A Trip to Jadayu Earth's Centre
A Trip to Jadayu Earth's Centre

It was a new morning. The Sun just blessed the shaggy trees to make the day wonderful. The chirping sound of little birds were annoying me and l opened my eyes in a very short time. The honeysuckle and roses in my garden, just tilted its position
.This day I woke up without the help of my mother's delicate hands,because it was the picnic day. My School ST' Thomas Residential school has conducted a trip to the Adventure zone of Jadayu Earth's centre near Chadayamangalam. Our School is the first school batch to conduct the trip to that destination. It was almost 6:30 am and I washed my face. Oh! it was the time to enjoy. I dressed up quickly by 7:45 and left the home with the tremendous wishes by my parents. We all students were in expectations about this and that. The four new air buses arrived.. and all entered. Stating with prayers the Chaplin blessed all the students in that time. All enjoyed a lot by singing, dancing, taking selfies etc...
We ate our snacks and played a lot.
Oh! Chadayamangalam has arrived. Children were in the anticipation about the tour. We reached our destination. All took their water bottles and valuables with them. The officials, trainers and team members of Jadayu explained a lot about it. They also welcomed us with a great deal of wishes. We were happy now. The security officers scanned our bags and all. We entered our details in the visitor's page. By the time ,the students formed a line. All programs were arranged as per agenda . The students were divided into two batches. Our batch was first going to the adventure zone. All happy wishes turned into showers. All chiming bells turned in merry echoes
We walked a long distance. We felt very tired and became more feeble to overcome. But it was dispelled in a minute by seeing the blossomed and enchanting beauty of the nature. After refreshment,we started to do several adventures in the area. First one was wall climbing, most of the students, including me put the harness and went for a challenge. After that we played shooting and archery, these made us mentally sturdy. After the horizontal ladder ,l played many games like trucking, Commanders net,rappelling , Side Joola and so on.After a strong meal ,we ceased the adventure moments and went to the real Jadayu. After a great deal of safety measures, they gave us a watch that contains PNR Code ,so all can be captured by officials .We travelled in a transparent cable, and it seemed to be traveling in a moderate aircraft. Finally we reached the real Jadayu ,all flew like bees,taking photos, whispering etc...but l was amazed with the wonderful bold writings that it was dedicated to the 'women's respect and safety'. I just thought about the great story Ramayana.
Jadayu was a good sculpture composed by Rajive Anchal and team members. It was not a simple Rock ,there are many mysteries behind it .There is a special lens located at the eyes of Jadayu. We can see the kollam beach through it. There is a small river like structure that dwells and floats every time, it was mentioned that while Jadayu was hurt by the Ravana , for quenching the thirst,Jadayu dipped the stone with his beak for taking water.New modern structures are being planned and built . lt was a fascinating journey and l never saw them before. The splendours of wisdom were scarred in each moments. We left Jadayu by 5:00 and took a high tea at hotel hill way park near by it. But the distress made by desperation and dismal cannot be explained through my small words. The little thoughts embraced my feelings. There was a coverlet in all students that made them more powerful in the adventure Zone. All friends were together all times as a bouquet of flowers. All the class Teachers worked as our companions. At the time of the dispersal we screamed a lot. Anyway life is short ,it is like a mixture of partings,distress etc..
But to enjoy by a short span is doubling our life.
Enjoy all the time
