause he was the one thanks to whom teh group survived cause he took over leading of this group when he was 19, when noone belived the group can last!And now they will celebrate 100 years!!!

And this is my dad' s favourite figure, he was the only one who managed to do this at his times..till not just one men reached his amazing power of holding three people on widened hands! The picture is not final figure, cause the person in the middle in a while would stand on those two guy' s shulders, so it is much higher.

There is one very famous sport group at my village which will celebrate this weekend 100 anniversary. This is very unique group, because it is the only amateur sport group of this kind.
And I can be proud that my dad was leader of that group for almost 20 years. You can see him standing as third from right...hehhe...how proud he is:]

Today Mariana is already married and i wanna post this picture we took on Thanksgiving dinner at Andel, it was during time when her Aldo was visiting Prague.

Dear Mariana, I wish you both neverending Love and Smile.

I wish i can be with you on this day in Mexico!

Aldo, take care of her!!!

Heard in radio in the morning...singing all day in my mind

Is it getting better

Or do you feel the same

Will it make it easier on you, now

You got someone to blame

You say, one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
It leaves you baby if you don't care for it
****
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
