Some of us had planned to head back home by afternoon and so boating had been organized in the morning . A big thanks to Jayakumar for doing all the legwork and arranging.
Boat ride was fun .. a continuation of

In addition to the photos, I am also posting some videos.

The last lot to leave on the 6th morning.
A huge round of applause to Gnana, Gajan, Jayakumar , Satya and everyone who made this trip a memorable one.
Hoping to meet you all again at Palakkad on 27 Aug !
We left the flaming dragons quite late at night or may be early in the morning with a strong hangover of some spirited dancing .
But some of us were keen for a morning walk along the famous promenade beach.
Satya was busy doing a brisk walk completing his 10,000 steps , 4 Km or whatever, while OV, Venkatesh and I had a leisurely stroll along the promenade taking time for selfies.
Flaming dragons was a surprise event for most of us.
Later I learnt from Gnana that it was in their plans to include a visit to the youngsters dream place to shake a leg after dinner!
The original plan was was limited to 3-4 guys and when the ‘boys’ started piling into the cars, the number was almost ten . I for one had decided to give it a miss on Saturday as we , in any case were going there on Sunday.
So we proceeded with Gnana leading the way on a scooter with me on the pillion and the cars following.
I will never be able to say if it was right on our part to have accepted the generous offer from Gajan and Gnana for a free entry to a place where other revellers had to pay an entry fee of Rs 2000/ or so.
It was a kind of gate crash into a party and we all trooped in . Baburaj and Ilango straight away got into the dance floor and others followed.

There were only 20 plus and 60 plus dancers and nothing in between. Seeing the mood of Ashokarajan , one could have grouped him with the 20 plus. It was absolutely a feeling of shedding of the years at least temporarily . For some reason our ladies didn’t seem to share the spirit of adventure or may be ‘boys’ never grow up. Only Divya, the young lady was there enjoying the beats .
Whatever, it was an experience of a lifetime and even those who didn’t hit the dance floor were mentally there.
For me it was a proof that you don’t need spirit inside you to bring out the spirit ! Energy was flowing freely , so visible and so was the spirit of camaraderie. A great event to remember for ever !
