23rd July 2016. My second day in Paris, recovering from a severe bout of stomach infection and just having left Mumbai despite being hospitalized the evening before the flight, I was walking the streets taking in the city and I landed up at the Notre Dame Cathedral with no agenda and decided to step in. I landed up spending more time than anticipated just soaking in the sights and being in the moment forgetting a little of everything. Today, I wake up to see this very cathedral burning and it breaks my heart though I'm this far away because some memories just remain. I don't know if I ever shared these but there's a certain calm captured even in the pictures and maybe somewhere these might help ease another soul. I am certain the cathedral will be restored to a state even more beautiful than it was and it will continue to soothe souls that land up at it's doors like I did one evening. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cathedral #notredame #notredamedeparis #notredamecathedral #france #peace #love #tribute #solidarity #prayers #traveler #soul #thankyou (at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwS6ByGD6vo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4uq6tkatgp56
