WINTER OF 2013 for Narasimharao Vallabhajosyula

Just like "come September" ,this is my first Winter in my life while trying to figure out, whats this
Blogging business.I am very familiar with e-mailing etc relating to Internet and recently ,a few months ago
got attuned to ' Face Book" and admit frankly ,i would like to be with this internet business with a weekly
periodicity only, to avoid  I- ADDICTION, and only addicted to my " I " SEARCHING .
Narrate briefly about my experience of a recent excursion to MALPE, a small,yet a popular tourist resort
area.WE, our family of 4 camped there at ' Paradise Isle residency: from 25th Dec till 28th Dec; 10 am.

we flew from Hyderabad by Spice jet at 730am ,to land at 9am at Mangalore, the West coast-
a nature precious western ghats- hills belt extending from southern tip of India, Kerala state upto
Gujarat state ;passing thru  Maharashtra.
From where, we motored down to Malpe ,some 60 Km on the beach of Arabian sea, the spot called
St Marys beach,checking in at the residency . For rest of the day, we relaxed on the beach in the evenning
till Sun set, sun setting over the horison on the sea.our viewing sun set over a sea for the first time
in life.

of course, at Kanyakumari in Kerala , a few years ago ,simultaneously
saw both sun rise and sun set ,over the confluence of Bay of Bengal ,Indian ocean and
Arabian sea.
Next day , we visited by cab, Murudeswar' a sea side temple of Lord Siva,where a huge siva murty,
a statue in sitting posture erected , ashore adjasent to temple. Its some 60km from Malpe . From there we
proceeded to  Mookambika temple, and i take it as another form of Goddess Saraswati,the goddess
of intelligence ( worshipped as such). its another 70km away, we travelled there.
We returned to base camp by 5pm,starting in the mornning at 9am after sumptuous! breakfast.
That was on 26th instant. On 27th Dec we , rested , visiting beach in the mornning and evenning.
In fact, at 10am we , briefly sailed to a very small un-inhabited island,about 5km away, to return  by
1230pm for lunch.

On 28th Dec, starting on our return journey , enroute Mangalore; we visited a well known
temple of Lord Krishna at Udipi. we, in our childhood/  boyhood days have hotels in our native
place Guntur, named so and called UDIPI hotels, run by udipi brahmins, in 1950s till 1980s

we flew back by Spicejet, by 3.30pm flight,landing at 5pm.
Thus we really enjoyed our sojourn with daughters Sowndarya and Sowmya.
