Back 2 Chennai

Now I've returned to Chennai after having a great time at Kanniyakumari and Kovalam the last few days.These were perhaps one of the best days of my life as i got to visit these places along with my parents and my grandparents.And for those who don't remember I incidentally cut my cake at the Taj kovalam hotel on 14th Jan,sunday(yeah!!that's my birthday).

Well,we started on Friday the 12th and reached Kanniyakumari after taking flight till trivandrum and driving down from there.


The next day we saw the sunrise and visited some temples nearby.I don't know why they made us to strip before entering the temples there!!!Men are supposed to go there bare chested before entering the temples.All u guys out there BAD LUCK cos the rule applies only for the MEN!!!

Then we also visited PadmanabhaPuram palace which was once occupied by Raja Ravi Verma.





Its an awesome architectural marvel.(Made me feel like King). Snapped quite a lot fotos there and then after that spent some time at the Swami Vivekanda kendra where a wonderful panel on his life was put up.


After all these we had a long journey back to Kovalam.More awaited me there.Its a wonderful place with the beautiful beach and the foreigners of course!

The Taj Cove hotel resort is the best I've stayed in till date.Its got a unique style and environment.Feels right in the middle of an Amazon rainforest.It also got its private beach gym and everything one can imagine.


I tried my hand in archery as well and it turned out that i may have been an "arjuna" in my past!!!The Kovalam beach nearby was damn cool n hot as well!!!I witnessed the magnificent sunset.





























All good things come to an end and so did this.Or i must say "All good things keep continuing" as far as I'm concerned!We returned to chennai on tuesday after 4 gr8 unforgettable rockin days!
