EINSTEIN HOUSE BERN

EINSTEIN HOUSE BERN

I know, I do not need to write about Sir Albert Einstein.

In the last fortnight I happened to be on the tour to Europe. 

Few more of my next posts will be about the same.

But the first I am writing about is the experience I had that touched my heart and mind.

Our tour manager narrated few interesting anecdotes of Sir Einstein, which are well known world over.

Einstein museum Bern 

The Einsteinhause (Einstein House) is a former residence of Sir Albert Einstein converted in to museum.  It is located in Bern, Switzerland.  Sir Einstein and his family occupied the second floor flat from 1903 to 1905.  

The very famous theory of Relativity as a contribution towards founding work of modern physics was written here.

During this period Sir Einstein worked at the Federal Institute of Intellectual Property.

Now, about the heart and mind touching experience.

There is a statue of Sir Albert Einstein sitting on a bench in the open compound.  Tourists are allowed to take selfies and photographs with the statue.

I humbly felt I was not qualified even to sit besides the statue of Sir Einstein.  I was feeling as if Sir Einstein himself was sitting in person on the bench.  How realistic the statue is ! But my better half prevailed upon me. The result is this photograph I am sharing with my readers.

EINSTEIN HOUSE BERN - STATUE OF EINSTEIN AND ME !

My feelings at the time of writing this post-

I feel I should give credit to my better half for this experience of taking my own photograph along with the statue of Sir Einstein. This is because, basically I am never inclined to be sort of crazy, expressing my liking towards famous  personalities and celebrities. And my better half knows this very well. But on this occasion she insisted on me to take my photograph along with the statue of Sir Einstein sitting on a bench in the garden. And thus, the photograph !

Now, remembering  my feelings at the time the photograph was being taken.

Although it was a statue of Sir Einstein, I felt as if I was sitting besides Sir Einstein, the greatest Scientist who introduced Modern Physics to the human being.

This made me feel very humble,very obliged, very much honored, being given great respect to me.

I think this is what we feel in the live company of the greatest towering personalities in the world.

This was really a unforgettable experience I had in my Europe Tour in the last fortnight.

Next time......
