I am so glad my family and I went on the NRIVA Thanksgiving cruise this year. It was a wonderful and relaxing experience for all of us. We had the amazing pportunity to meet people from all over the country who all share the same beliefs and values of my family. We made awesome new friends that we will definitely keep in touch with. The food, excursions, and Vasavi activities were all memorable. I am looking forward to meet everyone once again during the NRIVA convention in New Jersey. Thank you for creating this event!

Once again thanks Ram garu for making this wonderful trip!!!

Thank you everyone for making this cruise an awesome experience! It was a time that we will never forget! Thanks to the Jacksonville host families for receiving us with great hospitality and sending us back with the same feeling from Daya and it really felt like a family. Thanks to the Ram Garu for taking the biggest responsibility of arranging everything and making this cruise as smooth and efficient. It was definitely one for the books as my kids also had an amazing time creating new friendships. I always feel left out as I miss marriages and functions in India but the togetherness of the NRIVA family filled in that gap. Thanks once again to everyone for this amazing cruise.

 కార్నివాల్ లో పయనం
 కారు నావలా మారిన వైనం
 యాంత్రిక జీవనానికొక విరామం
 అట్లాంటిక్ జల తీరాల విహారం
 షడ్రసొపేత రుచుల సమాహారం
జిహ్వ జీవుల అనుసంధానం
ఆకలి ఆత్మల ఆలింగనం
ఆవిడ చంకలో చంటి పిల్ల
ఆయన మెడలో కెమెరా బిల్ల
ఆవిడ అందం రమణీయమే
కాని ఆయన కెమెరా పనితనం కొంచెం అనుమానమే
సమాచార కెటలాగు ఎన్నారైవిఎ బ్లాగు
సృష్టించిన చంద్రులకో నూలు పోగు
ఇలేషన్ లో నాలుగు రోజుల జీవనం
రిలేషన్ లెన్నో దరి చేర్చిన తరుణం
చివరిగా
భేషు మహభేషు ఎన్నారైవా
మళ్లీ దర్శనమెప్పుడు మానవా!!!

We really enjoyed each and every minute of the cruise. It is absolutely a memorable trip for us. You have taken very good care of each and everything. Awesome job Ram garu. we are very blessed to be part of this NRIVA grp. I told to all of my relatives in USA to join this grp. Without NRIVA , we will not be this much happy after our cruise trip.

·        Nagaraj and Priya Chatakondi, Greenville, MS
We had a wonderful experience at the 2016 NRIVA cruise to Bahamas.  Pre-cruise events were as enticing as Cruise events.  Thank you organizers for your hard work to make it a memorable experience for the attendees.  We made friends all over the country and look forward to meet a few before and the rest during 2017 convention.  This was our best trip ever and look forward to several more with NRIVA family in future.  Thanks

Ram Garu, Namaskaramulu.
We all thank all of the team for your hard work and dedication for organizing and conducting a nice cruise and cultural program. Felt like it was a big wedding celebration. Recollecting the memories of earliest Vysya gathering we attended in early 80s near Pittsburg, and realizing that I'm in the middle of a cruise, I was personally going through lot of emotions.
I specially enjoyed your Mahesh babu dance and dynamic performance.
Hopefully, see all of you very soon in another big gathering.
All the best

I absolutely loved the NRIVA Thanksgiving cruise. The events that NRIVA had were perfectly coordinated. Hats off for Ram Uncle. I'm sure that every single   Individual enjoyed the trip. The Indian food, cultural events, and the connectedness between the members was really the icing on the cake. I'm so amazed at how many chapters are taking a role in this event. Overall, this cruise was very successfully made and thanks to all who made it possible!

·        T.P. Radha, New Jersey
This short and sweet Thanksgiving trip was truly memorable. I have never been exposed to so many interesting, friendly, and down to earth people, especially from our Telugu speaking community. I am so glad that I met new people and spent time in the sun away from the stresses of college. It was a great break and wonderful experience! Thank you to all of those that helped organize this trip.
