Take us to visit a special place in yout hometown
Here, isi my place, we do have too many places to move out. But to have a real time with family is the open beach - our kollam beach, kerala, South India. This definitely is a special place.
One of the interesting part is Iam staying far away from the city and the beach is in the city center. Moreover, the colleges, schools, the malls, the speciality hospitals and all the government offices are all located close by. So whenever we have any official related works in the city centre, where we are kept waiting, our immediate visit is to the beach which is close by, to spent some time.
Evenings are the most beautiful. Too many amusements to kill our time. We can see too many kites in the air, by the older & younger generations. The happiness and smile in their face while flying the kite is worth watching, even if this continues for hours. Its nice to see the colorful kites flying up in the air.
By 4.00 p.m. we can see the beach gettiing filled with Vendors and small cart stalls, meaning the vendors making hot tea with hot snacks. and not to say a crowd is followed to munch these fries.
The Beach is fully occupied during the evening times . On my last visit, a month ago I saw a lot of eagles flying near the open stall where a lady was frying hot pakoras (a popular Indian snack). It was just bouncing on top of everyones head, for taking hot pakoras.)
To attract the littleones, there were toy stalls in a moving cart. The colourful ballons, the toy cars, variety magnets , bangles ear rings ettc. were the centre of attraction for money.
Next was the ice -cream stall. Hardly could I see peoples buying one. May be the weather was not much pleasing.
Inbetween, men dressed in uniform where walking across the shore warning the people to move away from the shore. They were the security guards.
In a nut shell, I love this place where me and my family spent some time together - talking, eating snacks, enjoy watching the children play around. The visit usually takes place when my children come down together for a short vacation.
Thankyou for reading my blog. The photos are my own.
