It's high time for friends in metropolitan cities to take a break from their routine of rushing through the traffic , spending hours and hours of office time before computers, and even during weekends crazily hanging out in the misty counters of preserved chicken to wait patiently for their token number to be called out.For a healthy mind and body, just go far from the maddening crowd for atleast three days at a stretch.Let your wheels turn to the direction of God's own country.
Winding through the windmill farm ,with thousands of blades rotating around on all sides ,the topography of land suddenly changes and the road goes up and down and you then can guess we are very few kilometers away from Kerala .And then frequently we pass over bridges that lie across the backwaters.Soon we are in Poovar, where Nature brags it's beauty with untold words.Man silently rowing his vallam in the neck deep water under the shady thatches of the coconut palms and occasional burring of Chetan's century old scooter in deserted road,cool breeze and running clouds above head and a loosely braided hair hanging behind a blooming umbrella are displayed as a slide show again and again until we reach the place from where we are taken to the ESTUARY RESORT an island resort in the backwaters of Poovar(a place near the mangrove forests very close to the Arabian sea.) The Resort people take us in motor boats which is a perfect antonym to Vallam.The Arabian Sea comes into our sight roaring behind the calm serene atmosphere of the back waters.The Arabian sea feeds the backwater at this place.The resort has a floating restaurant,library ,spa ,bar and even souvenir shoppe and anytime boat service.We are received by the traditionally dressed young ladies wearing their brand smile on their faces .No need to rush anywhere Three days of leisure,peace and fun guaranteed .If we go on a package tour we are offered a candle lit dinner on the beautiful lawns of the resort. You can dive into the shallow swimming pool anytime,play indoor games or beach volley ball or cricket outside or watch your favorite channels.You can recline in the chairs and look at the beautiful sunset as the glowing orange red ball drowns into the sea.You also can take a ride in vallam to the mangrove forests very close to the resort and explore exotic species of birds found there.And also go to the beach nearby where waves lash at the shore.
To me this was altogether a different experience.I need not drag the luggage on long platforms,need not follow the norms of visiting same old science cities in every capital city,govt. museums, art exhibitions ,theme parks of same companies at different places,need not rush for food in time and above all need not dress formally.Carefree life of three days to live only for ourselves , in the lap of Nature is really a gift to be cherished.
