Morning i got up at 6:30 wen both shashi n nabeel had gottten up n talking......den we got fresh and again had same chapatis wat sneha had got!!!!but the chatni pudi got over very soon!!!!somehow we managed to eat the chapatis alone!!!we reached TVM at 12:15 or so....Nabeel went home directly n rest of us walked till Hotel Thamburu International and checked in which apparently had been booked by Parvati's dad. Got ready by 2 and went 4 lunch to Ariya Nivas nearby where we had to wait 4 30 min to get d food!!!! Since 5 of dem took full meals,we 9 shared wit dem!!!!!the guy who was serving ,was simply smiling at us!!!!Then we went to Kovalam Beach in the bus whr Nabeel joined us....coulndnt have much fun this time as compared to last time as it was raining n many of dem insisted on going to the Light House....so most of us went to the Light House only to find it locked :( Den we left the beach around 7 did some shopping.....some ppl went to the hotel directly n shashi,meenaksi,chaithanya,
7 th morning we got up early n went to Anatha Padmanabha Swamy temple .....dis was my 4th visit to the temple but had a bad experience dis time :(
We were supposed to wear mundu to enter the temple....i wore a white duppata .....but d temple guys didnt allow me to enter the temple ..dey insisted me to to rent d mundu !! i resisted but in vain...had an argument but my friends pacified me and i had to go rent it :( Exploitation has come down even to d temples is the irony !!!!! After d temple visit we went back to hotel n got ready 4 Parvati's marriage...Sneha n Minakshi helped me tie the saree :)Shashi got jasmine flowers for me n sneha as we were wearing saree !!! den we headed to Alakapuri Auditorium where the marriage was held...This was a very new experience !!!I had never been to a Malyali's marriage!!!The stage decoration was very good and very traditional...Renjith was a bit nervous i guess but Parvati seemed very happy ....dey made such a nice couple!!!!as soon as the marriage got over,we headed 4 lunch...it was a sumptous meal!!!!very different and traditional....after lunch we changed in d hotel n left 4 Kanyakumari.....Archana went to her native.
