3-day trip to University via Palakkad

For the past 3 days had been on another trip to Palakkad. Actually, the trip was to Thenhipalam. Just that it was via Palakkad. Didn't have any other place to stay. And also, was a chance to meet some of my friends. So, bundled everything into one.

So I had left from here in the morning of 21st. Reached there by afternoon and then met couple of my friends. And then, went for a movie. "Marykkundoru kunjaadu". It was good visiting the often-visited theatre, after a long time. Then had food from our usual Thattukada. And then reached our place of stay. Was staying along with my friends, in their rented room. Spent the night there. Was very low on sleep. Talking was more evident.

Then on the 22nd, was time for the trip for which I had actually come. Went to the railway station early in the morning, and that too walking. Lucky, that my fellow mates were there with me, they had a small jogging as well. :) And then, after boarding two trains, one from Palakkad and the other from Shronur, I got down at Parappanangadi (Malappuram district). And the main place, where I am going, is the Calicut University at Thenhipalam. There were couple of corrections to be made in my marklists, for which I had come to the University. And there was some issue for sorting, for my friend too, who had accompanied with me to the University.
Things went smooth and my work there had been over by afternoon, but then waited on for my friend. That carried on till the evening. And another surprise thing that happened was, I met the father of another schoolmate. Hadn't had any details regarding her, ever since we had left school, and now came to know about her. Felt good.
Then returned to Palakkad by the 6 o'clock train from Parappanangadi. And reached there by night 9. Had dinner from New and went to the place of stay.

The next day, on 23rd, there was a meeting scheduled with another two classmates at college. Had breakfast with them. We had been meeting after about 6 months. And it was a good experience too, though it was a short one. And after meeting them, hurried to the railway station. I had a train to catch, and in accordance with a deep thought in my mind, I MISSED the train! There was something going on in my mind, of a certain incident like that. So, with the only train to Bangalore coming only at the night, I postponed my trip to the next day. So since had the day off, and my fellow mates had an exam the next day, I went to meet another friend. Went for another movie along with her, Traffic. It was a different movie. A different story, but still a must-watch. I must say that, when I saw Final Destination 2 after a couple of days, it made me remember Traffic. And yes, it is a Malayalam movie! :)
And then spent the rest of the evening there at the room.

And on the next day again, made the trip to college, after 2 months, isn't much of a time, considering that I ain't a student there anymore. Couldn't meet much of my beloved juniors, because it was exam time there. Met some teachers and also had a long talk with our lecturer-cum-friend Ma'am, at the Department Library. We were catching up on the rest of the batch, she was updating her database, regarding other people from our batch, who was doing what, where and all. And I was catching up on the latest news happening there.
After that, hurried to the railway station, this time made a point, not to miss the train and to reach early. Met another friend at the station. She had nearly tore me apart, the other day, when I pledged to meet her, and later on lost track of the time, and couldn't meet her. Glad that I did later on.

And thus, after boarding the train, reached home at about 8 pm at night, after a long trip. Usually I used to return back home soon, from such a trip. Might go one day morning, and return the other day night. But this was considerably long and a detailed one too.

So, that was it.
And after a long long time, such a long post.

Darkness

As I sit within these walls Those thoughts, the mind recalls Craving for that cosy hand With that familiar blue band The shadows in the moonlight Search for the bright sunlight That once existed, for long Without any inhibitions, forlorn The breeze sings in midnight Though the clock waits for the light With the miles crossing by But the moon floats, as its own alibi The walks sing their ballads Out when they call, the nomads Those who belong to this world Yet, while they lie all curved Along the streets, they speak Of stories which call them a freak Smile along they do with might When others smirk at their sight Forget those who are bemoan Running behinds dreams flown Chasing peaks which are unreachable Carrying loads pretty unbearable A day shall come, long-drawn When the time will dawn Upon them with a light so bright Fight, they shall, with all their might.

The Trip

It was started off as just another Whatsapp group, but fortunately it ended up as something which materialized into a get-together. With couple of months of planning lead by our very own planning commision head, Mr. S, a trip to Ooty, worked out for the long weekend clubbed with Labor Day. The agenda was clear: A visit to our alma mater, a drive through the valleys of Ooty, and an overnight stay, and then the return day after - and yes, celebrating Mr. A’s homecoming as well. The plan looked simple, but the eagerness towards it wasn’t such. It had been a long time ever since the whole of Troublers (yes! that’s the name of our group), had sat down together, and talked like there wasn’t an end to the world. And The Trip was surely going to be a mark up for that. For me, it happened to be a rush through with missing out on the first day to The Trip. So after the hiccups with the month end closure and between the hurried heartbeats decrypting the excitement into smiles, I boarded t...

My Book Review - The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini Recently read this book. A wonderful work with blending of emotions. The story was interesting in the way it moved on from childhood to future life of the central character. It explains a lot about life in Afghanistan, though it is way back in the 80s, but still many times I felt really sorry for the life there. In a creation of fiction, it doesn't seem to be safe at all, so in reality, it would be worse.Would suggest anyone to read through it. The story is a definite example of the fact that, we do commit mistakes in our lives, and that there are chances to rectify them as well.
