Once in a Lifetime!

27.07.2018- A spectacle once in a lifetime for all of us today! A total Lunar eclipse!
The facts-
- the longest duration total lunar eclipse in 100 years
- a blood red moon spectacle
- Mars at it's closest to Earth in 15 years
Ofcourse, I wanted to see it and so did most of us!
A friend and me decided, that we go to ESO Supernova Planetarium. I was all excited and but was not sure what to expect from the great event. We went there before time , however, the plan did not quite work out well, so we decided to drive to Volksssternswarte. On the way, we thought it would be difficult to find a parking space, hence parked the car at home and took the bus.
My fault we took the bus in the wrong direction! We alighted the bus at the very next stop and called for a taxi. The taxi cancelled our ride, because he could not find us. So we decided to take the bus in the "right" direction!
We did reach Volkssternwarte. Finally I was going to witness the event that I have dreamt of ! It was getting closer with the moon partially red!
I could not believe my eyes, not because of the moon, but because of the massive queue to reach the terrace. It seemed quite obvious, that we would miss the opportunity. So the next logical decision was to call a taxi and go to the Deutsches Museum.
So we reached there and as expected, there was again a big queue to buy tickets!
So the decision was to stand on a bridge amongst 100s of other spectators and watch the beautiful moon.
I was happy that I could witness the great event. No regrets! Just a thought, I could have watched it better from my apartment on the 14th Floor!
I thought about this incidence, and could relate to so many decisions we make in life.
We all know what we want to achieve. We all know we can do it, but……..
- Should I take path A , B , C or just stay put
- The aim exists , no matter which path we choose
- We just need to make the best of what we already have at any given point of time
- Different paths will give us different experiences and this is what counts
- Proper planning is important to get better experiences of the same thing
- We already have it in us, just need to know that we can do it
- Then we have to explore the best ways to do it
- Trust, believe and smile!
