By Anisha Jayadevan.
Nature is such a wonderful cabinet of curiosities. I beloved coming across petty oddities inwards the geography of a house that larn inwards magical. Two months ago, nosotros visited such a house inwards Kerala. It was sliver province called Cherai, that had backwaters on i side as well as the body of body of water on the other. What a feast for the eyes it was. Turn i means as well as you lot saw the waves crashing against the beach, plough the other as well as you lot saw the calm stillness of the backwaters, as well as await at i time ahead to run into a narrow route snaking through petty beach side shanty restaurants as well as kokosnoot as well as pino trees.
I sat past times the backwaters inwards the belatedly morn as well as even as well as saw many Grey Herons perched on Chinese line-fishing nets as well as a tiny swift-like aeroplane which I could non identify. Our room looked over the backwaters but if you lot craned your cervix a petty you lot could run into the beach. The backwaters were similar liquid mirrors as well as reflected many colours. Every fourth dimension nosotros stepped out of our rooms, the backwaters were a slightly dissimilar shade of blue. It looked similar the prettiest during sunrise as well as sunset.
I flora that the kokosnoot trees were either allured past times the body of body of water or the backwaters. Some of them would lean towards the body of body of water as well as the others towards the backwaters. We couldn’t cause got sides equally easily.

| A nook from a even out tale. |
We were going to Kerala to attend a marriage ceremony as well as my begetter persuasion nosotros would brand the most of it past times staying inwards Cherai which was unopen by. We reached Erunakulam Junction at 4.30 inwards the morning. I stood at the door of the prepare when nosotros were a few stops away as well as looked out at the scenery that was unmistakably that of Kerala's; luscious light-green everywhere as well as embracing everything, as well as former houses alongside sloping tiled roofs. We paid Rs. 3 for a prepare ticket to Aluva, from where nosotros bundled into a machine that my uncle had rented for us, as well as drove off to Cherai. As nosotros were nearing it, I could odour the beach air as well as I stuck my caput out the window alongside a big smiling on my human face upward as well as gulped it all in.
Then suddenly, nosotros were driving downward this road:

| The route leading upward to the beach. |
It had the backwaters on either side as well as was beautiful.
We stayed inwards Amrapaly Beach Resorts which looked over the backwaters as well as the sea. It was a prissy hotel alongside thatched roofs as well as friendly owners as well as nosotros paid Rs. 2000 a hateful solar daytime for an A/C room.
What I loved best was a petty gate correct contrary the hotel which you lot could swing opened upward as well as and then hop onto the beach.

| What greeted us when nosotros stepped out of our rooms. |
The beach starts getting quite crowded afterwards xi inwards the morn as well as stays that means till to a greater extent than or less 8 inwards the night. I actually produce non similar crowded beaches, but I flora the atmosphere inwards the even to hold out quite lively as well as high spirited, alongside lots of nutrient stalls as well as people merrily walking downward the beach road.
I loved Cherai best early on inwards the morn as well as belatedly at night. I would wake upward alongside my Dad at v inwards the morn as well as nosotros would become for a placidity walk along the beach, which would, at that time, hold out completely empty, salvage for some happy beach dogs, a few crows trying to worry petty beings out of the sand alongside their beaks, as well as the fishermen.

| The beach past times the morning. |
The happy beach dogs played alongside crabs as well as chased each other as well as trotted amicably beside us. The crows would hop speedily towards the sand exposed past times a receding moving ridge as well as stick their beaks inwards as well as hurriedly hop dorsum earlier an approaching moving ridge could attain them. We saw the bright bluish of White Breasted Kingfishers as well as I strongly suspect nosotros saw a White Bellied Treepie inwards flight. Far away inwards the sea, silhouettes of line-fishing boats came closer as well as some went farther.
The kickoff hateful solar daytime nosotros reached, nosotros drove along the sea, past times petty dwellings, mounds of mussels as well as thence much light-green (of the trees) as well as bluish (of the heaven as well as the sea) that it made our hearts swell. Less than one-half a kilometer away from the hotels, everything is really placidity except for the waves; the beach widens out as well as is shady nether the many pino trees.
We ate body of body of water nutrient for breakfast, tiffin as well as dinner. H5N1 plate of prawns or mussels was but Rs. xc as well as thence fresh as well as thence tasty I almost cried. We tried mussels, kari meen (a diversity of river fish) as well as mackerel with puttu (ground rice which is steamed) and appam. We e'er ate at the tiny beach side restaurants as well as the owners were e'er chatty as well as friendly. H5N1 lady inwards the kitchen of i of these restaurants smiled at us broadly, equally though nosotros were long lost relatives.
I sat past times the backwaters inwards the belatedly morn as well as even as well as saw many Grey Herons perched on Chinese line-fishing nets as well as a tiny swift-like aeroplane which I could non identify. Our room looked over the backwaters but if you lot craned your cervix a petty you lot could run into the beach. The backwaters were similar liquid mirrors as well as reflected many colours. Every fourth dimension nosotros stepped out of our rooms, the backwaters were a slightly dissimilar shade of blue. It looked similar the prettiest during sunrise as well as sunset.

It was a wonderful 3 days away as well as I happily told everyone i time I was dorsum nigh the beach alongside the body of body of water on i side as well as the backwaters on the other.
