Malampujha Dam

Hello Friends

I am back with a new place. Well the most important point about this place is its located in the southernmost end of India. The Malampujha Dam is situated in Kerela in Pallakkad District. I and a Southy friend of mine visited dam last saturday. I felt good after meeting a familiar face after so long time. Although I had  class (office ), but it was half day. we had very less time to go Kerala and return back, therefore I ran towards home as soon as I can. When I reached, I found that I lost my cupboard key. I searched them everywhere, but they were not found. I asked our warden if she has the key, yes the keys were with the warden. Actually I forgot them at the cupboard door only. She took them, when housekeeping staff came in. Now I first reached railway station, as it was decided between me and my friend. But there was no train at that time, so we took a bus to Ukkadam Bus stand. We boarded the bus and went Kerala. En the route towards Kerala, it started raining. We reached Pallakad and boarded another bus for Malampujha Dam. At this time it was raining slowly. I was thinking that the rains will slow down and eventually stop. Now we entered the dam cum garden. The concept behind this place is that, they have created a big garden around dam, really great idea. We were roaming in that garden, with a slight fear, because then place had insufficient lights and less no of people.


 Soon It started raining heavily and we became complete wet. I had tension of my e gadgets- mobiles and cam. Soon we ran towards exit and boarded the bus for railway station. The train was after 45min, now we were waiting at the platform and we were hungry. But we were not able to find any good stuff there, so we just had Biscuits and tea. The train was late 15min and it took more time that usual to reach Coimbatore. We were tired like hell. We parted our ways at the station. I found a veg restaurant infront of station, but it was closed, another 2 restaurants were also closed. In the end I was able to search a good veg restaurant. I had my dinner and boarded a bus to Gandhipuram. From Gandhipuram to Shivananda Colony. Actually I wanted to reach Rathinapuri, but I was not able to explain conductor the stop name. When I reached Shivananda stop, he said me to de board the bus, I said next stop, but such a type of conductor he was, he made me de board the bus there only. Now I was completely exhauted, first office, then rains and now this bus conductor. The clock was showing 11:45pm. As soon as I got down I started requesting for lifts, after walking some distance I got one (Risky business at this time in a new place).

 


I still had some distance to cover to reach my home. Now I was on foot, as I was passing by the bridge I saw lots of dogs. I was scared, but I kept myself calm and cool and crossed it. Finally I reached Home. Surprise It was locked, so I jumped from the wall and got in, again the stairs door was locked, finally I called my warden, she opened the gate and I reached my flat.
