Kerala: Gods Own Country

Mom Dad

Kerala is also known as Gods own country and I had an opportunity to show this beautiful green place to my parents. Mom, Dad always wanted to visit Chennai and have a look at the place where I am staying and if anything good nearby. I thought its best to go for Kerala instead showing few time pass locations in TN Kerala has a lot of things to offer in addition to greenery. I applied for leaves in my company and fortunately everything was settled up, again there is always one reason for things to turn your side or otherwise. Next day, parents booked one way flight ticket and I booked train tickets from here, else it would have been very costly.

Kathakkali

Finally the day arrived and mom dad came to Chennai, we booked a cab from airport to my room. We had a special dinner not just because they brought different types of pickles, sweets and namkeen but because they were here, the very first time. Soon we headed for railway station to catch our train for Aluva (Kerala). It’s the nearest station to Munnar (a Hill station). We had our cab booked in advance to pick us up from Aluva, so that we don’t have to waste any time after reaching there in looking for cab.

Different expressions in Kathakkali

Journey from Aluva to Munnar is full of greenery. We stopped at few places on the way to had lunch and side scenery. For a traveler like me, it was not much but still worth watching. There were two waterfalls on the way, they provided quite a view, one side waterfall from mountain and valley on the other end-perfect place to hangout.

Later in the evening we stopped for a cultural dance known as Katthakkali, it was quite good. There were clouds entering from the roof side and Kathakkali was being performed on the stage, at one point of time you may feel like, you are on seventh cloud. That’s the beauty of nature and hill station. In addition to it, there was Martial arts the old fighting thing, it was awesome, and they were showing fight as if they were actually fighting-awesome. Both the shows were bit costly but a must watch, also note that the shows are performed at 5 P.M. So be there at the right time.

Martial Arts

We were quite exhausted and planned to go for sleep. As it was drizzling and I was with my parents, I also slipped in bed else I would have gone out to enjoy the cold breeze that the nature has to offer. That we can enjoy now, now is the time to enjoy. This time is never gonna come back, do whatever you have to do today, else you will never be able to do it. Remember tomorrow never comes.

Enjoyyyyyy your life to the fullest.
