23 feb 2009 , lodz , poland
I am thoroughly enjoying my stay in The Grand Hotel in Lodz.
My meeting was at 10 am and I was back in the hotel by 12 Noon.
But looking at the snow outside and the drizzle i decided that staying Indoors was indeed
the best option.
Let me tell you some thing more about this hotel.
The Grand Hotel is about 120 Years old .Built in 1888 its interiors and architecture
is very old.Most of the hotel is quite desolate and its actually quite creepy if you are alone.
The passegways to the rooms are very long and with very dull light chandeliers.
You would acrually think twice about staying hear alone .
But alas I had no options .Even my room had a 3 bulb chandelier.
Now two bulbs were ok but the third one wac constanty flickering.
I noticed it quite late.Initially I saw some thing moving on the wall.
First it were some shadows as the light changed and would incite some images.
Soon I was flooded with all the previous experiences and very soon
I was convinced there was something in the room .
Who knows if this place was a prison during the world war , or maybe a place for execution , or a large cemetery .Poland as it is has a lot of history of bloodshed during the second world war.Since I have been travelling alone since a while now staying
All by my self is ok with me.I thought it would be a good time to see a horror movie.
So I saw “1920 “ and by the time it was over .I was chanting hanuman chalisa.
By the end of it!
In the evening I decided to go and grab some dinner and beer for myself.
So I packed up from head to toe . boy it took me atleast 10 minutes.
I had a set of thermals then my sweaters, mufflers,gloves,cap and umbrella for the
Snow.It took me a while to find a takeaway but I did stumble across a Turkish sandwich shop .Its sandwich turned out to be surprisingly delicious.
I also located a beer shop finally.But the lady at the counter couldn’t understand
A world of English.Fortunately another shopper standing next to me knew English
And translated for me and recommended a strong polish beer.
So I was off with all the stuff ready to party in the room all alone in grand hotel !!
I had to leave for Krakow the next morning by train.

alas
i was sad ......" you never live to your committments " said she
but i knew it was not true ......alas all i knew ....was that the truth was so far from me.....
and yet i loved her too.....
" you are unreliable" said she
yes darling ......after all i am human too....
but yet i love you......
" i hope we never meet again" said she
i hoped the same dear....
but only out of fear...
as i couldnt face you again and hide my love from you
" we could have been together" said she
i hoped that my destiny was that too
but i guess everything is written.....and i couldnt do a thing " it could have been happily ever after"
it could have been so many things dear....
but the things are ...the way they are....
if only we had the courage to change them for the better
