"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness; but still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing"------------------ John Keats in his poem Endymion(1818)

Some experiences in life are memorable and can never be washed off!Last week , I went to a trip to Pattiseema ,a place where River Godavari separates two districts East and West Godavari in Andhra Pradesh.This beautiful place is 200 km from visakhapatnam and the only means of transport when once we step into Pattiseema is by water ways..This is the place where most of the tribal people of all sects habituate and it gave me an oppurtunity to visit a place what one can never imagine to be!We were a family of 10 members who planned to visit this beautiful place..Ride on the boat ,the cool river breeze,fantastic scenaries ,and family around me made me forget everything ..we booked a boat and in the morning and had a pleasant ride on it through the entire day.The picturesque view of mountains on one side,big natural sand dunes on the other,cloudy sky on the top,fresh water at the bottom made all of us (there were 200 members in the boat) feel as if we were in other world!In the mean time a small disco was arranged where children danced to various songs on the crew ,description of the places by the guide,halting the boat in the middle for a break...made us feel more or less like a picinc on the boat..In the evening,there was big shower of rainfall for which the boat was taken to the shore and stopped for a few minutes..there was no signal or communication to the outside world!Everyone of us felt tensed as the guide declared that the boat will not be started until the rain ..old people started chanting mantras..;children saying that it is going to be a 2nd TITANIC story..but by God's grace, big thunders turned into droplets and we reached the shore safely!!
