I had to visit Kochi for a cousins marriage. This was the second visit, as i had attended the engagement few months back. The indian railway was the preferred mode of transport and I got into Ernakulam Super Fast (17:15 - 4:30) from Bangalore Central. As few relatives were traveling, it turned out to be a pretty nice journey. The train reached Ernakulam junction at scheduled time and we headed for Hotel Udupi Anand Bhavan where our accommodation was booked. Marriage was in the morning and evening there was a reception.
As I could not visit any place last time around, went to the marine drive this time. It was a walk-way on the seashore. We could see the refinery and the sea-port on the other side. The walkway ends on the port where we can catch steamers to go to other side, as there was less time, we canceled the boat ride :(
After finishing the reception in the evening, we caught the Maveli Express train @ 11:35pm to go to Mangalore. The journey was a memorable experience to have all the family members traveling together. We reached, Mangalore the following morning at 9:00 am, engaged a Tavera to go to our home. Had breakfast at Janatha Hotel (earlier PattumuDi Kalyana Mantapa), and enjoyed the drive on a rainy monsoon day. Reached Manipal at around 12 noon, after dropping all.
ಜೀವನವೆಂಬುವುದು ಹುಡುಗಾಟವಲ್ಲ "ಹುಡುಕಾಟ"...
