With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
Yes, the hills were alive with sound of music… I was skeptical when K said he will take me to
Everything changed suddenly once we landed in
Search high and low

ReplyDeletethe one time i went to geneva was years ago and i hated it because of the rat trap we stayed at. gotta go back to rectify those memories!
Sups,
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand your excitement. When I landed in Switzerland last month, all I could think was DDLJ!! The grand panorama express, the cable rides! I will go on and on, ofcourse swiss chocolates are to die for. Did u visit Interlaken?? That is a typical desi adda :). We stayed in Montreaux, and visited Lausanne, Geneva, Caux, Bern, Glion.

ReplyDelete....Sia. did I ever tell you that I admire the GREAT POET in you??
ReplyDelete@bharathy,
ReplyDeletei fell in love with Bern. such a beautiful city with old monuments and buildings. we took a leisure walk around the city and met two german grandmas's who couldn't talk a single word of english. they took us to show those two bears(pedro and tana) :) it was fun:)
qand my dear, i didn't compose that poem. its from the movie sound of music:)
