Mune Naal in MUNNAR

Somebody said, when friends are together it’s always worry-free, It's true for sure. This time we went to Kerala Boat House and MUNNAR. No Hurry No Worry this is the first time our people were not much excited before the trip, not many mails in inbox, only tickets were booked, it was a doubt till the last week whether we gonna make it or not. Simple plan over phone had surely brought us this successful trip. Thanks for mobile communication.

After getting in train we had B'day jubilation cake cut for Praveen and Ramesh, Some chit chat with friends. Next day we Got down at SHERTALA, as planned travel guy CYRIAC (9995875737, 0481-2525737) was waiting for us in the station. Following it was breakfast in 'The HUT' kerala hotel. Next straight to boat house. Dasavatharam (Cost 12k for 12 ppl) the boat booked for us 3 Bed Room with TV, CD player and many more facilities just like our home.

People started to have Toddy- First time our guys having, it was great though smell was very foul, even insects were used in the preparation and it was floating but never mind we had 8 liters in 2hours, slow gracing Dancing, 4-5 cameras snaps were crossing each other, playing Cards, had lunch and even bathed in that KUMARAKOM Backwater, it was drizzling, climate was simply overtaking everything. came to shore by 6pm and we have been taken to the place where we had OIL MASSAGE, Every small muscles, bones were rubdown set right by the well trained certified Massage people (750 per head), on the whole it was a wonderful experience. Bit tired but guys were not stopping back to room and party started at night. Black Dog, Haig smell was filled. Then guys were watching some movies in laptop.

Next day morning small trip in boat and had breakfast in the middle of the backwater. Came back to the shore by 10 AM. As per our plan we have started to MUNNAR in Tempo traveler. On the way we had nice bath in the Water Falls. Sight seeing and reached room (S and N Tourist-9946056080, 1500 per day) Old munnar by 6pm, big dormitory to bring everyone in one room. Small walk till 7:30 and we went to interior MUNNAR to have Dinner. Night it was Cards for passing time BLUFF. Next day morning we took Jeep(1100 per day) and had sightseeing visiting Mattupatty DAM, ECHO Point, Elephant Riding, Floriculture Centre etc. Shopping in between. Went down to Aluva by MUNNAR Bus reached station well in time.

Not usually people come across it was a terrific experience in the Guwathi express, Even the reserved Coach were Full packed worse than normal Unreserved. People were sitting all around, Noise filled, No place to keep their huge belongings. People cannot even move, We Pulled the chain for the first time, some vigilance squad came and trying to remove the people, we could see people crying donno where and how would they reach their destination. we took video and it caused big arguments with Squad letting them to know on the load the train can carry and later heard like Money minded Railways have issued more than 1300 waiting lists and this Poor, illiterate guwathi people doesn’t even know that they have another 2 trains which goes empty every week and it has been their since many years and government haven’t took any steps to give knowledge to them or wat to say it is a fate in other words. Even we guys haven't took any steps, forgot everything after reaching our place. When and how it is going to stop ?

This trip was great mixer of experience. Thank you guys for Winning over worry in this busy scheduled routine life, a big relief.
