Kanyakumari































Being a traveler we got many experience. We stay at one place and then another and we keep going from one destination to another.
We came to madurai city. This city is very crauded and looks like delhi. If you want a good and cheap room then you have to work a lot, which we did here. Next day we went to Minakshi temple the One of big, old and best temple in india. This temple is amazing like a castle. Made of just stones. How they build it still its a mistery for me..... But this is shure that now we can not build it. There is only one thing which I don't like is they made it a business. You have to pay if you want to visit inside. and they forcefully take money from you. For visitors every thing is restricted but for them everything is allowed.
There is one funny story also... Before visiting the temple we got some information about train on internet to go to kanyakumari, there was a train at 2 o'clock. But it was 12 o'clock already. So we visit the temple very fast, we packed our bags and reached to the station. We did this all in just two hours. But when we reached at the Madurai junction there was no train to kanyakumari. You know why? Because the train we was expecting was at morning at 2 o'clock. We did not saw the time correctly because of shorts of time. But luckily we got another train at 3 o'clock. In the train I met a person, he was also from north india from Gujarat. He was very nice. We was talking about god and power and every thig. Its was a very impressive talk. I learned that god is in our mind only. If we believe then he is but if we don't then he is not.
So finally we reached at kanyakumari and again we started struggling for guest house. The first hotel we visited was good and the price they offered was also ok. But we decided to look for more in the hope to find a better one. But we visited may be 10 more hotels but all of them was asking for higher price with the condition that we have to check out next day morning. So we decided to have dinner first.

It was 12 o'clock already and the temple in kanyakumari opens at 4 o'clock in the morning so we decided to have a new experience to stay outside tonight. Because we found that city is quite safe and police is active here. At 1 am morning we reached at church and kept our bags down. Math started writing her dairy and I had a short nap there. But under the sky with the dogs and fear of unknown city who can sleep. There was only one thing which was perfect ... That was weather. It was so perfect to stay outside. me also start writing my dairy.
It was 3 o'clock in the morning. We saw each other and asked why we are here ? And start laughing. It was a new experience and we were happy to do that. It seems This city never sleep. Because we saw all the night some shops were open and peoples on the road and streets. At 4 o'clock we visit the temple. the temples in india are amazing , in this temple it was a condition that you have to remove your shirt, then only you can go inside with naked chest. In the early morning me also had to do that. But women's can go as it. When I entered inside again they asked me 20 rupees for close look. But I did not paid and find a another way to go inside.
Outside behind the temple you can take bath where three rivers meets. they believe that to take a bath here, can wash all sins and become a virgin. Every day thousands people come to take bath here. City is small but its good. In the morning it was very wonderful to see sunrise here. The first sun of india. We spend some good time there with hundreds of peoples.
Now this was the time to go to the hotel. I just go to bed and slept. I woke up at 2 o'clock. So now we were feeling hungry. It was the time to spend the money which we saved last night. We got good rooms and we had a good meal in 3* hotel.
Now it was the time to see sunset. there is a beach in kanyakumari but no one swimm there because water is very dangers here. here also the chit disappointed us. we could not walk there for a long. So we sit on a rock and enjoyed our evening.
We gone for internet but it was very bad experience. The shopkeeper guy was drunk. So... leave it.... We did not had dinner tonight because we had food at 5 o'clock in the evening. Here hotel check out time is 24 hours so tomorrow I have to wake up early in the morning.
Tomorrow We are expecting to go to the island first then we will leave for Rameshwar.
I hope the coming days will be more exciting and joyful as we spend before.
Love you all.
