Travelogue-The memorable sunday

Dear Emi,
Your determination, Unless It would become a dream always....I’m bowing my head before your great efforts and passion to realise the Dreams!
Shall I dedicate this bunch of words to you!

Dear JY
We requested to our jeep driver, By his mercy we travelled down to the Idamalayar in that night...Emi and me sitting in the back...both slipped in to sleep....holding hands on the bar and supporting our tired face on the arms.... Jeep was moving slowly down through the forest ways....(Travelogue-Midnight Crisis)

Our Night Journey ends at our Sudhan chettan’s verandha...Like ‘kannas and kadalaa’s we laid on the verandha...But our sleep were disturbed by the cool high range wind ...Da ,Yezhunekkado, Time is 5’o clock...I woke up by his irritating call....Your Watch may be wrong...We disturbed Mr.Sudhan in his good sleep, and got the probable place where we could get the Pump... “Cheladu Oru Achayan undu...If he didn’t go to church..You would get the pump...” “Daivame Achayan innu Palliyil pokalle....( !!).”..He rotate the key ,..both were sitting in the front of the jeep...Sunrays were falling through the leaves... On the way,driver was telling the name of some junctions (to know either whether we were sleeping or he was!)...Stopped somewhere for a Morning tea...Jeep turned the way left to the main road near to Cheladu Church...We reached his(Pump operator) house after asking the location to the locals....At that time he was giving Kaadi water to his Domestics... We told our need and worry...We amazed by his knowledge of the Thaalukandam Village and the Pond...We helped him to take the Big Pump and safely placed on the Jeep...We got one more tea from his house....As the vehicle moved ,we passed a smile to the family.....We reached back to the village around 8’o clock morning...Pratish, Jobin and Bobin were busily arranging the room for the Camp...Liby and Saaju were taking initiatives for the food...
Operator took the supply from the pump house and throw the flexible pipe to the water...Turned on the Motor...water was flushing down to the field....All faces were glittering with the Providance.. .Pratish told “Da we must go to each house again”. Other wise they won’t come..Like in our One day programs, we reached out to the houses again without any shyness....On the way we saw a man walking fast to the camp, with his children...It was good omen for us to know, how the people were taking our call....Athu njangalle cheriya oru ahamgaarikal aakki...
Music ministry under the leadership of Jimesh along with Dr.Anson and Dharmagiri sisters were arrived on time... ( Dr Sajitha chechi, Sister Milton, Jaise, Saumya, Lea, Sanjoy, Prince, Ajjo, Basil, Treesa,AF, Jayadeep ) All were happy with our arrangements. .. “Kaani showed his presence in the morning itself....Forest range officials came by holding the tail of Macian’ jeep...Around 80 people attended the Camp...Doctors put their Stealth(Athu missile alle) in the ear...closely hearing the worries and pain...prescribing medicines... ..giving awareness to the epidemics and Our people were extending their hands for its smooth going.....
Full of.....
Atlast we saw the bottom of the Pond...Full of rocks ....We went down to the pond to clean....Youth of the village also were with us...Some where standing on the top and giving instructions. ..Emi and jobin were working hard to clean the side of the pond and putting efforts to remove the rocks from the pond..I was playing in the muddy water...Da..Mushi(Fish) Pokunnada....They looked at me (Avarkku Ishttapettilla) ..I looked at another fish...Da..One Mr.Varaal...But things were not went as we wished...rocks were too heavy to remove from the pond...Sun moved near to the top of us..Sweat was flowing down....We washed the side of the pond with the fresh water and at the end the cleaning agent too....
We came up of the pond...All went to the water tank like a political rally...tank was on the top of a hill, Sorry Mountain...We carried the coconut ‘Thondu’ to clean the tank..On the way we ate some Parangi pazham...jumped in to the water tank(6x3) and started the cleaning with a water play...Tribal Youths were actively involving in the service...A one hour job....sat close to the water tank with stretched legs and tongue outside at the end...add the cleaning agent to the water...Somebody cut some coconut leaves and Put on the top of the tank....
In the Community centre Music Ministry of JY was conducting a beautiful program for them...after had their lunch..They did Skits & Music’s for them...Sorry I don’t know much about that....We took the lunch....Time was running fast...we had a small get together infront of the community center...People was telling..This should continue...villager s were looking towards us with gratitude... Then We had a small concluding thanksgiving prayer.... Jeep was started for the LH trip...They waved their hands to them...
The last bus from Idamalayar was at 5:30pm...We were not sure of getting the bus...Liby and Saaju were still bathing near to the Well...We walked fast through the forest ways...time had already crossed 5:30....We decided to stay that night at Sudhan’s residence... But the Bus was still waiting there for us at the Junction...Conducto r pressed the bell...Sat near to Jobin...One more time I looked back to the Hill..and asked to him... This is our last journey...Isn’t?
I can now believe it as a story Only, Like Once up on a time. JY had an out reach to forest...... ...

Subin

Alla,Nammude Chettan yevide...kanunillal lo....Ithu kettanu njan kulathil ninnum mukalilekku nokkiyathu.. ..Oh Chettan ivide undayirunno!
Niram (Color) kandittu ,Njan vicharichu valla Adhivaasi pyannum ayirikkum ennu..!!
I found difficult to cover my shyness...I smiled at her showing my front teeth having 10Angstrom gap!
