My experience of kerala trip 4(a)

23rd march.
6am.

It was 6am when i opened my eyes. Everyone was sleeping in our room. Except ananth. Ananth was watching tv. He was watching some hindi channel. I and ananth have one thing in common. We both like old hindi songs. Then Karthik got up. He was surprised to see me awake. Because he knew that i was playing till late night. Uttam and prem were still sleeping. I disturbed their sleep. Then i went to the other room. Vishwa and kiran were still sleeping.

Everyone had their bath and we went to have our breakfast. Abdul got a new name. #halalcut.

We began our journey. We went to Periyar park. Paid a heavy entrance fee. On the way we saw some deers. We thought it was a dense jungle and were surprised to see people cycling there. Then we reached a place where few vehicles were parked. There was a big tortoise shaped shop. I thought it was going to be a safari like thing. But the driver told to get down. Seriouly i was scared to get down. I thought the animals might attack us.:). After all What's there in watching animals, We've watched lot of animals:-) Then i guessed that we had to go on van or so (to safari).

When we got down, there were no animals other than monkeys. Everyone adviced me to be careful of monkeys because few monkeys had attacked me couple of days back.:) We started walking. We were feeling like we were lost-in-jungle. Didn't know what to do there. Photo session was going on. Then we came to know that this was not the jungle where the animals were. We had go on boat to watch the animals. And animal watching would begin from 11.30am. We did not want to waste our time. We decided to go back. While walking back we saw a big log there. Seriouly it was very big log. Mostly trunk of a tree which was over 100years old. Vishwa and ranjini went and sat on it first. And Then everyone sat. Girish and maheshwari captured the photos. We were looking like a toy train.:).

Then one of thie guide there told about elephant park nearby. We decided to go there. We had to pay Rs.250/head for an elephant ride. I thought it was foolishness to pay 250bucks for an elephant ride. I stayed in the bus. Karthik, scary, abdul, ananth, maheshwari and vijayalakshmi also decided not to go. We were listening songs and chatting in the bus. Abdul and scary went on a walk. There were a few coffee plants nearby. I and vijayalakshmi went there. For the first time i'd seen coffee seeds:-). Everyone got down and we went to see what was going on in the elephant park. As soon as we neared the entrance of the park we heard sound of elephants coming near us. I just turned to my right, it was a big elephant. Just 10m away from me. First i got scared. Then i saw a mahout next to it. And kiran, pooja and girish were sitting on it.. They were on an elephant ride. Another elephant followed it. It was carrying prem, uttam and menaka. We took few snaps with the elephants.

We then decided to go to the spice garden. Heard that there was a tree house in that garden. We wanted to see it. The owner of the garden was our guide's friend. So paid the entrance fee and entered the garden. An old man joined us. He started explaining about those plants and garden in english. After 5mins i realized that he was the garden guide. He was irritating us. He had characters of lecturers RR sir and Earesh in him. In short he had an art-of-boring-people. We were eager to see the tree house. I was guessing that treehouse would look like tarzan/mougly's home. Then he should something made of 10-15k wooden slabs joined between 4 trees, and told us that it was a treehouse. Everyone was frustrated. I was feeling like hitting him.:). He showed rubber tree and some medicinal herbs. Slowly everyone started running away from him. We wanted to get out of the garden as early as we could. Then we saw a black myna there. Kiran sat next to it and started imitating its sound.:)
.


Next we were in a big confusion. As planned we had to go to Waynad. But everyone wanted to go to beach. We didn't know which beach was nearest. Our driver suggested to calicut beach. So we began our journey to calicut. Everyone wanted to see calicut beach, but i wanted to see calicut. Our plan was to reach calicut by 6pm and to play in the beach for a while and leave to waynad. I knew that calicut was far from kumily. And we were not going to reach there on time. But i stayed quiet because i didn't want to upset them. We started playing in the bus. This time we decided to play truth-or-dare. It was great fun. All those who chose 'dare' entertained a lot. Even i chose 'dare'. First ranjini told me to act like kannada hero kashinath. I did it. And then kala told me to do a mono acting. And the concept was that i was proposing Reddy sir's daughter. Did that too.
