Long break again..

Breaks have become too long and too frequent. Its been only one post per month. Partly coz' Deepu is busy with her studies and partly also because of the other blog that we started and has been taking all our attention www.ammavanta.blogspot.com . Basically a blog with South Indian recepies, should be an interesting read for those struggling with cryptic recepies overflowing on the web. Nevertheless Dopanchi being our personal blog will always remain our first priority and will continue to carry events and issues we want to put across.

Summer is catching up and the next 6 weeks are going to be the worst. Evenings are offcourse pleasant especially at the beach with a gentle breeze and we are most often trying to spend the evenings there. For the past two weeks me and Deepu have started a routine of making it to the Manipal Stadium by 6 AM and return after a good two and a half km jog. On our way back Deepu has been driving me back home and i should say shes picked it up pretty fast, that too through the narrow roads of Udupi. Its been a good progress as far as our fitness program is concerned and we've been able to make it on most of the days. The rest of the day both of us have been taking refuge under the air conditioner, me at the office and Deepu in her room. I am just waiting for the end of May when the rains start here, and as i did mention in the blogs last year at around this time, when the monsoon begins here, it just pours and pours like theres no tomorrow. The whole landscape turns green and with all the rivers running full its a spectacular scene.

In the previous blog I made a mention of how we transformed the Malpe beach here in Udupi. Work is still-on, on it and the weekend crowds that are pouring are very encouraging. My next mission is the Udupi Stadium. The Udupi athletic stadium, though has come up well in comparision to what it was earlier, thanks to the Inter-District sports held in Udupi in 2006, it still is not the ideal place for a sports enthusiast. With not a single blade of grass, it presents a very depressing picture of barren ground and a dusty track. The construction of the stands has been completed recently and lot of concrete and gravel still lying on the rim of the track. So i've decided to do something about changing the landscape of this stadium. A meeting of the executive comittee will be called shortly and lets see whats gonna come out of it. Will update in future blogs.
