Alappy, really gods own place in kerala

We reached alappy (a.k.a allappuzha) at 3:00pm. My friend rakesh arranged a boat trip for us. I met a person sumesh(rakesh's friend) for the boat ride. He helped alot for the boat trip.



He arranged a small boat for us. Rakesh's father also came there to see whether everything is fine or not. I felt very happy with the hospitality and recieving.



The boats will return at 6:30pm because of the fishermans will start fishing. So we took a boat for 3 hours.



The locations in alappy were excellent. That place is called backwaters. An excellent place in kerala. The place is like small islands(contains a home or two) connected with a small walkable way.



I wondered that kerala government provided electricity, cable TV, telephone connections to all the homes in backwaters. I saw some schools, temples and hospitals in between the houses. Its really amazing.



We enjoyed boating till 6:30. We went to beach. The beach is too good. As we never got a chance to enjoy in the beach(becoz, there is no sea near to my home town), we enjoyed it a lot. Beach maintainance is too good. The water in the beach also clean. We spent 2 hours in the beach.



Then we came back to city, had dinner and started to trivendrum.



Alappy to trivendrum is 4 hours journey. There are many buses but because of the summer season all the buses were full. We got a bus at 12:00 and started to trivendrum.

One day in guruvayoor

I went to guruvayoor with my parents from our campus. It takes 4 hours journey from calicut. We reached there at 6:30 pm.



We took a lodge to get freshed and went to temple at 7:30. Many pilgrims rushed into the temple becoz of summer holidays. The line was very big and a police man said that darshanam is almost impossible that day night. So we returned to our room to take dinner. After the dinner, we went to temple again to see some dance programs in the auditorium connected to temple. We enjoyed it.



There is a pooja in guruvayoor temple with elephants. They will light all the oil lamps in the temple (around 5000 oil lamps are there). One elephant will hold the gods idol and two more elephants will follow the elephant. The pooja is very nice and the temple looks extrordinary with oil lamps.



We went to lodge and came back to the temple in the morning for darshan. We went to the temple at 5'o clock in the morning. Even that time also the temple is with large croud and there was a pooja going on for new poojari. So they were allowing pilgrims five mminutes in every 30 minutes for darshan. So it took so much of time for darshan. We came out of the temple at 9:00am.



We had tiffen and started to alappy.

My Parents in NITC

My parents were thinking about visiting our campus from many days. Finally, they came on 1st may.



My parents came to bangalore. I went to bangalore and we had a trip to mysore on the next day. The tour was very nice. We visited srirangapatnam, mysore maharaja palace, chamundeshwari temple, the big nandi and finally brindavan garden.



We started in mysore at night 12:00 clock. We reached our campus at 5:30 in the morning. I took a guest room in our hostel for my parents. Gurudatha's parents also came to campus. My parents met with guru's parents and we went to canteen to have tiffen. We had some photos with our parents in campus.



Gurudatha and his parents were going to guruvayoor. So they left to calicut after taking tiffen.



I showed all the places in my campus to my parents. They enjoyed our campus atmosphere. As the summer heat is less compared to karimnagar, they felt a bit relaxed.



I took my parents to my lab and our department. Unfortunately, it was a holiday, so no faculty were on the campus. My guide is also in vacations. My parents felt a bit disappointed with this.



We were in our hostel till after noon 2'o clock. They enjoyed our campus and hostel life.
