A colorful Ganesh temple
Last week, I got to
travel to some relative's house to present an invitation to my brother's
marriage (Nov 26th) along with the parents, cousin, and uncle, and a few of them were
distant relatives similarly staying at a distance of about 60 to 70 km from our
location. So my parent thought that it would be an opportunity to take me out as
I haven’t traveled anywhere (other than going on a half-day trip to
Mamallapuram last month) since the announcement of lockdown in March. One of a
relative’s house located on ECR got a colorful Ganesh temple (pic above) at the end of their road.
I hadn’t taken my
wheelchair along with me, and I haven’t intended to visit anybody, as I haven’t
done it after a stage, and they are our relatives we seldom visited. And above
all, this is a period to better stay away, as my intention had been only
traveling, it doesn’t matter anyway. We traveled on roads that we rode many
times in the earlier days, brought me a nostalgic feel, and make feel wonder looking
at the changes that happen everywhere. Some things are unchanged for good to
feel relaxed, like the Mamallapuram – Thirukalukundram road with enough greenery and
country life.
I couldn’t see things around me after some time, as we spent a lot of
time at Mamallapuram and it being our ancestral town we have many relatives there
and when we move out of the town it turned evening and quickly get into the dark
to block me from many views. After a long time, I come across a railway
crossing and waiting some time for a couple of trains to pass, and it was a joy
I long missed because many places I have traveled had flyovers and subways to
move at swift. I took photos of things that I find interesting, and many of them
were sky shots that I could share sometime later on the blog.
