Irish National History Museum

This museum is close to the pheonix park. It was huge millitary barrack. very Minute one steps into the campus you get the earry feeling of a millitary presence. The museum displays a very rich Irish history. All the battles they have been to. For a long time they have been at that;700 years. it shows various artifacts about WW1 and WW2. The 1919 Irish freedom struggle. I spent two hours in there and i got a good idea of how unique identity the Irish have got for themself. Irish immigrants who were part of armies of other countries like french and English had a special category called the Irish Regiments, thats how unique they were. Enjoyed going to the place and look forward to find more such palces. The bridge you see in the picture is the one I took to get to the Museum and its been holding up since 1858!!. The first two pictures you see are of the struggle from starvation and injustice. Reminds me of the Schindlers list. But its a marvelous peice of art.It talks to you if you stare at it, look longer at it and you would feel injustice at the back of your neck trying to choke you.

Snow in Dublin

I consider that i am lucky to be in a place which got some decent snow after ten long years. I think i should have made most of it now. But the cold really gets me, and when i say gets to me, i mean really bad. But it was beautiful to watch show fall from the warm comformts behing a glass wall filled with heated air!.

Now after a few months, in march this is how the same location looks. All the flowers and the little blue bells with the green background is fantastic!!

Trinity College

Land mark place in Dublin. Its right at the heart of the city and atleast a century old. I did not get to see much of it on sunday as things were all closed. It seems the worlds oldest harp is in the library here. The campus is fantastic and the berkely library has limited its access to students only.
