Kumarakom – Entering a Time Warp
By Sharmistha Sahoo
It was my minute opor-garai as well as my husband’s get-go inwards Kerala, fondly known every bit God’s ain country, as well as nosotros wholly agree! Leaving the hustle bustle of Mumbai, nosotros travelled to Kumrakom, Kerala inwards the calendar month of August. Putting our fast lives on a pause, nosotros entered what seemed similar a fourth dimension warp. The trip began alongside a boat ride inwards our solid boat along the breathtakingly serene Vembanad Lake.
The lake is dotted past times palm trees on both the sides. We saw many houses of the locals past times the backwaters. They all had their ain boats for commuting from i house to another. So exciting no? Everyday would live similar an adventure. Also, in that location were roughly schools on both the sides. We could fifty-fifty run into children studying inwards their minor classrooms. I would bring loved to live inwards such a schoolhouse where the lake is your campus! We cruised through the lake as well as fifty-fifty entered many minor canals. And thus nosotros broke out into the huge lake out of the backwaters as well as could run into the magnanimity of the Vembanad lake, which past times the agency is the longest lake inwards India.
The entire sense was really humbling. To run into local people enjoying their lives inwards unproblematic activities gave us an perspective as well as the much needed recess from our hectic lives. After the idyllic backwater ride, nosotros made our agency dorsum to our hotel.Next morning, I woke upwards to the audio of photographic idiot box camera clicking, from the attached balcony inwards our hotel room. My hubby was already up, taking inwards the backwaters sentiment at the crevice of the dawn. I was fully mesmerized past times the sentiment of backwaters from our balcony.
I couldn't believe the calmness that the sentiment was eluding. We could simply sit down in that location doing null but gazing for hours.
After taking inwards the sentiment every bit much every bit nosotros could, nosotros endure bade goodbye to Kumarakom alongside a hope to provide before long every bit nosotros had left a slice of our catch dorsum there.
