in memory.....million jolly thoughts!

Suddenly when i plugged my ears with the telugu songs and played the favorite number,"Manasa..." from the movie Munna, i was transported back to Rajahmundry for a moment! The ever flowing river Godavari, the breeze in the evening that eased the tensions of the whole day's work and wiped the memories of the slang bang from the boss, the beautiful nazara of the setting sun behind the waves of the cool waters of Godavari, the fishermen's boats floating on the serene waters searching for the fodder for the day and the travel boats trying to persuade young couples for a ride in the waters.......hmmmmmmmmmmm. I could smell the air and hear the prayers in the ISKON temple by the river ghats,the shouts and cheers of the children in the water park in the Hotel River Bay and can feel the devotional atmosphere of the town.

Frankly speaking,I never had such great memories not even in Pune wherein I stayed for a couple of years to attain the degree of the Masters in management! I enjoyed there,but as a student. Here,at Rajahmundry,I enjoyed as a free man- I was no more limited by my parents money. I had my own money to spend and enjoy as i wanted. That was the joy of being an individual after 25 years of living which flew away while I nursed my bruised health since childhood and chased my dream of becoming a MBA! Life to me now was like a parachute in the atmosphere!

Freaking out with my pal on his scooter or on a bike,going on long drives,discovering the beauty of the nature filled with freshness of a young mind, visiting temples decades older than our grand parents and their parents, crossing brooks which could have swept us away, interactions with paranormal beings,a beautiful relationship that lasted till the time I was there ...can never be divorced!

Today if i am enjoying Telugu songs,I would thank Jo who had gifted me the CD on one of my Birthday...something which i can never forget. There are many songs which we used to sing while playing antakshari on phone almost everyday,talk and talk and talk as much as we could...she was a revelation in herself, a lady in her late 30's with responsibilty of a district and two kids to manage at home. I learnt how to be smiling even when the world commanded us to do all the worlds work at a moment! She taught me how to be laugh and manage the corporate tensions simultaneously. Well,I got a brother also...Rama. He was the person who introduced the whole town to me and made me known to the town. He taught me how to interact with the people there, how to be the best in business and tricks to win clients. he was a client as well for me generating record business for RMF. I and anna (as i call him) were the envy of the competitors as we were close officially and personally.

Devotion, fasting and a sea change in my speaking (Telugu we speak and telugu spoken there at is different), a bend towards God and a strong belief....all this courtsey anna. In Bhubaneshwar, i never used to go to temples,forget fasting! I used to just wish Hi to God in our Puja room and that was more for me but this change in me .....may be God would have been surprised.

well, the memories keep over flowing...i how ever,stop here.
see ya later frnds!
