Last Saturday we visited Athirapalli Waterfalls in Kerala. Story starts with a text message from a friend, asking about the fall. I gave my confirmation soon as I am fond of Nature. Complete planning was done by two friends. I had no clue of the venue type, arrangements and members so just a night before I visited my friends room to enquire about the arrangements at that time, he gave me the responsibility for the rest of the journey, now I was sort of administrator. Our vehicle started from hostel to girls one, they came on board. Now the Journey begins, I collected trip amount from everyone. We were listening music lil dancing and having fun. After some time, we stopped at the petrol pump and had breakfast in a nearby restaurant. Most of us started feeling boredom now, except me as I was talking to all of them on an interesting topic or other.
Finally we reached Athirapalli
and I stepped down for tickets, the total ticket amount was Rs445, I gave
ticket collector a note of Rs500, and he gave me RS 250 as change, I didn’t
moved from the window, to clarify my doubt about the change, but the queue
behind me were in hurry. I got out from the queue and I called him twice, to
return the money back, he didn’t listen.I came back in cab, all clapped,
I thanked them for the applause.(Although I don’t know why they did that).
Finally we changed our costumes and entered into the fall, it was awesome, we
played in the fall for a long time, and it was really fun. There were some pits
in the fall, so few friends fall in those and got hurt. I also fell in one but
was safe. Thanks to God. There was a foreign couple also in the fall, not to
mention it was not dressed as it should not be in India. In my thinking,
wherever we go, we should try to abide by their culture. Like I eat Dosa,
Kurma, Sambhar on daily basis in Tamil Nadu.
After some time fall authorities
came and said that its time to come out, I quickly got out avoiding cold
problem. After some time all others joined me. Then we visited downfall to get
the complete picture of the fall. It was amazing, marvelous, and awesome and
many other adjectives can be added to beauty of the fall.
When we were coming up, it made
us more than exhausted. We decided to have our dinner in some shahi place
called as Rajdhani. There were different opinions for the venue. In last it was
decided to go in any restaurant that’s available on time (no choice).We started
music in our cab and in few minutes, whole bus was rocking. Music was awesome,
friends were awesome, and all those factors made the whole bus ROCKING. All of
us were exhausted, still we were dancing like hell, and at least I was.
After few hours all settled on
their places, hungry….but we were not able to search any good restaurant, till
we reached Coimbatore. At the restaurant we all had good dinner. As soon as we
get on board, I gave the balance amount to driver. Now I showed complete
statement to all the members and said, if you want any clarification regarding
money, clear it now. They all believes me, that’s why from starting they gave
me the responsibility of money. I returned the balance amount to all my
friends. Then we dropped girls at their place and finally reached our place. I must say
it was an awesome trip, you can get this idea from pictures too.
