24-10-07 Pabbas/ Pondi and togetherness

I wore a wanderers hat and went visiting Chennai, pondi and Mangalore.

Each trip for a different reason, but each trip adding to memories that could be cherished :)

I was working out of the Chennai office for a few days and met many entrepreneurs who run their own manpower consulting agencies. Their knowleeege on the industry was simply amazing and helped me realise their passion towards the role thy played.

My friends from XIME who had eaaarlier accompanied me to Pondi when we were in college decided to come down again as I was working from Chennai. Pondi remains as inviting as ever and we could stretch our budget strings better and savour it further. What was more important were the line of conversations we had more serious in tone, sincere and devoid of hypocris it felt like we were re-discovering each other, the bonds became stronger, fom the spiritual to the sexual we went talking our hearts out...many of us who continue to wander have started to pause, retrospect and then move on. All of us together believe that running makes oooe more intelligent and how we coould use that increased % of rey mattr in creating more avenues to further utilise it, it was like creating a chain reactioon it was the best mind gym I had in recent months...

Pabbas one of my fav hangouts in Mangaore hasnt lost its charm, the reasooon y I was there was to congratulate a dear friend as she stepped ito holy matrimony, we had discussions abt the value of togetherness and I told her about the Chinese custom of giving away a 1000 origami cranes during weddings as symbolic of sustaining a relationship for a 1000 years. Simly Beautiful, naaa :)

Togetherness to me is not only abt two souls who come together, but the additiona acceptance and willingness to acomodate each others families, customs, cultural ethos, social obligations and in the end to smile each day and watch the sunset ymbolizing the net morn, theres beauty, trust, hope and joy in togethrness as well as dark circles/mopped hair, pain, anger, posssiveness n suspicion in togetherness....I know many of u will add smmore as a followup to this mail...
