March & April went just like that without anything specific to write here.. except a couple of regular trips to hometown. April month I was working/on-call all weekends.. Went home for Vishu for 2 days. But the whole atmosphere was dull. Somehow the festival mood was missing...
Next trip, Reached home on 2nd May 2009 morning.. This year Thirssur Pooram was on 3rd May, Sunday. I was lucky enough to spend the weekend at Thrissur during pooram.. I reached TCR around 11:30am on Sat.. Spent whole day at Paramekkavu temple 'Aanapparambu'. Thanks to my friend Vinai who helped me to get inside the entry restricted area. Clicked a lot of Elephant snaps also.. met many fellow 'Aanapranthans' too.. Then went to CMS school where Thiruvambadi temple elephants were 'parked'.. :-) They were exhibiting all the main elephants in the Thekkinkad Maidan. So my job was easy.. clicked photos of all.. light was fading and that started affecting image quality. So decided to return. Reached home by 10 and had a nice sleep at home.. Went back to Thrissur on Sunday morning.. spent whole day attending all functions.. traditional drums (Chenda & panchavadyam) are the main attractions of Pooram & of course Elephants.. All famous elephants from diff parts of kerela will be there.. We were a gang of around 10 ppl including m of my fiends and father. Had a great time there. Returned from Thrissur on Monday morning after fireworks..
That was a perfect Weekend escape for me.. after days of hard & exhaustive work..
