It's a pity I can't be there in my hometown to watch the solar eclipse. Chengdu is one of the best spots to watch, although I think watching it in somewhere in India where the whole process begins will be yet another unforgettabe experience much more intense than watching it anywhere else. It was said that the sun rises out of the horizon as a huge black ball, seabirds will not sqwak as they are confused whether it is daylight already. At this point I wish I were a mere fishermen in India, money and what not are nothing compared to this experience of a lifetime. I can't claim that I have seen the solar eclipse coz I watched the process on tv, I feel exceptionally dumb when I was so excited and snapping pictures of my tv screen. Sadly despite all good things about iPhone, I can't seem to upload pictures straightaway, not that the pictures are a big deal coz they were snapped off my hugeass tv. Then again, I must thank modern technology for the live telecast of the entire process, the diamond ring is astonishingly beautiful!! I am glad I caught a glimpse of it even though it was from the tv.
It was said solar eclipse can affect people's lives in a psychological way (not sure whether this is the right way to put it), many who have seen it spend much of their fortune and time to catch just another glimpse, to enjoy the tranquility once more. Well, I would definetly do that if I have the time and money. Imagine being proposed to under the "diamond ring", ultimate romanticism! Then again I bet the guy will be too busy watching the eclipse to care about getting down on one knee.
The sun symbolizes perfectness.
I heard that from the tv.
