Our Sunset at Kanyakumari

Around one n half year back 10 guys from my ILM team went to TVM for the project transition and to end an era full of hardwork and struggle. We made a program to Kanyakumari from there and had a memorable time.

Traveling a long distance …At last we reach there,
An amazing place called Kanyakumari,
It’s a place which is beautiful and touching I swear
Where East meets the West in a very obvious way.

All the masti…..all the joy….

At last we are here, oh my boy,

This is the place we have been waiting since long,

Colourful, Soothing Kanyakumari Sunset where we wanted to sing this song!!!!

Sandy beach of different colors, huge stones which are very very hard,
It always reminds me of my favorite Milk Shake and Caramel Custard,
My thoughts swayed seeing what nature has in store,
Seeing the sunset what a bridal look it wore.

A long walk before we settle down
God!! If I do this daily, May be I just slim down.
Some reach the top of mini cliff here,
Some stood down to gaze them from there.

“Catch it” cried one throwing the ball in air,
Diving on the hard sand only we mad guys can dare,
“Is this angle good ?“ asks one of the chaps
We hear someone saying “Abbe Uncle!!! Quickly take my snaps”.

I always had a thought,
What is it special about sunsets, they are all the same,
But great that I was wrong, this one was the best,
Coz I had some Gems from ILM hall of fame.

A feel good factor

Now, well when everybody knows that I love sports, yesterday evening's was great. I was supposed to get yet another books from yet another library.
I found a library here in Lyndhurst,NJ. Was probably going to the library when one of my roommates asks me for a basketball game. uh uh uh I said.. Probably each 'uh' 'uh' shouted 'yes' 'yes' and finally in 30 mins I was there at the court.

Well we were just a little late and there was just one halogen bulb for the whole court. Less light was a problem but then we were able to see the ball and the basket and that enough.
The game went great. Struggled in the beginning coz of less light.
Anyways, had a great time. Did a few unbelievable baskets too.
Lost elegantly by 29-30 in the end and yet feeling refreshed.

The coming days will all be filled with basketball, tennis and probably badminton. I have found my buddies. Cheers !

Well!!! Doing something what one wants is definitely a "A feel good factor".

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Me ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This topic 'Me' seems to be very selfish and at times I hate using it too.
Still, here its definitely about me and hence you can know me better.

This is a poem 'Me' wrote long back. 'Me' keeps on adding more lines as he moves on.
Enjoyyyy !!!

-------------------------
This story is about a very simple guy,
Reason you know, and don ask me why,
Things have been gr8, things have been fine ,
It’s nothing about whisky, nothing about wine.

I remember the days when I was all alone,
It was just my career and nothing else was known,
Had tedious times, but never did I rest,
Always had in mind "Its survival for fittest".

Things went good, but never went great,
It was the success, I always had to wait,
College times were tough, they were hard as the rocks,
It was a busy highway where I always got knocked.

It is a history I never want to read,
It is a history I never want to repeat,
I made mistakes all through those days,
But carried on the work all thru illicit ways.

Hearing since years, and always had in mind,
"Every successful man has a woman behind",
I still believe that i’ll get my awaited fame,
The women im talking " Lady Luck " is her name.

But now, life have got revived with lots of snow around me,
The best thing here are my great friends that always surround me,
They praise me for good, they kick me for fun,
We make an awesome group like Stars, moon and Sun.

Now am roaming from one place to another place,
Seems its the Great Gods grace,
I went to the north and went to east,
I want to visit all places one time at least.

Amazing days are ahead, the days will be great,
But losing to obstacles is definitely what I hate,
I'll rise like the champagne from the bottle in bars,
And my shine will outshine the brightest of the stars.
