It is an inspiring feeling when you travel far from your home. Observing the wonders and history of the places you visit will never vanish from your brain. This is somewhat such an experience while I traveled to a closest tourist attraction in south...

My knees and back started to ache like an aged person. We were standing inside the train and we bend now and then to see the spectacular landscape views which are mostly covered with fog. I wished we had come a little bit early or skipped the chat with Caroline so we would be sitting on a window seat right now. As the train started to move, the engine could be heard from a long distance. It was as ancient train with a dozen colours painted for a modification. The screaming sound of the wheels is too much irritation other than the painful standing journey. I couldn't enjoy it very well where as I wished I hadn't taken the ride in the first place.
The train moved slowly through the misty path. But all the suffering and drama vanished with a second when the enormous view of the landscape fell upon my eyes. The immaculate creation of the Almighty was a million times better than viewing it on a screen. The rails were adjacent to the steep of the cliffs we passed. I was afraid to stare at the deepest of the grounds when my conscious told me we could fall into it anytime now. The horror reached inside my brain and pulled all the connected nerves and screamed wildly forcing me back to the seats. I looked at the passengers nearby to see their reaction too. They had no fear in watching at it. They haven't even noticed the frequent quivering of the train. The wheels screamed very often. Every other tourist danced along with the movement of the compartment. The children weren't frightened of the thrilling journey the engine chose for us. Anyway, I wished the ride ends soon so I could breathe fine air finally.
A few moments later, the train stopped. Everyone got off at the station. I searched for Caroline but unfortunately they must've fled from the spot.
It started to rain lightly as we walked to a closer bus stop to get back to the point where we began our terrible but fascinating mountain ride. We got on a bus that was partially filled with the locals. As soon as we reached the place the crowd we saw previously celebrating the release of their CM weren't no more celebrating anything. They were furious, wild beasts blocking every local and state transportation services. Something had happened to burst their anger on public properties. Ejaz and I were shocked as we saw them headed toward us. I trembled. These people are insane for a reason. Later that day, we knew that the bail was false news and frankly, she the court didn't stand by her side. Instead, the court denied the request and that led to the heart of the state to erupt harshly.
We instantly got on a Kerala State bus and decided to return immediately as possible. On the way out of the station, our bus was blocked for a few minutes when the police arrived and helped our way out the town. It was a huge relief to us that we didn't stuck there for another day because we could be begging others to send us more cash to stay wherever it was cheaper and get the hell out of there.
This really was meant to be a magnificent journey which should've given us the entire satisfaction of being there a while and enjoying the whole place for a week at least. It is one of the beautiful and astonishing places where I'd promptly suggest anyone who needs a better refreshing time of their life. This place gives you the feel of being in another wonderful country and keeps you want to come back more another time sooner or later.
****THE END ****
