The Nile experience!

Nile!!Flowing effortlessly! With thousands of years of secrets beneath its surface.....
  It was a friday night. We were a group of friends and family. A big spacious boat was hired. And the magic had begun!
It was breezing pleasantly.  All around us were calm waters of NILE! The beautiful lights from cruises shimmered on the waters. The soft beats of arabic music danced on the waters. A picture perfect scene out of  a fairy tale book! It was Oh-so - beautiful!!! The cairo tower could be seen in the background. The moon was shining brightly. The night was cold, the atmosphere was perfect. Perfect for a perfect date with a perfect someone!!
It was one of those nights when the heart just skips a beat for no apparent reason. When one wants to be a poet , a writer, an artist and a photgrapher, everything at once, to capture the beauty of the moment. It was one of those mysterious nights when an unknown longing, a dull ache, a sudden surge of emotions fills the heart.



AH! the enchanting Nile! Those mesmerizing waters! An experience etched in the memory forever....
