“God’s Own Country” that’s what they call it; Kerala the southern state of India. It was my first ever trip to Kovalam, one of the best-known tourist spots in Kerala. Kovalam beach, popular for it’s clean waters, surrounded with coconut trees swaying to the jazzy wind and the well maintained beaches around witnessed a team of young and energetic people walking on the shore, playing football and swinging along the high raise waves.

Though Kovalam beach is hardly 45 Km from my hometown, I never visited it in the past 15 years. We a team of 11 started our journey from Techno park in three two-wheelers and a car. In the next 30 minutes we all arrived at one of the viewpoints near to the beach; from there we reached the Samudhra beach resort where we had light refreshments and kicked off the days proceedings with a game of football. With my team leading the game at 4-1 during half time, most of us shifted the gear towards the high raising waves and there started the most amazing part of the trip. Even after receiving warnings from the lifeguard about the high raising waves, we went on to the deep waters and had fun for hours and hours before the sun finally decided to hide from us into the deep sea leaving us to pack the bags.

It’s not over yet, for those enthusiastic young guys the resort had a swimming pool which some of us could not afford to miss. Five of us went on to explore the calm and clean water for the next 30 minutes and finally we all settled for dinner at the resort before we found our way back home in the night around 10 pm.

I sent an e-mail to one of my friends at Delhi that I’ve cleared CSQA exam, CSQA is one of those certifications which I thought I would never be able to clear it with my kind of preparation. Now he’s asking for treat, the reason being he has already cleared CSQA and gave me few tips as how to approach the exam. I had heard about e-greetings e-mail e-business etc., but how can one do an e-treat?
