Wondrous

 Life is full of wonders. So i believe most firmly. There are very many grand, gorgeous aspects to life around us. In fact, so many are there that at times you feel as if just one life would not be enough to experience and admire them all. 

Just an hour ago, I watched this video of a train. I came across it quite accidentally, while browsing through news online. The viral video, so the newspaper portal reports, is seen already by millions.

 The video shows a train. It is indeed a beautiful view when a train appears curve shaped while changing tracks, i suppose. What makes this video special is that the train is up a hugely high bridge. Below is a truly deep ravine, and the train is merrily crossing it. Wonderful indeed!

Have you read about the railway tunnel that joins the two shores of the British Channel? It is below the sea bed! An entire sea, imagine the water pressure, is up above the tunnel that regularly is open to railway traffic. 

Superb must be the engineering and technological acumen in building such  wonders! Well, at least now are available engineering tools that have  such absolute finess and precision. How about the ancient forts and sculptures? How exquisitely carved out of sheer solid rocks! Just remember the Raigad and the Ellora caves! What wonders indeed when the gadgetry available now was not even thought of!

Indeed life is full of such unique creativity that shows the best of human head, mind and soul. Life is truly a wonder!
