Well.. I finally got my date of joining in Tata Elxsi.
Though I myself was quite confused about my future, the announcement of date of joining, ironically, increased the complexity of my life. I was forced to take decisions which if go wrong would cost me my career. Anyways, I decided to join elxsi and before joining elxsi, I wished to experience how a GDPI at a B school goes. So I went to TAPMI, Manipal. Though I had a bitter but useful experience at Manipal, back at udupi ( from where I commuted to and fro to manipal) I did have some fun. As there was a spare day left after my GDPI session and for me to leave to bangalore, I went to Udupi Krishna Temple, a movie and the malpe beach.
The Udupi Krishna Temple is one of the famous temples of the south. I had an entirely spiritual experience there, partly because of its calm and beauty and partly because of my solitude. After that as I had an afternoon to spend, I decided to go for a movie, 13B. Unfortunately it couldn't stand to its tag. Fear doesn't still have a new address. The movie was dumb. Then in the evening, I was in a dilemma whether to go to the beach or not. I remember reading in some post in a community that the malpe beach is a must watch if one visits udupi. Owing to that anonym0us advice, I took a bus and reached malpe beach. Although I had my own apprehensions that as I was alone, I might not be able to have fun, I went in with a mood to have a good time. But surprisingly it turned out to be fantastic. Far better than what I expected.
Inspired from my experience there, I jotted down a poem, my poem #3.
Hope you guys like it. Do leave your comments.
Was I sleeping in the sun, wondered I with disbelief;
Two eyes weren’t just enough, to behold such a master piece.
Every step that took me near, was lighter than the one before;
White sand, blue sky, trees and sea, that’s where I witnessed heaven on earth.
Like an insane human being, I lost all thought of self respect;
Briskly stripped all rags off me, excepting just a tiny brief.
With no adieu I got into, those delicate froth filled arms of sea;
With sprinkles, splashes all over, it gulped me whole in a single swig.
Although those waves looked innocent, truly immense was their strength;
Care I not for a single second, that surely would've been my end.
Sly and slow and strong at times, no two came with a single mind;
Proud and haughty they did seem, perpetually propelled by the wind.
In its path there I had stood, brave and timid at a time;
Kept waiting watching crests and troughs, heart filled with thrill and exuberance.
First was brusque but not that tough, next was merely a gentle lift;
With more than half my body in, I felt the warmth of the womb of the sea.
With a checkered blanket all around, I quickly noticed where I am;
Just blips were all those men I saw, as I was already fifty paces in.
Swiftly while I did retreat, admired how luring was the sea;
And something meanwhile caught my heed, a mighty red ball kissing the sea.
And when I thought I had enough, I watched what fun that nature had;
With gentle sways of in and out, Palm and coconut moved around.
And as I walked those last few steps, where waves must break all pride of theirs;
A gain and loss of buoyancy, made heart and body feel heavy.
Dripping, dragging I moved out,
and felt a zephyr whiz past me;
drying away my bedewed lips ,
it left a layer of brackish white;
quite strange but the taste that I felt then,
was one of the sweetest of my life.
I hope you guys like the poem.
