peaceful thots

1. Lately I attended this technical course. It was like any other usual training. But I'm not going to talk about the training. It's about the venue where I attended it. It was unusual, but in some odd way inspiring.

2. All the hotels i've been through nationwide are basically, dull and the same. From there you would able to grasp, and interpret their management style. I've been staying couple of hotels and this one is definitely different. Their management is unique. Then again, I'm not going to talk about hotel management. You have management books all over the world to describe in detail.

3. All these while, people, or what the business world termed it, customers would rate ambiance and location as their primary rating. In this hotel, it's different. My view is not facing the city center, or boring building, or fucked up traffic.

4. No, my view it's actually facing a graveyard. A Muslim graveyard.

5. Initially, it was scary at first. Face it, in front of you, you have several slides you have to go through and just next to it it's a fucking graveyard. I mean, what was on the architect's god damn mind when they were designing a view. Plus, this is a ballroom. You don't exactly score many rating points when you have a ballroom facing the graveyard.

6. But somehow or rather, eventually in time, I began to accept the view. It was not bad at all, but it was peaceful. The dead looks so calm, so quiet, covered with large trees. There was no chaos. What was initially scary now looks very peaceful. I managed to have the opportunity to observe a death burial takes place. Imagine, that was the only time you are a bit closer to god. Watching the body buried somehow put me in humility that we are just an organic matter. Seems that what only matters are the things you have done for the living.

7. It is interesting to note that the hotel acquired the 5 star rating and it has won the best architectural design.

8. So, if it's peace you're looking for, a visit to the grave could be a potential candidate, if not so at least. It's fucking scary, but, stay there long enough, the dead silence is very convincing. I would definitely come to the same place later, hoping for the same view.

Figure : I'm not bullshiting
