Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
the rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night -
And I love the rain.
Yeah its raining at chikmagalur :-)
When it rains, she looks gorgeous. I can say the most beautiful lady on earth. She is mother nature.
And we are experiencing a shower of hits to our creation - http://onlinechikmagalur.com

Dreams become thoughts
Thoughts become reality"
Teacher: Abdul Kalam Sir
Students: We, the volunteers of Divya Deepa (http://divyadeepatrust.org)
Its truly a memorable day for us. We dreamed of meeting the missile man, the visionary, the torch bearer, the first citizen of India. It became a reality on yesterday.
We got a great beginning as we met Mr. Manivannan(honorable DC of Mysore), our guru. We were in a different world(still we are). Initial talk with Manivannan sir increased our josh and enthu.
Nadaswaram played, Bunch of official convoy vehicles vroomed in. Our God stepped in from white ambassidor. Heart Skipped.
Mahesha and Sachin welcomed Kalam sir with Peepal Leaf memento. Kalm Sir gave a BIG smile :). We were overjoyed.
A bunch of officials, police folks were roaming around. We became a part of them, counting milli seconds, awaiting for the memorable moment of life.
We were able to talk to concerned folks about our purpose. Counting milli seconds continues.
Kalam sir personal secretary Mr.Prasad called us inside the President Suite. :-) :-) :-)
We were stunned, dumbstuck.
Kalam sir asked each one of us what we are doing. We were relaxed. We spoke about Divya Deepa, the concept and challenges. Kalam sir motivated us.
We spoke about India Unplugged, our dream baby.
More Photos -> Here
We took autographs, clicked photos. Kalam sir was smiling and Inspired us to take up the task of Nation Building.
Our dreams took wings. We came out, blessed by God. We jumped, shouted, made fun and frolic.

A Snippet from Online Chikmagalur
The mystic peaks of the western ghats giving the cool and sensual feel of the nature's magic! The blue tinge of the sky & the tingling sensation of fresh green grass. Towering peaks covered with an evergreen blanket showering it's splendid beauty. A treat to nature lovers and an absolute marvel to travellers all over. Narrow lanes of roads cut through these peaks offer an absorbing view when viewed from the top. Refreshing farmlands that splash the essence of the countryside. A calming effect to a wavering mind and a photographer's dream. Truly Priceless and Majestic!!!
In short it’s a dream come true….

I ran for Divya Deepa(http://divyadeepatrust.org) @ Sun Feast World 10K Marathon.
10 Kilometers was like a cake walk. :) Finished the run within time :)
Divya Deepa is the cause. So nothing stopped me. Neither the huffing-puffing breathe, increased heart beat, straining legs.
