Return Journey

Now the vacation is over.Time to pack up and once again back to Madhya Pradesh.So the Journey starts from Thiruvalla.Along with the Journey the eating marathon starts.To start with 'Paripu vada' is the first thing available between Thiruvalla and Kottayam.It is very hot and spicy.From Kottayam to Ernakulum it is 'Medu Vada'.In between Coffee is taken.At Ernakulum we get down to get our next train to Madras.Fish curry Meals at the Ernakulum junction is quiet tempting.Of Kerala's most famous fish sardine is served.Then we get into a train bound for Madras.After a good nights sleep we reach Madras.Immediately we run to get hold of another train bound for Nagpur.Now it is two days journey.Now the food is Vegetarian and made in groundnut oil.Dressing of people also changes.Tamil ladies prefer white Jasmine flowers to decorate their hair along with lot of glass bangles and of course the nose ring which surprisingly even the Kerala Hindu ladies never use to put.One thing that always surprised me was why a Tamil lady always apply lot of Turmeric all over their body?No answer.
One of the major attraction about entering Andhra pradesh is to eat lot of fruits which the vendors keep on coming at between two stations.Once on entering orrisa we get lot of Hot milk to drink.Finally after breakfast on train we reach Nagpur.After one hour we get our train for Madhya pradesh and we reach our place in two hours.
In Madhya pradesh the only mode of transportation was Cycle riksha.So We take a cycle riksha and reach our rented home.
