Glimpses of a one day tour



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…
