learnings

There is something so energizing about a trip. I am off to Yercaud, a little hill station in the Eastern Ghats. I have been here several times but with different sets of people. Each time the experience is different. As my son has put it, experience matters! Inspired by his writings I took time off to watch IPL, CRICKET match at the famed Chepauk stadium. the stadium has been renovated and looks quite good now...The experience of being seated among frenzied fans, fireworks, cheer leaders,stale food etc made the evening worthwhile!! To connect the dots I have always been an 'experience' person. But it was my son who put this into words for me.. So I am off to yet another experience!!

Fire works, dance and music Stars, audience and Superstars! Burgers, chips and coke.. Self styled commentators Frenzied teens and babbling kids Green grounds despoiled with painted ads Pot bellied police and drunken fans Balloons, flags and caps Smell of coffee and sauce Vodafone, citibank and aircel Secret rendevouz and bonds of friendship Man, woman and child All united under the umbrella of religion The religion of cricket!!!! My tryst with IPL on 7/4/11 at CHEPAUK stadium, Chennai
