I wanted to write this mail yesterday itself, but was held up with my work. At the outset I whole heartedly congratulate Kamal, Gokul, Lavanya, Ram and Kripa for their untiring effort and dedication which has bought them such glory and fame. As Gita say, "Do your duty and dont bother about results", the team did more than what they can do without expecting any returns. But they got the returns which they deserve and now they are in the limelight. I fell proud to have got a chance to meet them and mingle with them in the last weeks tour.
Each one is an interesting Personality. Kamal is calm and composed and keeps the words to minimum, Lavanya is really a world bank with bubbling enthusiasm and cheer which is shared to others, Krupa, with his witty statements keeps the group laughing all the times, Gokul is a sort of encyclopedia, he talks about all the topics and has answers to all the questions, and last but not least, Ram, the founder member of PS group,is untiring and is fondly known as 'junior subbudu' amoungst the team members.
Its great to have such a team with us and I once again congratulate them for whatever they have achieved and wish them more success in future. I am sure with the able guidance of SB, Dr.KK etc, our group can acheive more in future.
First of all, I like to express my happiness in meeting you for the first time in person during our trip.I really wonder your enthusiasm and friendliness in mingling with us.Earlier through mails and now in person you have impressed me(us) a lot. As rightly quoted by eminent personalities during the meeting, you are the beacon light for this group. We can never forget your statement, "Periya koilukka poreenga, jakaratha, adhu oru kallu kadai. addiction. thirumba mudiyathu". I remembered these words throughout our trip inside the temple. we all were intoxicated by the trip.
Coming to the point, reg 'History Institute' - I was just sharing my thoughts with Kamal during the trip. Already Dr.KK is running an institute. In what way the new institute we are planning about, will be different from Dr.KK's institute? Will it be better to start afresh or get Dr.KK's advice and enrich the existing institute? We have to first answer these questions ourselves...what do you say sps?
Thanks a lot for starting the float. I am really happy to see your mail. Can understand the weight of the subjects discussed by our other team members. Will wait for the detailed mail from the other team members.
Eagerly waiting for Gokul to arrival.
