Random Thoughts of Tram

                               This is one of the interesting travel experiences that I had with the monkeys. Human Mind is like a monkey is the famous quote that has been said in olden days. We human evolved from monkeys and we worship monkey as the incarnation of lord Hanuman, who was a monkey by birth. Now, let me get out of the mythology and set upon the travel experience that I had. There is a famous place in Tamil Nadu, named as Sholingur Temple. Me and my parents went to that temple for praying to god. There were a lot of monkeys in and around the temple. There would be a bamboo stick to threaten monkeys. The monkeys present there has a habit of snatching the things present in the hands of people.                                So, people take this stick and go. They wont harm the monkeys but to avoid them from taking t...

                             Most of the guys like bike riding. I am one exceptional who does not like to ride bikes. The major reason being the fear of accidents and to live long. But, we cannot guarantee that avoidance of riding bikes alone gives long life. The worst thing is that I don't want to die because of riding bike and die in a road accident. I had got a lot of opportunities to ride a bike, yet I avoided them due to this fear. But, I am ready anytime to ride on the bike sitting comfortably when someone else is driving the bike. As, the faith on them is more than myself. On one side, am feeling happy as there is no need to take a tension on riding a bike. But, on the other hand, there is a hatred among myself for not learning driving a bike.                              Though, I know to drive a scooter and have got license by ...

                          We must be proud for getting metro train as transport facility. Many cities were already equipped with these metro train facilities in India and Chennai being the latest entrant among the few cities that have metro facilities, the work under few routes are still under progress but most of the parts of the city is under construction. This was constructed majorly to reduce the time taken to reach between two destination. But, the number of regular users of these metro trains are very less in number. This is majorly due to the higher prices of the ticket.                          As I am travelling regularly in Metro for the past one month, I am able to conclude this statement. The capacity of train is more and not even the seats are being filled. But, what I see most of the time that I travel is the tourist spot metro has created. I...

It is famous for steel plant and the city is located in town of shimoga and the distance of 158 kms from the state capital Bangalore. We mainly tried to visit that place to attend some marriage ceremony. It is mainly derives it name from Bhadra river that flows through the city. We started from Chennai city, since it was a sudden trip, we started with 10 members that included 3 kids and am one among them and the parents and other relatives like uncle, aunt were the remaining members who traveled.                                    This trip happened way back in the year 2007 or 2008 am not sure about the exact year. We somehow managed to get seats for Chennai to...

                                                      Thiruchendur is one of the famous places in Tamil Nadu. It is the place where lord Muruga has defeated the demons. It is a place of mythological importance. The temple of lord Muruga is located near the sea shore. There are a lot of historical importance associated with that place. Though, it was located near sea shore, it was one of the places which was least affected by tsunami in the year 2005. It is located near the southern tip of Tamil Nadu and comes under the Tuticorin district, which is known as pearl city of Tamil Nadu. An epic poem composed in the 17th century known as kapadapuram, relates that Muruga killed the demon named surapadman after a six day battle. The name 'Thiruchendur', originated from the word 'Thiru' meaning sacred as it was b...

                                    Krishnagiri is a lovely city located in the state of Tamil Nadu. It is a district which is bounded by the districts of vellore and Thiruvannamalai. The name Krishnagiri is derived from two names "Krishna" which means Black and Giri which means "Mountain". The district is filled with plenty of marble granite. There is one famous place in Krishnagiri called as Pochampally which is famous for silk sarees. There are further more great things to know about Krishnagiri which I am not going to discuss. I am just going to say about the travel to that place.                                     Three of us, me and fellow classmates, decided to present our final year project in a college in Krishnagiri. So, we decided to go to that place by bus. The native guy went previously and me...

                                This trip happened during the final year of  UG. Usually, we guys used to arrange for the industrial trips. But, in the last semester, there was a split up in the classrooms. And the people were not interested in coming for the industrial visit. We guys got anger on them after doing so much for arranging this industrial visit. So, we decided to go alone for a trip with our gang. We were already busy with conference work of the college. We got the OD form as working for conference and went to Munnar trip. It was such a cold climate and was mostly raining in munnar during that time.                                We were five people who went, was expecting one more guy, but he was not able to come due to his personal issues. Two of my friends went for booking ticket for tatkal. I took care of...

                                These are the incidents that happened during my schooling. My school is very near to my home and I usually travel to school by cycle. I would be very careful while riding cycle and even for crossing the road i would ensure that no one reaches me until i crosses the road. But, there were two occasions in which, the accidents happened, in spite of being careful. The first incident took place, when I was in 9th standard. I was new rider to cycle that time. I need to cross the road and take immediate right. The time was around 7.45am in the morning when this incident took place as it was the time i usually go to school but our school starts at 9 am.                                As usual, I crossed the road ensuring that no one will dash me while crossing. But, that day i was too casual while cross...

                               Cycling is a good exercise. We suddenly went on a trip to kallanai, the ancient dam build in the city trichy. It was an unplanned trip. We decided to cover that place with the help of bicycle. There were around 12 people, who travelled all along. We had people from variety of places, 4 from Andhra, 1 from Kerala and 7 from Tamil Nadu. The overall distance of the journey was about 18 Kilometres approximate  from the place where we resided. My cycle was not in good condition, but still I took it up as a challenge to ride the cycle. Many of those guys exchanged their cycles and they were not suitable for such a long drive.                               We decided to start by  5 pm in the evening. After the initial hiccups, we managed to start by 5.15 pm. After riding some 2 kms, my cycle began ...

                                Train Travel is the most comfortable and cheapest way of transportation, when compared to others. But, the problem with train travel is that, it is not available for all the routes. And the stopping, makes you to take another local bus or taxi to reach your destination. But, it is the travel in which we get to see different people at different times and different experiences. This experience mostly happens on the day trains, were we get to travel in the seater. I did not have much experience in travelling these day trains and mostly I used to travel in night trains, were we get to sleep and get down at our destination in the next morning.                                  I am mainly going to deal with the train in which I traveled the most number of times. That is from Chennai to Mysore. Th...

                          Transportation is one of the service oriented sector provided by government as well as private players. Some of them are roadways, railways, waterways and airways. Airways is the fastest way of transport but very expensive. waterways and railways is not connected everywhere. So, the most reliable way of transportation is roadways. Public transportation is the most feasible among them and buses play a very vital role. when it comes to a shorter distance, the bus journey doesn't matter except for the crowd and traffic concerns. that will get over in approximate of 2 hours. The major concern arises with the long journey.                           There are a lot of transports that are having a advanced booking sessions that would take the stipulated departure time, whereas when we consider certain cities to which frequent buses are a...

An Auto Driver in Chennai, asked to get into Auto, so that he gets his earnings through the ride. It was early in the morning. Since, I had few buses available, I was not ready to get into the Auto. After I got into the bus. I was just imagining what he would have thought about me. He would definitely thought me to be a miser. He might have also scolded me inside his heart. But, the point here is, I was never in the necessity to get into an Auto. I can go relaxer in bus. Moreover, I felt comfortable to travel with many people publicly, rather than myself individually. I prefer public transportation. One more thing, I hated with one Auto Driver. Me my cousins and her son, went to a Pizza Corner and while returning back, we took an Auto. He demanded some amount more than what we usually give. We told that, this is the amount we usually pay. For that, he told that, what mam you are coming from Pizza Shop and not paying extra for me. Since, we are middle class, I don't think so we c...
