3 days in train : A Journey to Kerala

So, this is the first travel blog coming out of my pen...I was on my way to Cochin and it was almost 3 days travel by train...The Patna Ernakulum express was running before time but neither the comfort of the ac 2 tier nor the 3 days idleness was making me happy. For the first time in my life I encountered a problem with ac 2 tier - a strange problem ... which I never faced during any of my educational tour from college when I traveled through second class sleeper...The problem was indeed weird.. But now this was a huge problem that I could neither open the window nor I could take photograph through it.

I was very insistent that I would sit beside the window from the very beginning of the journey. But all went in vain...but every cloud has a silver lining behind it. This is true that I am unable to click a photo whenever I am seeing something extraordinary...Neither can I store them in the hard disk. But some of the scenic beauty which i have witnessed during the past two days will remain with me forever...

So the first lot of stuffs were the bridges over rivers...It was Godavari and Krishna near the cities of Rajahmundry and Vijayawada respectively...It was evening...but the lights on the banks of the rivers were making the river fronts all illuminated with glitters...then the serene calm outside night view of unknown villages were making the moment more beautiful...it was late enough and I went to the upper birth for sleeping..

Next morning I woke up with utter surprise...The foggy grey tone in the horizon wide greenery of Tamilnadu villages are worth mentioning... I was overwhelmed. Then gradually the fog cover got cleared...the pleasant sun light was making the scene more beautiful...then I saw a couple of hillocks full of greenery... The train was passing through a track with high uplands on both side...Suddenly the track became so narrow that initially it seemed to be a gap within hills...Later I realized that it was not a gap.

Then the third lot of stuffs came. After passing the Coimbatore station the train started to enter a forest area. It was the famous forest in Tamilnadu -Kerala border. It was so dense, it was so green I was overjoyed...I was overjoyed with the continuous rhythm of the train and the eye soothing greenery by the window. The train continued to run and I continued to be a nature lover..

After travelling almost 2 hours we entered Kerala and I finally realized why Kerala is called god’s own country...
