wat my kochachan read abt our ANAKKULAM camp

kochacha
on d past onam holydays v had a camp @ anakkulam,a place near moonnaar.

i bliv its 1 of th must see places 4 a nature lover,
unfortunately that place couldnt appear on th tourism map because transportation facilities s almost nil(also no means f communication ).

the roads bcom streams in th rainy season.
jeep s th only vahicle dat can travel through that terrain.
th journey was very uncomfortable(even made me vomit).

the 5 day camp was meant 4 social service,lyk clearing th roads,
managing water flow etc,

everyday aftr lunch we had trekking,


ther was so mch adventr dat sm tyms v faced death
( one step mis, get into hte heavy down pouring water n then 2 the rocks sm 30 m down)
a watrfall ther s one of th largest in kerala.

for our program offcers, it was quite a difficult task to control sm 45-50 students(+-20 girls),
through those ways which lead us into
th silent darknes f d thick forest(said 2 b havn elephants, tigers n bears)
slipery huge rock stratas,
wild steams with cold sparkling water(its pure also) n oval stones,
through the tribal colony,
over the hilltops ,
smtyms we(some of us) had to climb vertically up with roots of trees as a support ,
v proceeded fearing the blood suckn leaches ,
attyms our vision was covered by fog....


its my first such xperience in lyf ( aftr several long yrs bounded in th 14 acres of Navodaya).
aftr th treck,
boys usd 2 bath in the river(on the othr syd f rivr ther s thick forest ,
@ night clustr f wild elephants coms 2 the place in d river wer v usd 2 swim) ,
on the bank we used 2 play soccer with th local ppl, by th tym its almost dark ,

v return to ht school wher v wer supposd 2 stay.
uptil dinner(10.00) v had sm cultural programs (participatn f each 1 is a mst- i appeard in dancing, singing n dramma-) .

it washedout a big part f th crowd fear reserve in me. n i felt so mch relievd...

ther s mch mor to say.

even th words fail 2 defyn the scenerios often v realiz how silly ugly small thing v r ,
at the glance of ,

-th huge quantum f water taking 'MOKSHAM ' at th falls...
-the incredibl heights f sahyan...
-unimaginabl beauty f th woods...

kochacha hope ur preparatns 4 exam s goin on well
i thank u verymch if u found sm tym to read this big junk,
i nevr had a thought f writn such a long mail,
n havnt ever writtn 1 such long.

Dear Aaromal,
Happy New Year!
I'm not sure,whether your kochachan read your post!:)
Anyways I enjoyed reading your description of nature!
I felt the beauty of the silent night,
The freshness of cool sea breeze,
The depth of the vast blue sea
And the enchanting melody of the waves!
Keep writing! Keep Rocking!
Sasneham,
Anu
