My recent visit to Godz Own Country-Part 2

De coffee wasn't tht bad enough..itz only de fact that I compared it to my mom's preparation...thtz not fair at all.. poor vendor ...Shornur has something special in itself...Itz a corridor to de Konkan Railway.... de most beautiful one after Darjeeling n Ooty rails...Oh why I am going back to Konkan I have left it long before in de night.. I will see it again only after 13 days..so stop thinking about that I said to myself... de train passed de bridge over Bharathapuzha...no water left in it...only piles of sand...I was only 4 n half hrs away from my home.. this time duration felt so long even though de last 24 hrs of my travel passed like anything...

Wadakancheri went along, no stoppage for this train there, good god it saved almost 10 minutes of time ..then next was de Cultural capital of Kerala ---Thrissur. I remember this place..I used to come here frequently to visit Abi n Mithun..now all that visits were distant memories...
Chalakudi, Angamaali both were main stations but train doesn't have any stoppage there...it slowed down as it neared Aluva...now Alappuzha (popularly known as de Venice of de East) is just 2 hrs away..itz almost 1.45 PM..didn't had my lunch..waiting to get home to have something from mama..enough of outside food...

Watching those backwaters...itz so beautiful n simple....really de Nature God has given a lot to Kerala to be called as God's own country... I admire de simplicity in beauty or vice versa... Kerala has lot of such places... people from all sorts of life come here n enjoy what mother nature has designed to perfection... wow can I live here??? oh what am I thinking?? is it possible?? noway.. I closed my eyes n thought about my home...and I had no more complaints...

Itz almost 4.05 pm de expected time to reach my place.. I leaned thru de door once again ... itz Harippad ,I am going to alight here after this long journey... searched for a familiar face on de platform... brother told me he will be there to receive me... so looked again n again... there he is... raised his hands .. he has changed, his long hairs gone.. with beard n mustache he suddenly seemed to be a big person.. de train screeched to an halt.. I stepped on this station after a long time... last time I came to this station was in April last year.. a complete year haven't passed at all..but I missed my place as if I hadnt come here for last 10 years.. ya this is de affect of de fast life I was living there in Mumbai... this places seems to be decade old...

He carried my bag in his as usual Delhi style as if ther's nothing in that... I knocked him on the head n said "baba b careful..it has lot of things tht will break if it falls"..he gave me nasty luk n asked me "When is ur leave going to be over"???wow what a simple way to ask when r u going bak... I have always been a fan of his humour sense. A frequent question tht I have faced all my life... as we were not living in Kerala..we used to come here only during vacations for 1 month or 2... so relatives always asked us when we are returning... dunno exactly wht they meant by tht question.. I told him i am leaving only when he wants me to leave... I know he will never want me to leave.. I said tht way coz I know he is also going to Delhi de next day when I start back..

"Will u go to Kaatimukku??" I asked the auto driver.. he nodded and we were in it in a moment.. "I am dying from hunger please make it quick" I said to de driver.. he nodded again but he made it sure I gotto know about all de potholes on de road... I didnt say a word coz all I was thinking about my home n its surroundings... if I was going to office in de same way it was cent percent sure tht I would have a mouthful of bad words for de auto driver... There she is , waiting at de doorstep.. my mama... before she cud ask anything.. I yelled I am hungry..give me something to eat.. poor mama she rushed to kitchen and got all tht she prepared for me.. she knew tht I will not eat this afternoon so was well prepared for my appetite..Coconut Chatni, Bittergroud fried, Pappad .. de things I luved was before me in a second.. I finished my lunch @ 5 pm..what a time to have lunch... na na itz my home n here rules are mine...

I went straight to my room... ther's a wallpaper on the wall with "This is my room Luv it or Leave it" written on it...when i saw things arranged in there.. I whispered mama always luved my room...I had a long bath after a long tiresome journey... felt a lot of energy still left inside me... lot of relatives came along to see me..enquiring things..lot of concerns..wah I thought wht will they ask after one week....
the first day of vacation @ home is always special....itz always special ..I felt it!!!!!
