Boat carrying goods
On Sunday we had some work at our Trikaripur branch, Sameer, Nuseef and I decided to turn the boring official life in to picnic. So, Instead of taking train we took Sameer’s Pulsar 150 and my TBTS. At 1300hrs we finished our works, Rasheed who is working as a mechanic at Trikaripur branch also joined us with his FZ, he was our guide, he knows the area very well, because he belongs to the place called Padana near to this spot.
House Boat
First we took lunch then headed towards the undiscovered picnic spot of “Veliyaparamba” which located just 4.5 Km from Trikaripur. 5 Kms from cheruvathur, nearest railway station is Trikaripur but only local train will stop here otherwise one can detrain at Cheruvathur and has to be travel by road.
Small Islands
Bridge under construction
Veliyaparamba is fed by four rivers and dotted with many small islands. Kerala State water transport authority running regular boat services to Payyanur and other places, apart from this some resorts provides hose boat services for the tourist it costs 8,000 INR for one day including food. When we reached here large barricade welcomed us. We parked our motorcycles nearby and get inside the barricade there some Tamil workers are busy with constructing heavy bridge on back waters. First we took some snaps from top of the bridge and enquired with these people for the boat service they informed us boat gone to island side if you need then you have to whistle. Rasheed and Nuseef try to whistle but except us nobody can hear their sound. At last Nuseef succeeded to convince the tamil workers, their supersonic whistle made a magic on the back water that small boat started to come from opposite side….
I am ready.......
Rasheed and Nusif
We rushed near water to welcome the boat, and eagerly looking at the small dot appearing on opposite side, minute by minutes its start to appear larger and larger yes that is a small boat and its owner cum driver Mr. Ashraf. It took whole 10 minutes to reach one shore to another. Nuseef is a such a person never wants to waste a single second, whole 10 minutes he gave a lecture on draw backs of traveling on such small boats and also tired to fear me like, if we met an accident out of four persons three will survive but one can’t, and also looked at me with great sorrow and told “we are very sorry we are not able to rescue you due to your overweight” etc.
At sea shore
Boat owner Ashraf took small class for Sameer on “how to yawn the boat” now we are ready to travel on the boat. After traveling 2 minutes Sameer is master the technique and boat automatically gain speed. Ashraf is very talkative, hence he never missed the golden opportunity to criticize the Kasaragod Malayalm and also complained about Nuseef’s whistling and says it’s like a dogs barking.
Monkey Business
On the way
This island consists some small and medium size houses, a temple, mosque, school, political party office and small shops. When we asked direction for the beach with some natives they told us “here you can travel any ware, no restriction at all, here peoples are united etc…… Oh god again taunt for Kasaragod ? When we reached the opposite side of the island sea shore welcomed us its looks like a deep so we didn’t tried. After spending one hour Ashraf came again to pick us and we returned back.
