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

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.
