A lit-up Brandenburg Gate !
Berlin - 2009 Berlin - once the opulent capital of Prussia and later the nerve-centre of the Hitler's 'Third Reich' ! Completely laid to waste by World War 2, the city rose up from its ashes, only to be torn apart by the Berlin wall ...and the Soviet-American Cold War ! With the fall of the wall in 1989 and the re-unification of Germany, Berlin regained its spot on the map as one of Europe's leading cultural and economic centres ! Adarsh, Krishna, Shiva and I head-off to spend a weekend in this iconic city [16th Jan to 18th Jan, 2009 ]
