(   A Letter to my close friend & B.Com classmate  Sakkeer........)



The Alakapuri Summit

                                                                                                                    - Sunil Kunnoth

It is June-the month of Monsoon.  The sky is cloudy and it rains so lavishly.  Monsoon is marvellous.  People from all over the world fly to Kerala to experience the Monsoon magic during the season.

I am thrilled now.  The last night’s (05-06-09) get-together at “Alakapuri” has brought   my cheers back and I went thru’ the nostalgia of our college life.  I do admit that our college days were not as colorful as it should have to be…Because we studied in an evening college.  We were not so lucky to have the presence of girls around us.  We attended class after getting tired from our work.  We cycled kilometers with efforts for a target-to become a BCom graduate!  Then, we were not rich enough to celebrate our days lavishly.  Still we loved  it all. 

Today, our struggle has brought us success.  We all are now on the track.  All live joyfully with their spouse and kids.  Yesterday it was tears; today it is cheers and tomorrow……....? I don’t know what it will be……..  Let’s pray the God to bless us abundantly and make us richer in all aspects.

Hope you don’t mind me becoming more emotional and philosophical.  I know, we can share our feelings to only those who have a listening ear and an open mind.  I also know you belong to that category.  Hence this novel venture of writing a few lines with a splash of love!

It is after a long gap we meet each other.  What happened at “Alakapuri” was beyond our expectation.  Both Gireesh and Narayanan deserve a big clap.  Credit also goes to Narendran.  The night at the Hotel was a fantastic experience.  It brought me back the memory of yet another colourful night we had at Ootty years back.  The dine and drink were excellent.  The only missing aspect was music.  Music is a magic weapon to soothe our mind and body.  The moods provided by music are lasting longer and are stronger than what we achieve thru Alcohol.  We should compensate it next time.

Music, Romance and Spirits……the life is worthless and boaring if we don’t have these three tastes.  It is the essential ingredients for a happy life.

We should have more get togethers.  We already had two tours.  I am thinking of conducting the 3rd one soon preferably during September. (After a talk with Pradeep, I have fixed the destination-It is Goa.  The Paradise in India!)  For me, travel is a weakness.  I love and enjoy it enormously.  It gives us a lot of benefits.  That’s why a genius once said-Each journey is a discovery!   Yes, it is an education also.  So travel as can as possible.

And finally….We are on the last lap of our journey.  By now we had a long drive. Still I am tireless.  The satisfaction I derived thru this ‘drive’ (means this letter) cannot be calculated, priced and compared.  It is beyond  imagination.  B’coz  the co-passengers were my ‘close souls.’

The Rain has stopped and the Sun is more shining now.  My mind is even more shining!

Here ends the story of “Alakapuri Summit” held on the World Environment Day.

I will be blessed if this Note (kurippu) touched you.  And I will be pleased if you drop a line in reply.

Await the pleasure of your early response.

With love……………..

Yours
Sunil Kunnoth
