Mahatma Gandhi - Someone, please correct it.

the late  Mr. M.K.Gandhi, better called as Bapu, is known to everyone in India as a great freedom fighter and as a person who showed everyone the true strength of non-violence while fighting British for independence of India. He used to observe a day of silence every week, I think, on every Monday.

One day, a man came to visit him and handed him a handful of pages. He said,"Bapu, you are not worthy to be our leader. You have many faults. Your actions are biased. I don't know how people think of you as a leader. I have written all these pages so that I can show you your faults. Read them carefully and try to change yourself." Gandhi took the pages from him and flipped through them. After reading all the pages, he removed a pin from the corner of the pages that was holding them together and put it in a box. He then returned all the pages back to that person and told him,"Young man, from the things you gave me, I have kept the thing for me that I found the most useful. Thank you very much." The young man felt humiliated. Without uttering any further words, he went away.

So, my friends, sometimes we should neglect what people think or say about us or our actions. If we know from the bottom of our heart that our actions are pure, we should continue doing them without thinking of others. What do you think? Corrections and suggestions are welcome as always. Thank you very much for reading.

Never again

Last Summer I received a grant to assist a microbiology congress in Barcelona. When I arrived at the residence that the organization commitee had arranged for us I met a lot of young interesting people. Soon, we all got close and spent the days assisting conferences and the nights going to pubs and discos. Last day, four of us assisted at a gala dinner to celebrate the end of the congress. Going out that night wasn't in my plans because I knew I would have to leave at 5:30 am to go to the airport. But I couldn't disappoint my new friends the last night. We had a great time talking, dancing and drinking until we agreed to go back to the residence. It was already 5 am so I called for a taxi, caught my bag and gave my party partners a big hug. The way in the taxi wasn't nice because I was so tired, the air inside was too warm and the car driver, even though he was sympathetic, he was very talkative too and I only could think of sleeping. When we got the airport and I felt the fresh air outside the car, I felt alive again. I passed the luggage control and looked for a screen to see my flight gate. It still took twenty minutes to assign the gate number to my flight. It was in that moment when I made the terrible mistake. I was tired, so I sat on the floor with my back against the wall. I guess I was so comfortable because I fell asleep and didn't wake up until seven o'clock. When I opened my eyes I knew something bad was happening but It took around thirty seconds to realize that my flight was gone. I think a normal person would have got mad or angry or nervous, but I'm a very calm person and I was hungry, so I decided to go for a coffee and a chocolate muffin. Once the caffeine started to do its job, I went to an airport window to try to get a new free flight with the same company. There were two men and I chose the one with the bigger smile. I told him about my situation, I prefered to tell him the truth because I'm not a good liar and I thought that my story was as stupid as believable. And It was! He was half way to feeling sorry for me and half way to laughing in my face. He told me that when it was a passenger's fault, they weren't obligated to give them a new flight. However he asked me for my phone number and said that If the next flight to my city had an empty seat, he would call me. I stayed at the airport, I didn't have enough money to buy a new flight and I didn't want to ask anyone for it. Luckily, the man kept his promise and five hours later I was flying home.

Making appointmentsWe all make appointments sometimes . Sometimes we are looking forward to an appointment we arranged, sometimes it's not going how we would like. Anyway it is something that everybody has to face in life. The one thing I care about when I arrange an appointment is being on time. Usually I take seriously obligations to others, but occasionally somebody doesn't. It makes me sad. But I know most likely people aren't late intentionally. So to keep your mind calm, friendly relationships very important just to justify the one who was late.

Traveling around my Peru - CUZCO -

After a long time without writing something here, today I want to tell you about my trip to cusco two years ago.
If you don't know about Cusco I'd like to introduce to this beautiful city and maybe some day You will can visit it.

I'm from lima and I have to travel approx 1 hour by plane to arrive in Cusco more or less. I did this trip with three friends, It was our first time there and We were really excited.

When we arrived the first thing we did was drink mate de coca and go to the hotel later we went to the "Plaza de armas" and here we took pictures after we saw the Twelve Angle Stone.
The following two days we did a tourist route around Cusco city and we visited the Qorikancha temple, Saqsaywaman fortress, many beautiful churches, typical restaurants and bars, we had fun.

The latest three days, we went to Sacred Valley of the Incas a trip to Pisac, Maras, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo beautiful places with amazing landscapes and friendly people. In Ollantaytambo we took the train to Machu Picchu, the route is really awesome with mountains full of trees and a small river. 

We arrived to Aguas Calientes and bought our bus tickets to MaPi and 10 minutes later we arrived.
It is really a world wonder, stunning how the Incas were able to build a stone citadel in a hard able mountain. We spent half day walking around MaPi I have many pictures here and i have a picture with a llama. (I attach one of my photos)

We really had a good time in Cusco and I hope to return some day and do the Inca trek and climb the Huayna Picchu.


If you can come to Peru Do it! we have beautiful places which I will talk about in my future travel entries.
Please don't hesitate to correct me or give me any tips for improve my writing. Thanks for reading :)
