Spacious Room In Guruvayur; Visiting Chavakkad Beach In Kerala State In South India

Having taken a spacious room in Krishna Kripa Tourist Home in East Nada in Guruvayur in Kerala State in South India, the sum advanced at the counter nearly aligned with neat and tidy proposition that some lodge invariably come with. Here some lodges/tourist homes come with neat landscape and that can win hearts. With the intent to stay longer looking implausible I often wondered why Thiruvanthapuram Rajdhani departure time from Thrissur had been pushed back by over three hours and doesn't Indian Railways understand the basic premise that changing train timing to odd hours can upset the schedule of commoners? The train timing changed one can barely fathom, what about train ticket and chances of gaining the same looking as receding as sighting of rains in some parts of country. Here in India the priority booking (Tatkal Ticket) is misnomer of sorts and here anyone looking for swift ride ends with eggs on his face.

The Ride To Chavakkad  Beach 

Friday was the day when I decided to visit Chavakkad beach and this I was doing almost after nine years. Visited the bus stand and the public transport left at 3.18 PM going past Chittilappily Tower bus stop, going past stores which have uncanny resemblance with shops across India. The ride is amidst thick banana plantation and here in this part of world banana sightings are common occurrence. Having reached Chavakkad take another bus from a spot which has in its vicinity Kottungal Shopping Complex and the ride to the beach is completed by 3.51. In the second bus there were fair number of Young Muslim Women joining the chorus and they were upbeat as there is amity among people with different religious backgrounds. Kerala is known to steal the show irrespective of caste, creed and colour. 

Getting To The Root Of Chavakkad

So much has changed in Chavakkad from 2016 when I was here. There are more shops and they make an appearance with an aim to gain income irrespective of turnout at the beach. The water looks discolored much to do with large number of tourists wading into the same and with vessels in good numbers one can sight parked next to the beach they are intended to be used for fishing. With vendors wishing to sell their wares the picture that takes shape is equivalent of any other beach in India where visitors have the urge to feel the depth of water. Here thoughts are on Meet In Davos and how its fortunes have all but swindled over the years. As I left the place with imaginary tales woven around beaches the nagging thought they be spared and kept clean may not be a tall order. Still the Chavakkad beach is comparatively less diluted and for miles one can sight water alone.

Meeting Some Students In Chavakkad 

Meet Mr Sarang Class 10 student and Mr Sinan all of them residing in Chavakkad. Mr Sinan told me that his father has employees who go for fishing and one hopes they get at regular intervals weather updates. Weather updates are essential in a nation like India as fishing is one profession that can have shaky balance if weather has unforeseen twist. What to talk of twist in the ocean the undiluted and blistering heat in place like Delhi is to do with global warming and more the air conditioners and other machines run, cars navigate and flights take to sky, the heat is all feared to reach crescendo.  

SREE NAGAYAGSHI TEMPLE is in Chavakkad. And so are some visible mosques. Meet Mr Agnal Accountant working in Thrissur and perhaps the office would be in Thrissur Round the most frequented quarter in this city. The Thrissur Roundabout abutting Guruvayur and this is one place the traffic temperament is subdued and be it Hindu, Christian or Muslim they share a bonhomie that entire nation would crave for.
