Good breakfast made everyone fresh except me and Vijay. After taking a heavy breakfast, I was feeling very tired and sleepy. The original plan was to go to Suseendram, where a temple for lord Hanumanji is there. Most of you know that Hanumanji is my favourite God and would in fact scold me by reading this. Yes, I missed going there and went directly to room and slept nicely. In the mean while the rest 7 went to Susendram and had a nice darshan. It seems that they also went to a Thennai mara pannai (a place where plenty of coconut trees are grown) and had a feast of cocunut water (Ilanir).
Once they were back, we all went to Vivekanda Rock and Tiruvalluvar Statue. It costs Rs. 20 for each to cover these 2 places by boat. There is no other route. We have to reach there only by boat. It was an exciting trip in boat. It is quite a big boat ridden by motor and can carry about 200 people in a ride. Even standing is allowed. Naturally, as you expect, I was standing when I boarded the boat. We first reached Vivekananda Rock. There is a foot mark of an Amman here and a place to do meditation. Believe me the place to do meditation is very silent and I couldnt hear even the sound of sea waves. Each of us sat for 10 mins and came out. Plenty of snaps with different combination of people and backgrounds. Then we went to Tiruvalluvar statue. Snaps again there and that meant that the trip has almost wrapped up.
Once we were back to the shore, hunger struck everyone as it was almost 2:30 PM. A good lunch followed by purchase of various items followed. The time we has was very less as the train was scheduled at 5:30 PM. So after all the purchases, we went back to the hotel room and wrapped it up. Amjath's father with his influence got us the room rent to be reduced. One more help from a great man. We really owe a lot to him in this trip. At last everyone reached the station and the journey towards Chennai started.... The normal routine is back in position now....
If you have really read all the 6 postings fully, why dont you comment on my blog? You had time to read such a mokkai story... just spend some time scribbling a comment also. :-)
