Beach Beach Beach


Last trip of training was a blast. All planning was cancelled, we had nothing in our mind till Friday night and suddenly on Saturday morning, we decided to visit Chavakkad Beach. We left our hostel at 4pm. Picked girls from their hostel, now we had 4 couples with us and rest singles, in all 14 were there. We reached Kerala late and booked a hotel (a luxurious one) after exploring 5. Now we were heading towards a restaurant, en the route some stranger might have touched one girl of our group, she reached restaurant and created a big scene there. She blamed her partner for all the mess, he apologized for the mistake and even did sit ups. But girl was not ready to accept any apology, now boy turned red and went out without dinner. Four went after him, First I thought I should also wait for the air to settle, but then I got the picture, that all this is just a drama and I should better be concentrating on matar paneer. I had dinner, and then I tried to cool down the girl and gave her a frank advice “you should have your diner; boy must have had dinner outside”. But she won’t understand, well whole dinner was spoiled because of this couple, finally boy returned and we all headed back to our hostel.

After all this, we all decided to visit Beach after midnight, but hotel owner stopped us and gave clear instructions that police will catch us and its not safe to roam in that area and that too with girls is not at all safe. So we started watching movie. After some time one friend came in our room and asked is anyone coming for night walk at 1pm. I whispered “They are going Beach” in one friend ear, she said “No they are not”. I said Let us see. HIT, I also joined night walk, soon after getting out we planned to visit beach, I opened mobile navigator and got the route. We were following map, but there was a turn in the map at a point, so we thought we should ask the security guard standing in a shop.

Well at first look, he didn’t seem like a real sec guard, he was more like a zombie. He was actually walking in sleep. It was the only second; he woke up when I confirmed the route to beach. The route he told us was actually after passing Police Station, in order to avoid the problems we had to change our route and follow the route as given in navigator. Storm came….after walking a certain distance, a Police van came towards us, we stopped, and they stopped, and started questioning us. We told them innocently that, we are tourists and we didn’t know that it is not at all safe roaming there at 3am. First they were slightly strict and then they become soft, they showed us beach and after that dropped us at a safe point. They also asked us if we would like to have a rickshaw. We also took few pictures with them.

We reached our hotel and had a little chit-chat, while in that chat; one friend sat on a glass table and broke it. Then we finally went to sleep, so as to avoid any more damage. Ab aap bhi sojaaao, iske aage ka kal subah padhna….Gud Night 
Going Ahead

Kodaikanal


I was watching a movie in my room. Enjoying the weekend on Saturday night 10 pm. suddenly a friend called me and asked “would you like to come on a trip to Kodaikanal now”. I asked “right now!!!” he said “yes right now, may be after after 2 hours”. I thought for a second, that’s it’s a cool place and I would never get second chance to visit it. I said “yes, why not??”
Just after an hour girls came to our hostel, without taking permission from their hostel. Its not allowed at 11 o clock, to take any permission. So they just fooled the security guard and came out running to our hostel. I must say they have guts to do such task. Well visitors are not allowed to go upstairs in our hostel, so they stayed at reception, till our Bus came. 


Wow, whaaat a bus it was, we were 8 students and bus was 20 seater. I just thought, wats goin on yaar. We left our hostel at 12 o clock. We plugged our pen drive in the bus and soon after some time, bus turned into Disco theque. All of us were dancing like hell, what I felt there was out of the world. I also had some low feelings in my mind, since I was missing my old friend(s). Still I managed to dance with all the energy I had.
After some time we stopped at a temple. The check post of kodaikanal opens at 5 am, so we had no other option to stop at some place, we chose that temple. It was 3 am, no one was feeling sleepy, so we thought to roam around temple for some time. We were walking in night at 3 am in a totally new place. It was all really fun, not to mention missing part.
We reached our bus after round, and decided to sleep for some time. But all wanted to sleep in jungle near check post, so we took our bus there. All of us were sleeping except two; others were talking whole night on the roof of our bus in the moonlight, kinds Romantic!

 Finally we reached Kodaikanal, checked in a hotel. The temperature was 12 degree Celsius, so you can imagine how cool the climate was. It was totally different environment round the scene, it was awesome. Soon we got ready in not so hot water.

We were hungry now, I mean really hungry, so we went to a restaurant named Rasoi. Owner was a Punjabi aunty, who knew to talk only in rude manner, but the items made by her were delicious. We all ate a lot, the bill was around 1700 for 8 students. After that we visited a forest like area, where we were actually walking in between clouds. The whole nature was looking like a movie set. Forest, trees mountains and to add sugar to that, we had clouds everywhere around us. Then we visited one more place, it was also cool. Most funny part of this place was a monkey climbed over a friend, to get corn from her hand. She gave him immediately; I heard that news in a minute and hid my corn in back pocket. When I was busy In taking pics, one monkey came towards me, since he saw my back pocket, I just hid myself for a second and another second re appeared, now the monkey became confused. That was comedy part of the trip. Now the girls proved themselves and started shopping, I had to push them after regular intervals so that they keep on moving.
After watching this one point, we headed back to Coimbatore. I was bit tired so I slept in the return journey. In Coimbatore we had dinner and finally came back to our hostel.
