By Sharmistha Sahoo
It was my minute opor-garai in addition to my husband’s showtime inward Kerala, fondly known every bit God’s ain country, in addition to nosotros wholly agree! Leaving the hustle bustle of Mumbai, nosotros travelled to Kumrakom, Kerala inward the calendar month of August. Putting our fast lives on a pause, nosotros entered what seemed similar a fourth dimension warp. The trip began amongst a boat ride inward our trouble solid boat along the breathtakingly serene Vembanad Lake.
The lake is dotted yesteryear palm trees on both the sides. We saw many houses of the locals yesteryear 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, at that spot were approximately schools on both the sides. We could fifty-fifty come across children studying inward their modest classrooms. I would convey loved to live inward such a schoolhouse where the lake is your campus! We cruised through the lake in addition to fifty-fifty entered many modest canals. And therefore nosotros broke out into the huge lake out of the backwaters in addition to could come across the magnanimity of the Vembanad lake, which yesteryear the means is the longest lake inward India Travel.
The entire sense was real humbling. To come across local people enjoying their lives inward uncomplicated activities gave us an perspective in addition to the much needed recess from our hectic lives. After the idyllic backwater ride, nosotros made our means dorsum to our hotel.Next morning, I woke upwardly to the audio of photographic boob tube camera clicking, from the attached balcony inward our hotel room. My hubby was already up, taking inward the backwaters sentiment at the fissure of the dawn. I was fully mesmerized yesteryear the sentiment of backwaters from our balcony.
I couldn't believe the calmness that the sentiment was eluding. We could but sit down at that spot doing zippo but gazing for hours.
After taking inward the sentiment every bit much every bit nosotros could, nosotros lastly bade goodbye to Kumarakom amongst a hope to supply presently every bit nosotros had left a slice of our pump dorsum there.
