Pongal O Pongal!!

Something pretty strange that I am trying hard to think and write of something thats worth a mention. This is the problem I have been facing since the onset of 2008 and could not put up anything in this space :-0) Let me write about my Pongal vacation back home on a lazy sunday.

I have always grown up hearing an axiom that says " Whatever you do on a new years day and the frens you meet on that day, you would be doing all that through out the year" and coincidentally it seems to be coming true in my case. Atleast month of Jan seems to be proving the saying. Ohh..You are now curious as to what I did on that day..;)

As I told in my archives, I have been at home for new year after almost 5 years and also partly in train travelling back to the pavilion. After that, within 2 weeks of time I planned my vacation yet again to my hometown for celebrating Pongal. This is something very much unlike me to travel in such a short time with reasons being two. Mom's food is one constant reason and the other being a school frens reunion after a decade. Ohh my...!! That really makes me look old...he he he

My school days(@ Kendriya Vidyalaya Waltair) are really unforgettable cos of the kind of people I met and the teachers around. I strongly feel that it was then that the foundation was laid of whatever I am and can call myself today. I bet every student out from KV comes out into the BIG bad world with a sense of pride and confidence for being part and parcel of KV. I can write on and on about school days....:-)

Yes, thanks to orkut that I got in touch with all those school mates whom I completely lost track for almost a decade...and it dint take too long to plan for a small get together during Pongal as most of us would come home.

We did meet... relived all those moments ...shared the notorious stories...and had a glimse of everyones journey from "Piggy tails to Pony tails" ( Yes guys, I am being a lil partial here he he he but then these days guys also have ponies..;);)
Catching up with old pals couldnt have got better as we all had lotta fun on the Vizag beaches and on Kailasa giri. The day was done and we all had fun and I was back here for a hectic week...Boo hoo....

More than anyone else, I was surprised to see people follwoing this space and expecting some crap here..:-)
