Am back...

I am back again!! Back to blogging, back to San Jose, back to same old routine :) Did you ever feel very excited to get a change from the routine but when you actually are out there, you miss home? I did, and my story below will tell you why :)

Not very long ago it all began in a 'lighthouse', 10-12 of us brainstorming/white boarding while more cans of Talking Rain popped open. We were on a mission - goal to revolutionalize our products. Well, the actual product details are hardly the point of this discussion, but just to give you a gist of one of the decisions made that day, I ended up on a flight to Europe, thus began my journey!

My first stop over was at Berlin, Germany. This city welcomes you with its warm and friendly people, touches you with its history, amazes you with its buildings, saddens you with its real stories, teases you with its night life, satisfies you with its tasty food and in short this is a city that surely wins your heart!! It won mine :) Here are my highlights:
1. Berliners are sooper friendly!!
2. Driving on Auto Bahn is crazzyyyyyyy!! Also, loved the walks from Karl-Lieb(Karl-Liebknecht-Str) onto Unter den Linden onto Kaiser Damm
3. Floating Beer - can you ask more?
4. Fashion lives on Ku' Damm!!
5. Alexander Platz/ Potsdamer Platz - name it, every piece of Berlin is filled with history, real stories...

Danke Shun Berlin, for making my trip memorable for a life time!!!
