Travel Diary

Ghalib said-

                            “Sair kar duniya ki ghalib, zindagani fir kahan

                              Zindagani gar rahi, to naujwani fir kahan”

These are indeed very true lines. Travelling removes all boredom and mental stress form your life. The term “ghumna” fills you with energy and exuberance. In fact, I had a recent trip to Meenakshi temple, . Kanyakumari, Rameshwaram and Kovalam beach. It was a marvelous trip and I had wonderful time.

GOPURAM of Meenakshi Temple

The journey started with Meenakshi temple, which is situated in Madurai. Thousands of devotees stand in queues just for one glimpse of the idol of Goddess Meenakshi. All the differences are cast out and they know only one language i.e “devotion.” Same was case in Rameshwaram temple. What struck me other than the crowd at temples was the design of temples. It was magnificent. The “Gopuram” of the temple was made in an amazing way. It is prominent feature of temples made in Dravidian style. It was carved out with stones. I wonder how such a stupendous design would have possible at that time when we did not even had electric tools. 

Next in the line were Kanyakumari and Kovalam beach. Sunset at Kanyakumari was main attraction and it too was impeccable. 

The journey ended at Kanyakumari. I came back to my home hoping that will soon set on another wonderful trip.
