Day 3: Back to Kochi

The alarm woke me up at 3:30. I quickly got ready and woke up Jithin. By this time Jithin's mother made me tea and Pathal ; a special dish of the region (you should note that the time was 4:00 am and his mother did all this within 15 min or so)๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜.
Jithin dropped me in the bus stand. I was waiting for the bus and that's when it struck me, I don't have enough money to travel๐Ÿ˜–. I quickly ran to the nearby atm. Luckily the atm machine was showing some kind of error๐Ÿ˜“. I touched here and there on the screen and after wasting 3 SBI transactions I got out the money I wanted. I ran back to the bus stand as I watched in horror as the bus was leaving the bus stand. But somehow I got in.
The bus took me till Kozhikode and from there I took an Ernakulam SF.



It was 6 am when the bus took off. It was one of the most enjoyable bus rides I have ever had. The time, the light, the breeze, the greenery..... all contributed to this.
You could see small girls of age 7-8 walking down the road wearing black Pardha. They were playing with one another. It was such a lovely scene๐Ÿ˜˜. In cities, parents won't allow their 12-year-olds to go across the street. Here people aren't scared of others. No one wants to harm others and everyone trust everyone.
I saw a boy helping his grandmother go to a temple.
Many other small but stunning scenes caught my eyes during the journey, I felt Joyous.
Usually, I fall asleep after 30min into the journey but today was different. I didn't sleep until I reached the end of Thrissur District.
As soon as I reached Ernakulam District I fell asleep๐Ÿ˜….
I reached Ernakulam Bus stand by noon and took an auto. This man was not even smiling, he was honking his horn at every other vehicle. The different was clearly visible๐Ÿ˜•.
I got home, there was no one to welcome me. But oh god o god.... I was HAPPY.
That marked the end of my first Solo Journey which spanned almost 60hrs.



The journey gave me many experiences and taught me a lot. I couldn't have done it without My Family and Friends๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Special Thanks to all Gods for looking after me(The real gods and other gods like Food, Music, and Money)

Thanks to Kozhikode Bus Stand for providing such good free accomodation.
Thanks to Indian Railway for providing Wifi and Electricity and Water at very low Cost.



Thanks to Jithin's Family.๐Ÿ˜˜

Last but not the least, thnx to the loving people of Koyikode๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—
