I thought, if I write the everything about that journey, surely it will have more to read, so I thought to write until the day one in Tanjore and thought to write another blog which has remaining part, followed by this one.
A rush way to reach home from my office to get back to the Railway station in time, there was few more hour to start the journey. I would have been missing this journey since I didn’t confirm my presence with my friends those who made all the arrangements for this journey. Finally I got a chance to travel with them.
Around 19:30 of pleasant day, reached Railway station, train was scheduled to departure at 20:20. Each one of us reached in time with some materials which need to be carrying for the workshop. Got hungry to have something, had some dosa and junk foods.
Train arrived in the platform, rushed to the bogie where our seats were allocated. AC two tier bogie, we reached our seats and then we had some discussion about workshop presentation. It was time to sleep since we would have been to reach early morning to our destination, Trichy (Tiruchirapalli). We had to go from Trichy to Tanjore via road service since our train ticket booked up to Trichy destination.
Around 04:30 of next day, we reached Trichy. Two guys from SASTRA University (Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy) have been reached there to receive us. It was so pleasant to be there. We had a travel from Trichy to Tanjore by traveler tempo van. It took almost 2 hour journey from Trichy to Tanjore. Roads were covered with fog; we were unable to see anything around the road. We reached Hotel Gnanam – Tanjore around 06:30 same day. We suppose to get ready to reach SASTRA within few hours, had a plan to start 07:30 from hotel.
Around 07:30, each one of us got ready to start. There were three more people from SASTRA with us for guidance from hotel to SASTRA University. It’s a huge university; we got a warm welcome by the students and teachers. There was a lecture and introduction about ALERT organization to the SASTRA students, more than 300 students were in the auditorium. The whole day was an excellent experience. Surely it will be a memorable day in my life. We took some pictures with SASTRA students those who really helped us to make this workshop possible in SASTRA. We really thankful to them to made SASTRA to know about ALERT organization.
Around 21:00, all the workshops and work has been over and we reached hotel. It was dinner time! We were six people of ALERT and two from SASTRA had dinner together in the same Gnanam hotel. Then we had a plan to go to the movie near by that hotel. We went to a talkie called “Arul” and the Tamil movie was “Inthiralogathil Na. Azhgappan”. We came out of movie in the interval itself, we were unable to watch that movie. We ran away from talkie and got a vehicle to reach hotel. It was almost 00:30 of next day; we were chat till 02:30 and gone to bed and had a nice sleep.
It was my first day in Tanjore, very memorable day in my life.
