MEMORIES

I drains my glass and slowly look around.
How many more drinks till the memories drown?
A pirate I knew beyond any compare.
A man and a sailor who would dare.
A PIRATE KING WITHOUT A FROWN,
Anand the Invincible would wear the crown!!!!!


People come and people go leaving an impact on your life...some positive and some negative.
With Anand there is nothing i can think of which would be negative...full of energy...willing to help...always laughing...a true friend...a sailor by profession and a sailor by heart!!!!

I had the pleasure of having him as a batchmate in our pirate training and as well as sailing with him on a ship which was the Santa Maria of the Indian fleet...the largest ever to sail on the Indian fleet!!!
But like all good things come to an end so did our friendship and not because I welshed or cheated but because he did.
A rough sea..a morning round on deck...a 60 feet wave...the ship under water rising back......
ANAND WE WISH YOU PEACE IN YOUR WATERY GRAVE!!!!
YOU WERE TOO NICE A PERSON FOR THIS WORLDLY WAY!!!!
