Water tanks in Guruvayur
Days were hot and humid and i could sight in Guruvayur a large number of water tanks going up and down East Nadar for those desiring to have drinking water. To beat the sultry surroundings those coming from outside used to take shower every time they returned to their lodge tower. Shower wasn't short of water and the town had immense potential for water that was not to be a drinking essential.
Mornings were either reserved for temple and if not that to take a good look at the railway station and who all were the occupants when you were in. First day saw me visit the station when the crowd had already evaporated. Next to the railway counter was Southern Railway Trivandrum Division Screen displaying ads and other information.. On its left side was a board of time table of trains going towards South. And on the right side was Guruvayur Train Timings and Ticket Charge. This was followed by Entrance for those desiring to enter the platform and exit the same without boarding the train which they did not deem fit . The Entrance/exit gate is followed by Combined Fruit and Tea Stall. And in clockwise comes the STD/ ISD booth and cloak room.
How operational were these facilities for passengers largely defined as daily commuters could only be gauged depending on the operational character of commuters to take trains for short distance which came for barely 4 as against the private buses coming for 20 roar.
Stepping outside the station are KTDC Nandanam, Kerala Hardware Stores, SBI ATM and childrens park.
Chavakkad beach could not be accessed this time round and i filled this with a visit to Elephant Sanctuary. Going up and down the East Nada road was therapeutic in the sense that no commotion or cavalcade could be seen and those wishing to go to the final point could do so wrapped in a dhoti and shawl. Going past shops selling ayurvedic items to those selling books and gifts, a strong brew was not hard to get if a request had been made to a joint even when some staff members were taking a food fest to be followed by compulsory rest.
Guruvayur was hot and humid; there were fewer who were hot headed and perhaps the Lord's Residence makes the entities on either side, East Nada and West Nada, blessed with a ring of sanctity. Vacation time or no vacation time, The Lord's followers would go up to him and depart from the town quite soon. But there would be a growing tribe that would look for long innings here and reside.
