Hero

My first trip to Germany was all about travelling...

I stayed in Leverkusen for three months and visited all the neighbouring countries in this short period. One of the weekends, we went to Bonn. Bonn is a very nice typical European City. I can still remember the long walk; we had by the Rhine river side. The most remembered part of the trip was our visit to the Birth place and memorial of Beethoven. Even after ten years, I clearly remember how excited I was. Why was I excited? The only thing, I knew about Beethoven was that he was a great musician and he composed many great symphonies. Even today, I don't know much about symphonies. I had never listened to one before that. Beethoven or symphonies in general never excited me. Still I was elated to be there.

I find this very interesting. Why did I get excited to be there? I think, that is one of the basic instincts of Human Beings. Human Beings are obsessed with fame. The famous people are heroes even when they are no way related or influencing to you.
