Leaving Kanniyakumari For Madurai In South India

Leaving Kanniyakumari For Madurai In South India

Having spoken to Mr Natraj of Township Lodge In Kanniyakumari Road, the one where I had made inquiries way back in 2016, I expressed readiness to stay here when I come to Kanniyakumari next time when spring would be giant. Here in this part of world hot days are all omnipotent with winters never ever having arrived and if it has to do so it would have to pitch a reliable tent. Mr Natraj looked to be affable and down to earth and interactions with him taking away all worries about getting in Bhopal bound train upper berth. Mr Natraj, The Lodgeman, practical and realistic, hoping to have admirers who have disdain to amass plastic. As I left Kanniyakumari on a Sunday, with Mr Michael at the helm, the auto took almost 30 minutes to reach Nagercoil Junction (12.30 PM). As I took a seat on Platform 1, with Vasantham Catering in this very Platform where no one is plump, the series of announcements for different set of trains illustrate railways, the sector, cater to wide section of audience and here noteworthy authorities would be women and gents. Thiruvanthapuram-Kollam-Punalur train leaves from Platform 2 which is yet to have a date with an audience that is thrilled by anecdotes relayed by cabin crew.

Train From Nagercoil Junction To Madurai Leaves From Platform One

The train to Madurai leaves from Platform One, and I not comfortable carrying two set of luggage, which I can't place on rack and most pleasing part it is not carrying a plane tag. After 2.30 there are spate of wind plants, perhaps notifying the drive towards clean energy.  And here States Of Tamil Nadu And Karnataka have taken a lead and other provinces have to follow suit and take the gains of wind plant fleet fruit. After 2.40 the patch of land almost akin to Ajmer-Jaipur rail route section, and here noteworthy would be series of suggestions. Perhaps the drip irrigation system would turn the land fertile and here menfolk would have to be agile. 

Reaching New College House In Madurai; Visiting Goddess Meenakshi Temple

With TTE Mr David at the helm, I seeking a window seat, and he suggests No 70, where none can get haughty. Tirunelveli comes at 3.12, and here the set of passengers who board include the ones who have been allotted 70 and beyond, and I returning to my previous seat 44 which perhaps some day would have travellers from Kalimpong (West Bengal State). Spate of wind power plants after 3.30 as well and Kovilpatti coming at 4 and here electoral bonds of past with no degree of hesitation got its share of attention and furore. Electoral bonds underscored that poll malpractices were the reigning tribe, and to get to power corridor, one has to have parallel interactions with business groups which are of immense size. Having reached Madurai at 5, I longed to be at New College House located at 2, Town Hall Road where visitors do come from Tamil Nadu's Erode. Having taken a room on second floor, I left the room soon to be with Goddess Meenakshi Temple where the rush was palpable. Finding the long winding queue, I decided to get in the paid section which I left to get back in the general queue which holds handsome lessons for rail crew. The sanctum sanctorum was out of bounds for disciples of Goddess Meenakshi and what ever little sections of Temple I visited it was more than sufficient for me as I was visiting this sacred space having paid no fee. The Temple To Date Is Humongous And Goddess Meenakshi dropping hints that another day, another visit I would have to undertake despite rail fare carrying innumerable digit, having essentially taken the GST Nugget. This visit to Goddess Meenakshi Temple was the sum total of faith I have in her and she is the one to turn to when long winding innings of life unfurl.

Reaching Madurai Station To Catch Another Train

After the visit, I made a dash to Anna Meenakshi New College House Restaurant and here the grub was something to pore over and kept me overjoyed despite I not carrying phone Android. For black tea, one had to venture to Sree Vari Bhavan where the staff was courteous and fun. Jigarthanda (Traditional Drink) outlet too I visited for having something sweet, and here Mr Abdullah had a long list of beverage to flaunt, and this was a big feast inviting no taunt. Later I retired to my room and at 1.50 AM left for Madurai Railway Station to catch a train to Bengaluru where there are followers of Group Eenadu.

Kanniyakumari In Tamil Nadu State In South India Would Continue To Draw Tourists In Droves

Kanniyakumari In Tamil Nadu State In South India Would Continue To Draw Tourists In Droves

Having stayed with no intention to stage a play in Kanniyakumari, it were Mr Rajan and Mr Subramaniyam of Raja Palace whom I largely interacted with and this duo having the necessary lodge permit-cum-kit. Lodge kit to know who would be spending night in the lodge and who would be attached to the day desk when smiles are broad.  Kanniyakumari is enchanting for people across world and here Rajan-Subramaniyam duo see to it that during tourists stay with ease they get in and get out of structured play. Both told me in advance the room tariff would see a hike if I intended to stay beyond Saturday as weekend is the rush hour when tourists come from all over India to pen thoughts on their elusive essays. 

Essays Could Well Be About Madagascar To Cameroon

Essays could well be about the sabbatical they have taken and almost nearing a month, and they establishing contacts with followers of Irish politico Mr Mark Durkan. Essays could well be about upheaval in Madagascar to Cameroon and here some need to step aside to let new figure arrive. While Madagascar, which is in East Africa, and here military holding the reigns, and to say so elections would take place in two years would keep Capital Antananaarivo and roundabout tense. As for world's oldest President Mr Paul Biya in Cameroon (Central Africa), who is locked in a fierce electoral contest with Mr Tchiroma Bakary, with the latter asking Mr Biya to concede, and in the backdrop of Constitutional Council taking two weeks to declare who has taken the poll heat, with some suggesting this session of suspense no one can hail and greet. 

Essays Could Well Be About Bengali Travellers

Essays on these two nation states in Africa could well be delved into, equally enticing would be the subject of West Bengal State residents visiting every nook and corner of India when holidays triumph, and from cities and towns which are no less giant. This is as well true for Kanniyakumari, which 10 months ago, was declared municipality as pointed out by Branch Manager Mr Ahmed of Canara Bank, and among public sector banks, this bank has a good ranking and won't tank. Having taken the honour of municipality, more Bengalis would be keen to visit this spot and stay in lodges which may not necessarily be tied in knots. Mind you, Bongs ( Bengalis) would be visiting shores as distant as Rameswaram and Kanniyakumari notwithstanding the inclement weather, and on occasions coming across irking guide and tutor.

From Sea View Restaurant To Chitra Cafeteria

Coming to Kanniyakumari stay, the best cuisine among others was offered by Sea View Restaurant In East Car Street with a gentlemanly and well mannered disposition the staff having and entire establishment thriving. The Sea View Restaurant Delicacies for one aren't that hard on pockets, and with a buffet that is humongous, and those savouring the same have over the years been well briefed on conquests of Khan whose first name was Genghis. As for the art of getting more footfall, the Chitra Restaurant In Vivekananda Kendra has fewer parallels with no word yet on the timing of sea trials. As for Sunday, the day I am supposed to leave Kanniyakumari, I get hold of a rail ticket and on a voyage to Kanniyakumari Temple for the third time with an understanding that Goddess Kanniyakumari would call me with surroundings and weather looking fine. Once inside the temple, I let the word spread that I have to catch a train and here ardent devotees make way for me as from Nagercoil Junction would begin the much-awaited journey.  

Three Prominent Places That Were On My Itinerary

This was the Kanniyakumari visit coming in the backdrop of I wishing to keep date with three prominent places, namely, Rameswaram, Kanniyakumari  and Madurai, and this expedition had so far been fair and good and none of the chapters could be slammed crude. This Kanniyakumari trek brought to the focus the umpteen tourism potential the State Of Tamil Nadu has, and this could well be taken into stride by those who have a voice that is primarily bass. Let Kanniyakumari repose faith in a mandate that though Hindus, Christians and Muslims raise the template of oneness, and time and again it would open doors to ideas that promote harmony, given the life journey that is on a pedestal as equal and befitting as a tennis tourney.

By the time I finished the grub from Chitra Restaurant, it was well past 11.30 and I taking an auto with Mr Michael at the helm to Nagercoil Junction which invites trains from disparate sections.

Accessing Kanniyakumari And Visiting East Car Street As Well

Accessing Kanniyakumari And Visiting East Car Street As Well

Having reached Kanniyakumari, it was time to figure out the location where Raja Palace lodge stood, the one where I had shown interest to stay way back in 2013, a year when India had shown the intent to get FDI more than 10 billion dollars in months as small as 18.  As for the FDI flow in recent years, few have the handy tips and fewer know if there are any blips. FDI chums can be traced with little effort and they won't look withdrawn if they arrive to the said destination in a vehicle that can convert. FDI India seeks but not at the cost of masses who are made to shriek. Let FDI Make Entry without annoying anyone as India is a nation where one expects from aviation to railways there would be a watchful and to the last hour vigilant GM.

Trooped In A Room Spacious Enough To Accommodate Even Those Who Could Croon

Coming back to Kanniyakumari, once having figured out Raja Palace and trooped in a room spacious enough to accommodate even those who could croon, after getting sedated by long sessions of choon, all thoughts were on Rameswaram Stay where people don't necessarily leave imprints that they are getting grey. Rameswaram, and the uninterrupted flow of vehicles had changed over the years, with all Car Street out of bounds for public transport. North Car Street, East Car Street, South Car Street And West Car Street were the ones where public transport, including autos and buses, which could ply at one point of time, had been shut for them and this bringing inconvenience to devotees, primarily triggered by those who on occasions came in Audis. The rationale to keep the Four Car Street out of bounds for public transport shorn of logic and this act by no means legit. The trudge to the lodge can be in a sort of  disarray if from railway station one is carrying two luggage entirely comprising garments and water bottle and no ornaments. The Trudge To The Lodge And The Date With The Lord I Still Maintain can never be bothersome if we keep Lord in our prayers from AM To PM. Lord Ramanatha Swamy seeks to see his devotees be all vigilant while inside temple and moments spent here is something to relish for the likes of Nevil.

Visiting Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple

Having taken a room in Kanniyakumari, all thoughts were on the time I would be spending in this holy town, having visitors from as distant place as UK who don't frown. On A Friday Entered Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple At 6 AM And Came Out At 7. Priests were attentive and so were the string of associates right after different sets of Gates. One can pen thoughts inside temple as there are no volunteers who would be irksome and precious time spent inside sanctum sanctorum is a real gem. Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple I was visiting after nine years and nothing had changed and none having any fears.

Visiting Vivekananda Rock And Kanniya's Footsteps 

With drizzle all over the place, I was by all means confident of taking a vessel to Kanniya's footsteps. Reached Ferry Service Point at 7.40. Gates that were closed opened at 8.20. Board Vessel M L Pothigai at 8.26. Reach Kanniya's Footsteps at 8.38.  As well had the honour of visiting Vivekananda Rock As Well Meditation Hall. Visited Thrivalluvar Statue As Well. Boarded Vessel at 9.02 and reached Kanniyakumari at 9.20. The rides back and forth were convenient enough to raise this tale that vessels can get you the tourist attractions that you desire in a nation that has multiple connectivity and wire. Mind you, there is Thrivalluvar University in Vellore (Tamil Nadu) and Thrivalluvar Statue in Philippines. 

Grub From Chitra Hotel In Vivekananda Kendra; Internet Cafe Coming Handy

As for the grub, I settled for Chitra Hotel in Vivekananda Kendra. This outlet on previous occasion went by the name Gourishankar Restaurant. Ranade communications in Vivekananda Kendra came handy for internet connection with I having spoken to Mr P Thungaswami on mobile and he ever ready to lend help. Saturday as well visited Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple and this outing was something to cherish. Two Days In A Row had the moment to be with Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple and silence inside was the golden gell. This very day visited Sea View Restaurant East Car Street and had a buffet largely comprising South Indian Dishes and this cafeteria retaining all aces. The staff at Chitra Hotel in Vivekananda Kendra and in Sea View Restaurant East Car Street courteous and a special word of praise for Mr Rathnam and Mr Kumar in Chitra. 

Booking Tatkal Ticket For A Train Meant To Leave From Bengaluru

On A Sunday took time out to book Tatkal Railway ticket from Kanniyakumari Railway Station from Bengaluru to Bhopal, and the woman personnel at the counter helpful enough to get a confirmed one minus lower berth that was shunned. Quite irking it looked that lower berth could not be gained but had the fortune that I was holding a confirmed ticket for a sizeable sum.

The Ride To Kanniyakumari From Rameswaram

The Ride To Kanniyakumari From Rameswaram

With directions to Thoothkudi, Tiruchendur and Kanniyakumari, I was heading to a place that I had not visited since August 2016 in a nation flanked by Base Kitchen and Railway Canteen. Base Kitchen panders to the whims and fancies of passengers cutting across party lines who wish they not be named that they are giants. Having hit the road and going past the new Pamban Bridge by railways, which was no different from previous one as it was well short of electric poles, and here moot observation would be the urgency shown to get it inaugurated to illustrate it has the liberty to carry convoy in tonnes. 

No New Insights From New Pamban Bridge As Still There Is No Electrified Route From Tiruchchirappalli

And herein the better idea would have been electrified route even after Tiruchchirappalli and going all the way to Rameswaram as there are thick rush during festive occasions like Onam. This new Pamban Bridge raises tales that lend fewer insights and this institution witness to its budget year after year getting spiked. Railways need to take up those projects which are marginally better than previous ones invariably inviting thoughts by those who may not be plump. As I had collected Laminated Pictures Of Lord Ramanatha Swamy from Lakshmi The Store in Rameswaram few hours ago, and now on the way to Kanniyakumari commensurate with directions to Thoothkudi and Tiruchendur, and some residents finding it safe to stay/play indoors. Here there are thoughts on Lord Ganesh Festival in Mumbai and some connecting the dots in Hawaii. Notably at 11.32 Keelakarai comes and there are directions to Ervadi Dargah. Reach Ervadi Dargah at 11.44 and here Muslims are in good numbers with women wearing burqa, and much to cheer in this part of world, there was no gag order coming from troika. Here my thoughts go to Ajmer Dargah. Bus of Indian Matric Higher Secondary School passes by and hope the students are able to topple Maths Puzzle In One Try. At 12.18 PM comes Sayalkudi. Few minutes later this stretch reminds one of road to Tirupati from Bengaluru/Chennai and surroundings by no means invoking ennui.     

Sighting Of Wind Plants

 At 12.33 Vembar comes, and as Tuticorin is 58 kms away, surprise of surprises there are sighting of wind power plants and that too in huge numbers reinforced by those who are not forced to spend nights in tents. Mind you, there are excessive showering of these plants in and after Hospet in Karnataka State and none goaded to get in a session to berate. At  12.57 sight first bus going to Rameswaram (RMM). At 1.03 comes Veppalodai followed by V Pandiyapuram at 1.05, at 1.10 Tharuvaikulam, at 1.17 Mela Arasadi and here none carrying CD. CD on price upsurge of essential commodities and none in the power gallery finding this seasonal surge to keep them at ease. From here turn left and to leave no one in doubt at 1.23 comes Thoothkudi . At 2 go past Service School CBSE and here learning tips may be easy. 

Going Past Banana Research Station

 At 2.18 go past Banana Research Station. At 2.27 Kanniyakumari 84 kms and this town has enough dose of creators. From here turn left and we are on National Highway 44. SOJOURNERS CHURCH comes and some in the surroundings finding their chums. At 2.38 Tirunelveli 5 kms and Kanniyakumari 75 kms. If the traffic on ring road of Delhi could glide as the one on NH 44  it would be fun to the core. But it is easier said than done as Delhi Traffic is more than the sum total of slips stored/stirred in different EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines).   At 2.47 Kanniyakumari 60 kms and Thiruvanthapuram 123 kms. We reach Nanguneri Kanniyakumai Tollway Pvt Ltd at 2.50. Again at 3.22 sighting of wind power plants and those who have underscored the need to have them are even in France.  At 3.33 Kanniyakumari 17 kms. Reach Kanniyakumari at 3.50 and reach the accessible lodge which millions can watch.

This Ride To Kanniyakumari Revealed that though there are no modern to date buses during day time from Rameswaram, taxi ride could be employed as there are no tales to hide. The taxi tryst was to explore that part of India where there are evergreen surroundings and ever lasting wind plants with tales shared by followers of tennis icon whose first name is Ivan. The ride lasting nearly six hours nudged one to think what it takes for South India to beat the odds as North can't figure out the plot. For North to stand straight, verbal abuse and that too released in flood, would have to wait.

Happy Birthday To Mr Amitabh Bachchan, Mr Prannoy Roy

Happy Birthday To Mr Amitabh Bachchan (October 11) . Happy Birthday To Mr Prannoy Roy (October 15). My Best Wishes Would Always Be With Them And Their Family Members. 

At KBC Podium the conversation among Mr Amitabh Bachchan, Mr Javed Akhtar and Mr Farhan Akhtar was truly illuminating. Mr Javed Akhtar and Mr Amitabh Bachchan could recall tales of the previous century with ease as they hail from a creative background and having a creative outlook. Cheers to them for keeping surroundings upbeat. Hope to hear similar set of conversations in future as well.

The Day I Am Supposed To Leave Rameswaram

The Day I Am Supposed To Leave Rameswaram

The day I am supposed to leave Rameswaram, the day prior to that I visit Iyra Cafe which is just a stone's throw away from MICRO Computer Zone (West Car Street). With shutters down, MICRO Computer Zine may or may not have been functioning perhaps in need of fine tuning. Fine tuning and that too for a series of cyber cafes that had folded up in Rameswaram over a period of time, and here to reconfigure them was the urgent call, as those likely to visit are gentlemen like Sally and Paul. That particular day I had paid a visit to S S Palace Grand Restaurant with an understanding that curd rice, and that to taken during day time, would set the course for those seeking campus placement. Campus placement usually happens during fag end of year, enlisting campus cheer. Campus placement millions seek in a decade in a nation where random submissions are made during Budget by those who are not teen and add to the exercise innumerable digit. Budget gives a fair idea of taxes to be levied and sections if left unsupervised can give no room to manoeuvre for likes of Davies. Budget, and there are beadroll of enthusiasts, who take a vow that this be an annual exercise to plough. 

Visiting Iyra Cafe For Umpteenth Time

Iyra Cafe I was visiting umpteenth time as black tea was served and in corridors of power it was heard. Snacks and those not having returned to barracks were poised to yield a tale here as eateries like Iyra Cafe in RMM were rare. Let RMM take a call that more such eateries would be in a functioning mode as those with a nose for news could pause and pose. Iyra Cafe that too on a Wednesday Evening I wished to drop by as taking an auto ride to S S Grand or Just A Sarang Restaurants back and forth would have meant to hand over the change in a State that after Spring would vote and wait. 

Vacating SRI RAMANJANEYA CHATRAM  In North Car Street

Thursday after returning from Lord Ramanatha Swamy Temple I vacated SRI RAMANJANEYA CHATRAM (North Car Street) with hosts like Mr Girish and Mr Muni Swamy looking good and I setting sights on Kanniyakumari, which in due course of time would be visited by followers of Australian Artist Jimmy Crute. SRI RAMANJANEYA CHATRAM had been kind enough to give space for over three days and hope to pop in another day another month when despite bad press EVM won't be shunned. As I visited Just A Sarang cafeteria and made calls to a taxi group to get me the vehicle of choice to reach Kanniyakumari where I could rejoice, thoughts were on how the ride would be in a State where Tamilians (Tamilians are natives of Tamil Nadu The State) on a host of issues agree.

Leaving For Kanniyakumari; Going Past Pamban Bridge

Leave Rameswaram at 10.17 AM with rail tracks running parallel to road and here there is no GM on board. Here I seeking association with Lord Ramanatha Swamy to call me again and again even if that is supposed to be winter with less rain. At 10.26 Madurai 160 kms away where too ardent devotees go and pray. This very moment comes Pamban Bridge with early sighting of a large number of vessels in the sea, and a large number of people including Muslims, getting out of their car to get a real look that comes for free. Thinking about Gujarat and Mumbai and the family I came in touch with in Chennai Egmore station where there is a dire need to run early morning trains to Rameswaram. As I go past Southern Railways Officers' Rest House, there are a large number of Tamil Nadu State Road Transport Corporation buses that have hit the road with some at the wheels thinking about Erode. Here Coimbatore 370 kms and Salem 350 kms. 

Mandapam Camp Railway Station

At 10.36 Mandapam Camp Railway Station comes. At 10.39 Nagapattinam 244 kms. Thinking about some taking taxis from Chennai to Rameswaram, and not getting deterred by hefty cab sum. Take a note of ONGC Energy Now And Next. And herein mopeds galore with notings made in RMM where they come to the fore. Few minutes later Trichy 201 kms and Ariyaman Beach 1.5 kms. At 10.58 Kanniyakumari 274 kms. Go past INS Parundu. From here Paramkudi 56 kms, Chennai 514 kms and Puducherry 367 kms. At 11.17 Theni 200 kms, Cochin 389 kms.

Sparing Thoughts On Unfolding Developments

Sparing Thoughts On Unfolding Developments

Having staged two different visits to Chennai Egmore the previous to previous Sunday, all attempts were aimed at securing porter for the day I was supposed to leave for Rameswaram with an intent and hope no one would misbehave with me and no one would try to nail me. Mr Ibrahim, The Porter In Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin, engaged in no misconduct and so were other range of porters which I sighted once I boarded train for Rameswaram. The rides from Delhi to Chennai and followed by Chennai to Rameswaram were least bothering and the sum total of the exercise so far was by no means hallucinating. Against this backdrop I hoped the ride to Middle Sections Of India would be getting me in no sort of trouble and those in surroundings amenable. 

As I inched towards Bengaluru and stayed in Platform 8 for the train to park itself designated to leave at 8 PM, I was in thoughts on how the different rides in South India had been inviting enough to engage in broad conversations with litmus test on no one was getting abusive and all in their sense. I was biding time and as clock struck 7 in Bengaluru Railway Station and I watching movement of different trains came a volley of verbal abuse from those who were of Punjabi descent. I was taken aback by these Delhi Locals and their art of mastering abuse in Hindi and that too for a long duration in that section of India where Hindi is rarely spoken. Where was the need for Delhi Locals to take a seat in proximity and showcase their presence by abuse and more abuse? I was all by myself and in a dilemma of sorts. When the train finally pulled in these Delhi Locals Coach was more than 150 metres away. These Delhi Locals astute aim was to take a seat in my proximity and raise a banner of revolt that they can"t stomach my visiting South India and whichever part of country I step in they won't spare me. 

These Delhi Locals and their thunder to navigate and narrate tales of inconvenience primarily suggest that in pre partition days these Delhi Locals successfully manufactured abusive rockets which could fly in one try. These Delhi Locals knew that after the country would gain Independence they would have new association to built on in their empire of existence, and they would deem fit to give trouble to those who can't display his or her writ. From Delhi Locals abuse spread to Hindi Heartland and later to other parts of country.  Abuse that too heard in Hindi Heartland is alarming and fights breaking out in corridors of power is by no means entertaining. These Delhi Locals pound you in whichever part of country one pays a visit and they taking a seat in my proximity was all stage managed by Home Ministry and an evil attempt to get entertainment gadget free. Home Ministry goons travel right from Delhi and tail me to sections in India I access making it doubly sure I am under stress. These are wonderful elements out to undo advantages of 50 years and they have blessings of a regime that is worn out with no fear. More trouble was to follow in Bhopal.
