Meiji Shrine : A hidden gem in Tokyo ( part 1)
Seen as clearing up,
While they may be gathering,
on a mountain peak,
clouds indeed,do resemble,
the world in which we dwell,
-Waka Poetry by Empress Shoken

The travel of the photon is most akin to the journey of life. A photon is minimalist with its zero mass. A photon is quick to exhibit the properties of a wave as well as a particle as needed. A photon is always at the move but at peace at the same time. This blog is a collection of the journey of a bunch of the photons ( Myself ) across the fabric of time and space.
