Sleepless Eyes and Undying Excitement

Sleepless Eyes and Undying Excitement

Good Bye Delhi, and Welcome Chennai…….one country but with great contradiction of language, culture, tradition and values. But still a vibrant city with so much of beauty and love from people around……after a weeklong orientation full of long night parties, landed in Chennai at 1:30 with red eyes dying to sleep. However, the excitement was way more powerful and convincing that took straight to one of the learning Centres of Pudiyador (New Beginning) at Besant Nagar Beach.

The place was full of energy and excitement, guess because of Sunday. Fortunately, it was a cultural evening at the centres where children again thrilled me with their outstanding stunts and dance actions. It was beyond my imagination to think of such small children would perform in such a beautiful way. The story is long and there is lot to share and talk about it, just want to keep it on hold as it is my first day and there is lot more coming up, will be sharing more…….Love for all my Delhi friends and fellows who have spent quality time and created sort of bonds in just a span of one week…will see u in the mid term…
