Day 1 of "Our Discovery of India" brought us to the southern most tip of India - Kanyakumari! Not a very pleasant drive from Ernakulam to Kanyakumari - 300 kms; however, no complaints, it's all part of the game. Unpleasant drive - simply bcoz it's a 2-lane road all the way from Ernakulam to Kanyakumari and with the heavy density of traffic, people crossings, intersections, etc....driving gets very arduous and stressful, indeed! Anyways, having got to Cape Comorin (the old name for Kanyakumari), the feel-good factor in being at this beautiful part of Incredible India warms the heart. The Triveni sangam - the 3 mighty Oceans converge here; the Vivekananda Rock memorial and the stupendous Tiruvalluvar statue are all sights to behold! The Vivekananda Rock Memorial was built in 1970. Swami Vivekananda was said to have attained enlightenment on this Rock. The Tiruvalluvar statue was inaugurated on Jan. 01st, 2000. This 133-feet tall Statue was built in honour of the Tamil Poet and Scholar, Tiruvalluvar, so well known for his literary masterpiece, "Thirikural". Many refer to him as Saint Tiruvalluvar!You can spend hours just staring mindlessly at the beautiful Oceans, it is mesmerising, indeed! A glass of white spirits would take the experience to a higher level! 😀 I am to sure whether the waters of the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal are of different colours, but whatever it is, you can clearly see blue and shades of blue and green....it could be an illusion...nevertheless, it is magnificent! The much-hyped about "Sunset@the Cape" was a bummer, thanks to a cloudy evening Sky. So, that's it....my co-passenger and me are in good spirits...excited, and, keenly awaiting the road ahead! Stay with us......🙏
