There is this train 22622 Kanyakumari
Rameswaram Express which goes on a Sunday and returns on Monday. Few of us had
been waiting for a Monday holiday since March to make it happen. And there
comes Eid – Monday holiday. It was planned by A and discussed by B and
materialised by C. So what!! Sea is all that matters.
The color of it is unbelievable, the feel of the
constant, steady wind, sound of rustling leaves, crashing waves, great expanse
of flat land extending from horizon to horizon, the fresh fried fish, the
wonder of a huge floating stone in a well, different wells with fresh water in
the middle of the sea, the stories and wonders linked with Ramayana, the temple
of a thousand stone pillars, the multitude of Siva lingams, desolate farewell to loved ones, the whiteness
of sand, the roller coaster four wheel drive over marshy land and water, the
shells, the ruins, the rail bridge, the story, the cyclone, calm beaches,
violent beaches, the newly built road connecting past and future – glimpses of
the one day tour worth repeating…
