B eing a cyclist, I had a dream to visit a Deutschland. During the cycling tour here in India, we all co-cyclist use to talk about the cycling nation and the infrastructure available there by means through the internet world. It was fascinating all the way round. This is how I started thinking and believing the dream to visit there. To present my anecdote here, Murphy’s law of attraction worked for me. Whatever I manifested, thought about, was close to feel in near future. The time was Jan 2020. Got planned for one of the official work at Rijswijk office in Netherlands (Holland) and travelled to the destination as per plan.
