The 'U' Turn

Hang on...before you think I'm talkin about life directions and all that jazz.......the U turn is jus route i took on my lil vaccation


Hyderabad----->Pondichery--->Kanyakumari------>Kovallam(Trivandrum)----->Hyderabad


Finally finished engineering(havent recieved my degree yet thou, oh nor are the results out yet!), but anyways the thing is its done.


I dunno if a lifer at a jail after being released would be this happy or not....but i really dont care...four years of torture is over. K its not that im trying to give it a gloomy spin.....but engg was really pretty much the opposite of what i had expected it to be.



And the drama during the farewell would sum it up best.... most of my 'dearest' classmates dint even care to stay back for the photo session....you would think ppl would like to carry some memories n stf bt no......ppl dnt really care

Anyways it wasnt that bad either....i did have fun....did make good frnds so dats good enuff.

Alright coming back to the trip...Sagar Harish and I left as soon as the examz got over.

1st up was pondi........after being in a moving furnace(the rest of the trip we decided would be air conditioned, dint mind shelling out more).....we got off at chennai and took a bus to pondi....the drive was awesome....was really scenic....saw salt being made blah blah blah.

Pondi is a nice place not very happening and all but good.....v rented bikes and went around...u get to see french architecture and ofcourse taste french cuisine......i had a blast n pigged out....ate pretty much everything.

The train to kanyakumari was pretty eventful...what with we being in the waiting list and Harish choosing this moment to fall sick....we did get berths later on thou.

Now kanyakumari was something else.....again very scenic and everything,but had a very upbeat feel unlike pondi.

Sunrise and sunset, confluence of seas etc....tons of things to see n do.....but Harish chose to 'rest' n Sagar to just laze around(but we did have a lil drunken espcade later on).....i took off and did a lotta sight seeing by myself...only to play tour guide to these guys later on.

Then kovallam....now this is my second time here.....the water is just amazing.....pristine(phulishtop).

After checking into the hotel...we hit the beach,then the pool, then the bed. were really tired. Day 2 at kovallam 7 am snorkelling!!!.....Swimming in the open sea was frigthening yet fun. Man it was just great.....scooped jelly fish out the water :D.

K I forgot to mention but...huge food bills became the norm......we(I) just ate ate and ate at all kindsa eateries....and ofcourse therz always roomservice(our room in kanyakumari had more plates and trays than luggage, humans and furniture combined).

But yeah it had to end(primarily cos we are all broke and had actually spent more than what we had budgeted.....we sincerely thank the ppl who invented ATMs).

The train back home was a 30 hour deal.....we played cards slept and goes without saying ate our way home.

Was one of the best trips I've had.....had a lot of fun...did quite a few exciting things

N i guess i felt so cos I'm DONE WITH ENGINEERING.....woohoo!!!
