I put a message in a bottle and sent it into the Lakshadweep Sea today.
While enjoying a large bottle of Kingfisher at Coconut Grove restaurant at Lighthouse Beach in Kovalam, Kerala, deep in southern India, I felt the sudden urge to leave my mark; to let someone know that I had indeed been here. That I'd seen a majestically beautiful part of India I'd only heard and read about, but never known, until now.
I longed for my message to be profound. I want the person who eventually finds it to be moved, and changed, after reading it; to never be the same from that day forward.
It came to me, almost immediately.
Written in all its glory on a tiny sheet of paper, signed "- eyebleaf," I penned one, single, solitary word: "Playoffs!!1"

The year is 2013. While celebrating on the shores of Lake Ontario eyebleaf trips over a glass bottle...
Your optimism is adorable. Eyebeleaf in eyebleaf.
That is an awesome idea. I'd do it but I don't think i'd ever get a chance to go all the way to India
OMG, only you would have written that..lol
Congrats, Canadians, on your stirring win for the hockey gold. We made it interesting but youz guyz are the champs. Enjoy.
If that bottle somehow turns up on the shores of Lake Ontario in 5-10 years, you should start freaking out!
It sounds to be really great idea.Something unique.This bottle message idea can be awesome to present as a gift to loved ones.
