Me at Peupalem & On Beach Festival

At the beach

The calm of the chill February morning reeked of deception,
as workers scrambled here and there to make an event of mighty conception.
As little fishing boats enriched the mighty Bay of Bengal;
we fought with all the might, against time, tide and pessimists all.

At the Venue

The gentle charm of the beach was not shattered,
as crowds poured into the event, and were aptly monitored
And dances and songs enticed the visiting masses,
for West Godavari, the event was of prestige and status.

The Crowd

Vizag or Kakinada's opulence - Perupalem could never dream to match,
but there's a certain Je ne Sais Quoi - and herein is the catch.
What wonders could we make for want of time,
Yet, thunders of applause sufficed like an endearing rhyme!
