looking up... seeing in...


What i missed the most from studying in Orlando, FL, is laying on the top of my car and just gazing up at the night sky.

It would always fill me with serenity. I would feel at peace.


It is very weird... its a very strange contradicting feeling... You feel how small you are compared to this vast universe, at the same time, ironically you feel that you're one with it... You're part of it... IT'S part of you!


I love technology, i love lights, and i am thankful that our streets are filled with lamp posts and are lighting our nights... but i cannot help but miss... and yearn for some darkness to be able to appreciate the stars that shine every night without fail... but we are so blinded to them.

No wonder now a days everyone is so self absorbed... thinking the world revolves around them... because they HAVEN'T seen what the world looks like.. the endless, boundless stars out there...


Copernicus, and Galileo (who died for this claim) shattered the ego centric view of mankind that the earth is the center of the universe.

Darwin shattered the ego of man kind that everything was created in a matter of days for us.

And nothing bares a clearer testament to those geniuses than a starry night... With its infinite depth and beauty...

I seriously miss that... and i wish one day i'd retire to a quiet little place where i can delight at gazing into the sky every night. I miss looking up... and seeing in...


A dream of mine is to witness these Aurora's (or northern lights) some day... It is truly a humbling experience i think.
