What I like about Edinburgh!

So its been two weeks in Edinburgh. Not a long time but still enough for me to experience a little bit of the life and culture of Scotland. What I like about life in Edinburgh is not the beautiful architecture or the picturesque scenery. Of course they are lovely, needless to say, but after sometime you just get used to all the beauty around you. And not to forget beauty also includes the good looking people around you!

What I like about living in Edinburgh is that I get to meet people of different nationalities. Get to know about their culture, their country, their families, and them as individuals. It is the exchange of knowledge and ideas that makes moments interesting here. We discuss topics like religion, politic, economy, etc. The questions are endless and the answers are diverse. Discussions last anywhere from five mins to a few hours, but the knowledge gained is immense. The answers may not be spot on but it is does give me a decently good idea about the things I am asking them. And to think of it, searching these topics on the internet would have taken hours and hours of my time!

Same is the case when they ask me some questions. It is interesting to know what kind of image people have of India and Indians. Sometimes there are some question about which even I have never thought of! "Why is the cow considered holy?" I had never even thought of this. It was just imbibed in me and I just accepted it without questioning it. I found the question very interesting so I made a point to google it. And it was then then I came to know why cow is considered holy. So it is not that you just get to know about their culture but also get to know things about your own.

But one thing that is true for each one of us no matter from which country we are from, what religion we follow,or  what our family backgrounds are is that we all enjoy a good laugh, treasure a true friend, are concerned about our futures, and just want to be happy and content with life!
