With or Without you

Reminds you of the song doesnt it, yesterday Gokce sent me the photo album link to his trip to Sigtuna ( the oldest town in Stockholm) last weekend, with Hanna, Nisarg, Cagri and our new elux trainee whom I havent met Lana from Brazil. I organised a trip to Sigtuna last year around this time too with the rest of the trainees, out of which Gokce and Hanna are the repeat tourists now i guess. :)

Looking through the photos, its funny and both nostalgic to see them going to the same EXACT places, doing the same EXACT things, like Gokce climbing on that damn tree again ( though all the girls were yelling at him to come down else he break his neck), Hanna with the car, going to the same outdoor quaint cafe with the funny old lady statue, someone posing next to the little boy statue. ( Ok Sigtuna is a very small town too, maybe thats why) Fond memories indeed. Makes me think of this chinese proverb (hope i do justic to this translation) " Tao Hua Yi Zai, Ren Mu Yi Fei" translated to "The peach blossoms are still around as remembered, but the faces of pple are no longer the same", meaning the scenery and landscape are the the same, but pple you knew in the past have left.

Anyways received happy news that friends from stlm are coming! Ana from Venezuela will be visiting me end June, Rajat too within these few mths if he can get a new passport in time. Yipee!!!!!
