The warmth of Hospitality - Thank You Bahrain..!
KOSS Global Meet, Bahrain
21 December 2007, Friday
My dear brothers and Sisters of the KOSS fraternity around the world,
I would like to express my intense gratitude to my own brothers and sisters of Bahrain for the hospitality given to us which made us felt like a child at the warmth of caring, loving mother.
Thank you so much Bahrain….for giving us such an affectionate, loving, warm, devoted, amorous welcome…my vocabulary is small…The Kallakkadavil brothers, Ponnachan, Jacob ….and all... Also for those loving brothers, sisters and children from Saudi Arabia -- The Keeppallils, The Panamthuntil, The Chamuttathu, The Kavupurathu and so on.., and our dear friends, distinguished guests, esteemed delegates from Qatar, Kuwait and the other parts of the Middle East and from India. Above all, to the captain who is standing tall above all others, who give his body and soul to those who love him or whom he loves, irrespective of caste, creed, community, country—Dr.John panackal, the brain and the spirit behind reconnecting and reshaping the Kudassanad community around the world and singlehandedly making this movement to reckon among the elite Middle East Society as a powerful force; kudos to him and to the forum under his captaincy, the KOSS.
The Bahrain experience is an ever memorable one for us, one of the most beautiful experiences that we ever had in our life. The event was managed professionally in presence of the elites and in an elegant setup. As if I came back to an era where all those people and things I thought to have missed from my life have come back at the centre stage in life. I met some of those old buddies after more than a quarter of a century. I could spend the days with those respectable people whom I admired in my childhood as role models and share their enlightening experiences.
An opportunity for a direct interaction with those hardworking self achievers, who inspires others a new hope in life. There were those intellectuals who proved if you have the real talent, then talent only is the criteria for reaching top of the world and getting admirations from around the world. And most importantly the hospitality-I never believed it like this-as if at the lap of a caring, loving mother-really mesmerizing !--thank you again Johnachayan and his dedicated self sacrificing team.
These days I have no telephones, no internet, no e-mails, no meetings, no office, no loud noise, no pollution and only few guests … don’t think that these things are not available at the place I am right now, but I am away from all those mind blowing daily chorus, enjoying a perfect holiday now at a place, at my own God’s own countryside - Kudassanad.
Never mind if anybody have any requirement in Kerala, I am here till 22 January 2007, please don’t hesitate to contact me (Ph.0091-974 504 8785)
