That was a long awaited journey for us. Taking Ikey for the first time to our home town in Kerala. There were lot of people awaiting to see him for the first time. We were thrilled, but little worried on whether the journey will make him uncomfortable. However, he was all good and enjoyed the trip.
So it took 2.5 hours extra than we usually need to travel. We started off at 4:15 am in the morning. Wrapped him and assigned sift wise care from Ani and Mummy.
Me and Ani enjoyed the drive always. In-fact, Ani was so excited as she is having the first long journey after an year. And that reflected. It was fun talking and discussing various things in this world, all through the journey.
Mummy used to be uncomfortable during the car journey. However, as Ikey was in her arms, she forgot about everything else. Engaging him and telling him about the things around, she too enjoyed the moments.
Surpassing the Western Ghats and approaching the Tamilnadu-Palakkad border, lies this signage. Welcome To Kerala State.
This was the primary character in our journey's photography script. Ani noted this before and suggested to have a click with Ikey at this point.
The sad part is that it reminds how things are kept under ignorance by the Kerala authorities. How much will it take to paint it and keep it clean?
The one factor of Bangalore-Kerala journey remained the same. The pit-stop at Saravana Bhavan hotel. We didn't want to miss it for any reason. So we took a break...
The ultimate combination as far as I am concerned for breakfast. Fresh crispy vada + Ghee roasted pongal + signature sambar + Freshly grinded coconut chutney. Happiness!
The energy booster. After a 6+ hours of drive, this coffee does the magic
Ani's favorite Ghee Roast + Sides
Mummy's Favorite Masala Dosa + Sides. I tried to click the masala mix inside :)
Ani is never happy with her first order. So came the second one. The pyramid ghee roast + sides.
I never ignore a good restaurant nor forget to appreciate. Long live!
On the way, Ani noticed a palm fruit seller. Her grandma loves it. And she wanted to get some for her. So a pit-stop which is not in the script.
Showcased to lure in the customers. And Ani fell in it.
Practice makes a person perfect. He prepares the order in seconds.
I don't like this anyway. But Ani tasted it and said it was yummy.
A special trip for us and for all our dear ones.
