Time at Parunthumpara,and the hard fought lunch



The idea of this trip rose in my mind when Sujitha invited all to her sister's marriage at Pambanar, a place located at high altitude in the ghat road to Kumali on NH 220,near to Peerumedu and more importantly, near to Parunthumpara which is a famous tourist spot... I was one of the last person invited for the marriage since she didnt get me on phone and i was confused whether to missed call back seeing her missed call since i knew she called to invite....

I think of writing the trip elaborately since i feel this is the last chance to elaborate on any trip of S8. and also because the sadness of not able to write on Cherthala trip still lingers in my mind...

I had to put a little extra effort to get permission to take the car with friends to the hilly areas. Alike last time, this time the trip was preplanned. so we had enough and more strength in my WagonR to have a non-lossy trip.... We had decided to start at 6:45 from Nedumkuzhy..

We includes I myself,Neeraj,Midhun,Nibin(Tech),Aswin and Shown.The team was made 6 foreseeing the extra space available in the dicky which was made into good use by Midhun last time around.. Since it was Sunday, I decided on Saturday to go for 5:15 am holymass the next day though i had a late sleep at 1:30 am after a very good conference call with Kutty and Neeraj..

Finally the Sunday came and it had a perfect start at 5:10am.. I entered my car and drove about 300m just to realizze myself that the front tyre was punctured... Such a fine start to such a foreseen trip.... I had no other way other than to change the tyre.. Having changed the tyre, I went for holymass.. I managed to arrange a stepny tyre for my car from a relative who had come for holymass..

So i started from Pala at 6:30am with Sherin and Jose who had to be dropped at college.. And the team was formed at Pampady with just Midhun left to join us.. he too joined us at 14th mile.. So the tightly packed wagonrR drove towards the destination.. Passing through Ponkunnam, Kanjirapally and Mundakayam,we started to move up the ghat roads.... It was soon after we started the uphill journey, Midhun showed the sensation to vomit which was almost unexpected.. So we had an unexpected halt... We didnt have our breakfast yet.. So we bought biscuits to calm our hunger.... There was yet another stop at Peerumedu for the same purpose.

We thought of visiting Thekkady, then thought of first going to go to Paruthumpara which is a famous tourist spot.. When i spelled Parunthumpara, Nibin just heard 'P' and started enquiring if we r heading to Poochaakkal.. He just knew one place starting with P and it was that.. Searching for last 3 yrs, but not yet discovered.. Anyway We reached there in a clear and pleasant environment.. It was then a police jeep came there.... It was followed by another and almost five other jeeps and police bus.. Midhun was too tired and was sitting in there calmly and we went for a walk.. The climate now had changed.. It was too foggy and the viewing distance had become too short and everything was covered in snow...When the fog cleared for a while, we saw Midhun surrounded by three policemen.. They might have thought he is another Kasab with "naaranga bomb"(he held a lemon to smell to avoid vomiting) in his hand.. Or might have thought he started vomiting after getting drink right in the early morning.. Anyway we went to him and enquired wat the policemen enquired and found nothing was wrong.. We 5 again went for a walk.. Then we found a rocky place just at a distance and required little more effort to reach. So we went there.. we took photos in almost every angle.. Like the tech said,, 30 degree inclined and 30+30 degree inclined etc...Except tech, the others had almost lost half or full breath by the time we reached back.. We almost suffocated and pained our throat and chest since we had a very hard running to conquer a tree which we later realized was just a guava..It was almost 10:45 by the time and we drove back to the actual destination, the auditorium at New Pambanar...



Our friends (23 others) had already reached there. We reached just in time to reach the "Thaalikettu".. It was over .. Then came the ever-memorable fight for a seat to have food... We were too hungry that we tried our best to steal a seat...Despite our effort to copy the strategy employed by the people there to get a seat, our attempt to get a seat in the first trip failed miserably..It seemed as if the people who managed a seat in the first trip had brought chairs from their homes... Anyway I managed or really fought and got a seat in the second trip.. There were still our friends who couldnt manage one .. I couldnt divert my attention to anything since i was too hungry.. We had a nice lunch and it was then the time for the next character "Pambanar Rajeev/Raju" to enter the scene.. Devi knows who he is.. I am not mentioning more on him.....

We then left to Alex's uncles house through a way which he told is the shortest possible, but infact made us feel,was the longest possible... We reached there, had coffee sessions, photo sessions etc.. i donno why Purushu's nature is identified correctly by all. The aunty there told Purushu to take the snacks and not to take away the plates in which snacks were served..



Then all moved to parunthumpara in an auto and our car..The no inside the car now increased to 8 which included Achu and Jismy.. We 8 had a short but mind pleasing visit to the most famous pilgrim centre, the church of Pattumala Velankanni Matha. Then we too went to Parunthumpara.. All had an hour of enjoyment, photo shoots and pleasant walks in the cool climate there.. We started back at 3:30pm.. The auto ride back from Paruthumpara will be there in the minds of atleast one person....


The WagonR was most tightly or infact saturated to its maximum COMFORTABLE capacity (8) with the dicky space also efficiently utilised by Midhun.. Sherin had Achu in her lap and Aswin had Shown in his lap.. We had another unexpected stop on our way.. This time too, the reason was Midhun who again went for a vomiting.. This time he made the situation worse since he couldnt put his head out since he was placed inside the dicky. So despite having two BIG girls in our team, I had to clean up the car dicky and the headrests..... after this halt, the positions were changed.. Aswin got the safest and most relaxed seating in the car after the driver's seat, thats the dicky.... We then halted at Mundakayam and had a dosai and coffee..

The group was divided at Ponkunnam when neeraj,nibin,shown and aswin went to hostel and we others came to pala. midhun was too tired that he was here in my home at night..

Thus came an end to an memorable trip with lots to remember and cherish...... The day is gone and now i sit back and write this today recollecting all the beauty of the tripwithout studying not even half a module for thursdays exam.. Now like all others, I too have to get back to my studies.......

The Day on Conference

My previous post raised numerous questions and speculations in the minds of my innumerable(just expecting) readers... Every reader made a picture of the person i pointed out in the post.. Each one put his/her own face and compared to see if it fits.. Some assumed certain answers.. Yet quite a few knew whom i intended to mention.....
Finally that person was also told of it by us during the conference calls at mid night which was infact made to wish happy birthday to one of our friends.. After she reading it, we had a discussion on it... The different points raised by her were that she is not confident enough to explain things to me...Girls study a lot, but not perfectly.. Boys study little, but perfectly and thoroughly.. But i donno how gals score marks if at all they study vaguely touching every portion..I am sure kutty who was at one end of the telephone surely agreed with me.. And she too agreed on one thing. The studious gals never agree about the amount they studied.... They always tell they studied little... Anyway the cloud cover was almost washed away. or i had to tell that i had no problem since the gal was having feelings abt wat i mentioned... But she kept enquiring if it was meant of her alone, or my finger pointed to many.. She went to sleep at about 2am believing there are quite a few against whom i pointed my finger.... Anyway my talk with kutty continued till 2:30am...

Yesterday was a day which was spent wholly on conference calls..... started just after i had an early woke up at 9 am.. and it ended by about 2:30am......

Still a question remains-- Why the studious girls dont tell the truth about their studies????


My dear readers, dont think i am never opposed to girls and their study habits... And i stop this controversial subject here not to worsen the relation with my friends

The Continuing Study Leave

Today i got the first comment about my blog... So thought of scribbling and updating it as often as possible.. As the comment says, I donno how far i can continue blogging with the same spirit and enthusiasm and moreover keeping the standard like my dear friend mentioned...

These are just diary entries for the day.. I am enjoying my study leave at home after spending a week of study leave at college studying much and thus got tired.... I was able to understand or atleast had to rethink of my studies at college last week.. I doubt if the studious gals are little selfish.. not all but many . . . I went to college everyday with the atmost desire to read text, teach to others and thus remember things.. But there was hardly a few to do the same back to me... Last day, when i accidentally found someone just pouring out knowledge about a subject at the most inappropriate time, such a thot came to my mind -" are the studious gals selfish?" . . None called me any day telling they will teach me since they studied this, that etc... On the other hand,, they called just asking wat i studied so that they can hear from me...... Will knowledge decrease when shared with others?? I never knew dat..... I wrote this not with the intension of hurting the feelings of anyone.. I also have a strange experience of some phone calls which happen only in the exam season asking some doubts or something related to studies........

Today i along with Dinu went for a movie "Kadha Thudarunnu" by Satyan Anthikkadu.. A very ordinary movie with no element of suspense,stunts,actions,horror or anything..Just a movie which consumes about 2 1/4 hours.. A good movie with no bad points to tell, at the same time, nothing great to be pointed out as far as i felt. Just a story.. But i didnt feel bored alike the other movie "" paappi appacha" which really was too boring ..

My first scribble

Finally i too own a blog........ Its after a long week of thoughts and discussions with my close friend that i was able to finalise my blog.. One might think y i shud ask friend abt my blog. I am always like dat. I like to get the opinion and suggestions of my close ones in most of the matters except __________. Truly speaking the name was finalised after a long discussion with many..

My friend advised me never to talk more about the blog of others more than yours. Its like telling others about somebody else's wife more than yours.. Still, I could not avoid telling the cause of my desire to start blogging... really, as the readers(if any) might know, i am a long tongued person.. so why i cant write things?? and when i read the blogs of my close friends, i too felt to scrap something.. just because it was really funny and good reading those blogs.. but i dont kno if i will be able to match dem and make others feel the same with my blog... anyway atleast i can use this opportunity to write something in english.. isnt?? but i request u to read my wonderful and tell good abt it atleast to encourage me to write..

I donno if someone else will ever read these things unless i myself ask someone to read it.. My blog is still in its infancy.. So it will take time for me to settle in and study the art of blogging.. I donno wat all to blog since i have a wide range of topics.. I wish to blog on everything that catches my eye and mind.. But wat if none reads wat i write?? Most great works go unnoticed.. That is my consolation
