Welcome you all to munnar trip.
Left our office at 3pm for 4:15pm train to Ernakulam. As usual my team-mate office late comer, Dinesh was late to the station too :-) . Totally 27 were there in the trip apart from Digibee friends, friends of Barani, Athreya and brother of Dhanasekaran joined us. I don't know if its a tradition of all the college and others trips start with Anthakshari, we did with the same. And there will be a funny entertainer for a trip, he was none other than Mr.Balaiya(Karthik Balan). He had been the biggest comedian thoroughout the trip, his character was quite similiar to Tamil movie comedian Vadivelu. He was the total source of all our entertainment throughout the trip. Another interesting fellow is our Thopi kumaru, who falls into his own trap. ok, I will tell you one Thopi kumaru marked jokes. Four of my collegues were walking down the lane, near cochin harbour and Thopi kumar was walking in the front. A smart and fair guy approached Thopi kumar and said "Hello sir, I am from Tata indicom" and he continued... Thopi kumar interrupted him suddenly and said "Sorry sir, I dont know malyalam". lol. There's a DVD player joke of his too. ;)
When we reached Ernakulam it was 3pm approximately, there was rain to welcome us. I never been to kerala, it was my first time. There was a chill air around and just out side the station there was beautiful huge tree, i guess its a baniyan tree, which was really huge. All our eyes were rolling around to find elimpse of beautiful mallu girls. We found one in station booking counter... he he.. cute face.. :) I knew, we all are going to have a great time in beautiful kerala.. :-) A bus was already arranged for us by Rahul, which is gonna take us to all the places in Munnar for the next two days. It was early morning around 5am, I could barely see the houses and trees outside with street lights. Each and every house had so much trees and plants around, unlike my chennai city. They are generous to give space to nature and take 25% for them in their land. They love nature and conserve them. I found even some compound walls had some plants growing over them. Roughly around 6:45am I was able to get a clear picture of the beautiful world, it was green, green and green everywhere. Just couldn't see any other colour. My love towards green took a peak. Most attractive part about Munnar, which is still in my eyes is the foot stairs that i found in houses. Foot stairs were grey in colour, covered with a very very thin layer of green plants growing over them. The blend of grey and green was so attractive, it gave an aritistic look infront of many houses and churches.
Around 8am in the morning the bus stopped and we saw a waterfall. It was beautiful to look at and felt that it can be even lovely to feel them. I wanted to play in that, and I had no concerns to about my tshirt and pant getting wet, well anyway its good to take a bath early morning he~he~. I called up my friend Barani and asked him whether he likes to play in the waterfall too. He loved too. We both climbed up some rocks, slowly moved near the water fall, took our hands forward and collected water in our hands. Then we slowly moved forward and in few seconds all our clothes got completely wet. It was funny and crazy. Later some of my other colleagues joined too Rahul, Deepak, Karthik Mohan, Murali, Thopi kumar, Balaiya, Aravind, Adithiya, Vinoth kumar and Ayyapa. Then we all came down and took some snaps. I wanted some more play in the waterfall again so I called up my buddy again. Asked him for once more. Again we went, played in the falls and at a point we both started shevering, i loved shevering too :-) . Because I know it's very rare feeling, which wont happen in Chennai. We moved down and some more photo sessions was happening. We had to stay in the same wet cloth for another 3 hours, till we reached our room in Munnar.
Rahul on the Right extreme... Special thanks to you dude. :-)
We found many waterfalls and water flowing over through the rocks. Amazing site to watch, with beautiful mountain top covered with tea estates. Fog kissing the mountain tops. There wasn't a patch of soil, which is visible, because there will some plant covering it up. The newly grown leaves gave the most attractive light green. And the rain gives a pure look by washing it up daily, finishing touch given by The Master himself.
The Green Lake
In the Bus, Balaiya and Barani started dancing. We had a good music system in the bus, which gave more fun. Both Balaiya and Barani are excellent natural dancers, full of expressions and good singers too. I always wanted to dance but i never did cause I thought that I would look stupid if i do my stupid steps. I had the chance to knock my fever and shyness down and go crazy. I stood infront of Balaiya, I was damn nervous to be there, then i did wat ever steps Balaiya and Barani were doing. I learned a lot from them, their beautiful expressions, liveliness. Everything in them touched me. Day 1 dancing was imitating them. Day 2, I started creating my own funny steps, since there was no girls in the bus we should pair up with other guys and dance for duet songs. We pulled almost everyone to dance, though many resisted at the start, become lively and started joining their own dance. Most our time in the bus went in dancing and shouting at the buses crossing us( if the bus crossing had some girls in it our decibels will increase further more ha ha ha). Athreya was capturing video throughout the trip while deepak, Karthik, Ravi kiran, Rahul were capturing pictures. All their work had helped to capture our happiness in a digital form, which would stay forever with our pleasant memories of them.
Blend of Organic and Digital memory he~he~............
Begging for Wat? he~he~
Return
Throughout the trip, we got a company of a humble lover, who is the soul reason for the beautiful Munnar. Her touch was so gentle, like a feather touching my body. In Munnar, she takes a pleasant form, she wont pour heavily on u. But she will have a constant drizzle, which is gentle and giving you the joy of thousand kisses. :-)))) If she pours heavily, dont mistake, she is happy meeting you and thats her way of hugging you. he~he~
Rain Rain, come again...
urs Crazy
