Visit Twin Peaks & Ocean Beach

On 02 Aug (Sat) we went to Twin Peaks in San Francisco .Another vantage point from where we could see the entire San Francisco city - a very beautiful view indeed .We could see the city virtually 360 degrees . It is very difficult to capture the actual scene either in words or on camera - it was so beautiful .And there were so many tourists literally swarming all over the place - a lot of Chinese , especially.There was bright sunshine and the weather had brought all the San Farnciscans out . A soft breeze which was pleasant ,made the sojourn even more enjoyable.

The view which we had of the city was simply great. Although the city does not have much skyscrapers as it is in an an earthquake prone area , still the buildings were beautiful. We could also see the Market Street winding its way to the Embarcadero. In the distance we could also see Sai's office building .The city looked so well planned and neat from the top. Hats off to the Forefathers of this city wo had planned this city so well . Of course those who followed have also been no less as they have managed to keep up the beauty of the city and its never fading charm .

If we could see the city in all its glory from one side of the Twin Peaks the other side from where we could see the Ocean was no less. That sight was also enchanting and we really enjoyed it very much .Many of the locals had brought some snacks and the inevitable Beer (!) with them and were enjoying themselves. Some school cildren were also there and they had come together in a school bus as a group. If you want to know as to how to enjoy Life ask the Americans .They will tell you how !They are really a "Bindass" (devil may care attitude) lot !

The Twin Peaks is also the highest point in San Francisco and therefore has the city's tallest Telecom tower. This is the same Tele com Tower which you can view from the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge.The construction of the Tower is also artistic and not the standard dull drab Pylon type of structure .In spite of so many visitors the place was absolutely spick and span. It is indeed a delight to walk in such areas which abound not only in scenic beauty but also have clean surroundings that enhances the beauty of the area.From the Twin Peaks we drove down to the Ocean Beach another clean and enchanting Beach - what a contrast to Mumbai's Chowpatty!

The Ocean Beach is another very beautiful place indeed where you come face to face with Nature - God in all His majestic beauty and Glorious Mystery !Once you are attuned to the Divine ,once you are in the "Constant -Integrated -Awareness" state then savour every moment of your Life.Enjoy every moment .Rejoice as all expected and unexpected events and moments unfold in front of you.Become a witness. Like you enjoy a movie, with its share of triumphs and tragedies ,joys and sorrows, simultaneoulsy enjoy the movie of your Life.Just as you identify yourself with the characters in a movie as long as the movie lasts,and forget them later, similarly identify yourself with the characters in your life for the duration for which you are associated with them and then forget them.Treat your life as a story in a movie with the same attachment and detachment which you exhibhit during the course of the movie.
