UPDATING THE EVENTS .....................

29th,june,2009,

7 p.m

dear friends,

good evening.after two months, i reported for duty today.the day was nice and going to get busy now with the work load.amma read my last post from pc and i felt very happy.nanda's presence does magic and i miss them badly.my friend asha sharma is on leave and i had to have my tiffin alone during break.the formal quieries were there-''hai,anu,how are you?''''where were you?''''we missed you''.thanks,dear friends,who really care for me.

i hope,all of you know i am not at trichur anymore.i live in a place where nature has blessed the location with beaches and hills.my building overlooks into the sea,the harbour.the ships are anchored and the reflections of light in the water fill one's mind with peace and romance.five minutes in my balcony takes me to another world.i woke up today to the konkani songs flowing through the loudspeaker.then i remembered.today is special for the locals.

29th,june is a sacred day for the fishermen as the day is dedicated to their patron saint,St.peter along with St.paul.Sangodd is of two hundred years old tradition.they venture out into the rivers as usual at the crack of dawn.but instead of rowing their canoes to catch fish,today the fishermen tie their traditional wooden canoes together and form the Sangodd.palm leaves and bamboos are used to decorate the Sangodd to resemble a chapel.

Saangodd,the festival of fishermen ,is another occasion for the locals to celebrate the spirit of the land and thank their guarding spirits.

i have promised someone this post will be short,so,i have to stop here.

it's anu signing off.............

i hope,this information will be helpful for you before visiting this beautiful land.here,people celebrate life in each moment.they rock the parties.

paying homage to my beloved director,SHRI.LOHITHA DAS and praying whole heartedly for the peace of the departed soul,

let me remind you,life is short..........please learn to forgive.anu loves you all.

good night!

sasneham,
