Last few days, I have been touring many places in Trivandrum and Kanyakumari district for inviting relatives for my brother’s marriage. Weekends have been very hectic with morning to evening visiting relatives and formally inviting them for the marriage. It’s long long time since I had seen many of them and many times I am not able to find why we are inviting them. I am told about how they are related to me, but I don’t understand the route most of the times. I guess this is the by product of me away from the home town for almost 18 years now for study and then for work.
We had covered most part of Trivandrum (but still 20-25 houses left !). Last weekend we travelled to Nagercoil with our little girl Hansini. Saturday and Sunday we covered all relatives in Kanyakumari District and by 8pm on Sunday, we were back in Trivandrum. Enroute we visited many places including Nagercoil, Kottar, Ganapathipuram, Colachel, Monday Market, Parakkai, Thiruvithamcode, Thuckalay, Padmanabhapuram and Arumanai. Even though I carried my camera, due to the trip being hectic, I could not afford to stop at places where I wanted to take shots.
