A bike trip to Karanampalayam dam..

Oct 28, a Friday after Diwali.. Me, Senthil, Selva, Arun & Karthi..

As usual, on Diwali day(wednesday), we tried getting tickets for Movie.. But this time, its really bad.. We couldn't get even a single ticket for 7-am Arivu in any of the theatres(We haven't tried to get a ticket to Velayudham at all).. Really got pissed off and decided to watch the movie on Saturday..

I was held up with some office work and deliverables on Thursday.. The complete day goes in that.. And then comes Friday.. I got up @ 9AM and just done with my morning duties and found the remote.. There comes the call from Arun.. "Machan, enaiku SPOT-ku povom".. That's arun's way of saying an outing.. I really got interested and immediately said ok.. Then I asked for the place and he said some place.. It really din't register in my mind.. I haven't got out with them so far in my days in Erode.. So I was really excited.. Badly, my father started early to office that day.. So couldn't get the bike from him.. But we had enough bikes to go..

Senthil, Arun, Mohan and Karthi came to my home in the afternoon.. As usual, the plan is to start by 12, but we ended up starting by 2(Punctual guys - including me).. At last the ride begins.. Me and Arun in his Apache.. Senthil and Karthi in theirs.. and Luckily, it was drizzling mildly and the climate was really awesome.. I completely enjoyed the ride.. It was around 25 Km from home.. We reached Karanampalayam in 30 minutes.. And that place was too good than I expected.. We had a small walk amidst the banana and sugarcane farms to reach the Dam..

Had a pleasant view of the waters from a distance and had a small chit-chat(vetti kathaigal than..) in the shores.. Then we started towards the waters.. We found a rock amidst the waters to sit and dipped our foots in the chilled water.. Had some photo clicks obviously.. There is where I saw a lot of  fishes jumping against the water stream for the first time.. The forceful water and the jumping fishes surrounding us was really a pleasant view.. Moreover, that place is not crowded and completely surrounded by green farms.. It was a long time, I have been like this.. It makes me remember my school days when I used to go with some of my other friends to rivers and farms with my parents knowing.. I felt how much I was really missing in my life staying away from such a lovely place to live..

We spent some good time in karanampalayam dam and started our next visit to some other place(I don't remember the name and arun said its a view point..).  But it was a real tragic comedy.. For going to the place, we asked the railway gate keeper to open the way and all.. But what we ended up seeing there is a just a graveyard.. We gave some gasty looks and started to move from there with laughter..

Then we started to "Padakuthurai" in "Solar".. On the way, we went to Selva's house and had some delicious diwali sweets/savouries there(Nalla sema kattu).. Then we started our ride to Solar.. There also, we were made fools..By the time we went there, the temple over there got closed and ended up returning to our homes with our heads down.. We all finally reached Arun's house and rested there for some time.. Suddenly one of use talked about eating fish.. Getting tempted, we decided to go to town to eat Fish fry.. Arun was suggesting some places.. We started to town after some time and reached the Fish shop..  We had some spicy hot fish fries with some cool school day stories and laughters.. That ends the day out and everyone ended up reaching home around 8PM..

Though its not a planned trip.. I enjoyed each minute I spent that day..  Had a nice time after a long period..
