POOVAR Trip!

2018 Summer Vacation
1. Booked tickets from B'lore to Thiruvananthapuram -- Sleeper coach bus - KPN Travels
2. Bus journey was good -- Note: Preferably book upper berth and in the middle section of the bus
3. Started around 8 pm and reached around 9 am at Thiruvananthapuram -- Note: There is no dinner break during night journey.. hence have your dinner before you start your journey or you can pack some food to have it in bus
4. Got off from bus at Thiruvananthapuram and took Auto Rickshaw to reach Poovar Island -- It's 1 hour journey
5. Reached Poovar Club Mahindra (it was a Sunday) and after a quick shower, headed towards the restaurant for lunch
6. Whole day was spent well within Club Mahindra.. kids were glued to FUN ZONE and the elders were busy eating and playing cards (BREY Game)
7. Next day it was time for boat ride in the backwaters.. spent some good 2 hrs in the boat and also had a nice lunch in the floating restaurant (Saravana Bhavan veg meal -- as it was Monday)
8. Evening time was spent in FUN ZONE and had some delicious food.
9. Next day (Tuesday) was the check out day.. checked out by 12 noon and Club Mahindra gave us another nice room for the remainder of the day (as our bus was at night 8 pm.). Today again we took a boat ride to sea beach.. spent some good time in sea beach.. kids went for horse ride in the beach.
10. Club Mahindra arranged an Innova for us to reach Thiruvananthapuram and from there we boarded the bus for our journey back to Bangalore. Thank You!

Chase your passion...

Do you have some passion that you always wanted to do since your childhood??? Yes, I know we all have.. but we don't dare to chase it.. Because in India, we think only doctors and engineers are well respected in the society.. Hence, at any cost we have to become either a doctor or an engineer... Therefore, if you want to become a sports person or a singer or a dancer or a writer etc.. it's not allowed.. So, you sacrifice your area of interest and succumb to the pressure from society and put all your effort to become what your society want you to become.. Ok..

Suddenly you realize that you have never lived for yourself.. I think this is the best time to invest on yourself... to chase your own passion.. to do something that you always wanted to do... I know we all are living a r...

A way to give back...

Giving back to the society??? This sentence sounds a bit odd.. Yes, because we always believe in taking from the society... and we have taken it for granted that we'll always take from the society... Since our arrival to this beautiful world, we have taken almost everything from the society... It may be good education, good job or a safe and healthy society... and we assume that building a good society is the responsibility of Govt... Yes, you are right.. however, our country is a developing country.. not a developed country... Govt is doing its work at its pace... and since our country is one of the most populous country in the world, a lot of unprivileged people are there in the society.. unfortunately they are deprived from everything... they also don't get their basic school education... That's why the role of privileged people become very vital... Under current scenario, all the privileged people should raise their hand to support the unprivileged people.. We may argue...

President Obama.. the hope..

Today (Jan 20, 2009) Barack "the hope" Obama took oath as the 44th president of USA. Well, it's a memorable day in US history. It's a very special day for the Americans as well as the rest of world.. The dream of Martin Luther King Jr. (Speech: I've a dream..) has become a reality today.. It's incredible to see how a common man can move the entire nation with great hope.. I'm very fortunate to be in US during this period to catch all these actions... Today the entire world witnessed the meaning of a great democracy.. Everyone was amazed to see the smooth transitioning of power with great respect for each other.. Also it was great to see that Ms. Mitchelle Obama presenting a gift to Ms. Laura Bush in the farewell ceremony.. And at the end it was thrilling to watch the inaugural ball (ball dance) of Barack and Mitchelle Obama.. It's a great tradition.. After following the entire day (US Presidential inauguration), I must say we have a lot to learn from A...
