@8.30pm
while on my way to the Mess for dinner, i was grumbling like anything to my friend on the phone..i do not wish to stay back this week..that too on a saturday...being alone is like living in the HELLLLL....
I shud find a place wherein i can go and come back in few hrs if at all i get a call frm my boss...where to go??????

@9.30pm
realised that there is one place, where i may not be expelled out for any reason....

@ 10.15pm
prepared a rough travel plan, getting some details on the bus routes from one of my colleague...
@11.00pm
Here iam....with a travel bag....on my way to Aliyar, a very nice hill station near Pollachi...planning to visit "Arivu thirukoil"....an ashram of Vedhathri Maharishi....
@11.30pm
got into a bus to Coimbatore...
@2.30pm
Coimbatore..Gandhipuram bus stand.....I like kovai for two reasons...
1. I have spent one year of my childhood here
2. Hometown of one of my best friend
Things noticed
1. How many bus stands totally??? for pollachi, i need to go to uakkadam.for trichy, i need to go to singanallur....!!!!!
2. Gandhipuram bus stand is very small with very few platforms
3. the bell system on the local buses
4. After almost 18yrs iam touching kovai
Took a bus to pollachi

@4.30am
reached pollachi. semi silent bus stand. waited till 5.15 for a bus to Aliyar.. as this is my first visit to the place, wondered huv much time it would take for me to reach the place

@5.15am
In the bus to aliyar. dark outside.Cool morning breeze. Road surrounded on both the sides by trees

@6.00am
Reached aliyar. when i stepped out of the bus, it was dark. Hills . trees. a tea shop with a kerosene lamp. few locals standing on the sides of the road. A forest ranger on his wasy into the forest for counting animals...took a cup of tea and headed towards Arivu thirukoil....half a km walk on the hills...Fog...It started becoming bright..........Here it is .........THE HEAVEN....

@6.30am
After enquiries at the security, i was allowed inside. Iam unable to find any word to describe the beauty of the place. Its on the backside of the Aliyar dam. a small canal on the side with hill water (could smell the freshness and the sand it took alongwith) flowing inside the dam. on the foothills fully surrounded by beautiful trees.....Heaven

@6.45am
Joined the Q to get a cup of tea
alone
No words inside me
I have nothing to communicate to anyone out there
took tea
took bath

@7.45am
Sat on the steps
alone
peace
trees and hills in front of me
was starring at them
did nothing

@8.45am
went to the meditation hall
meditated

@10.00am
came out
visited maharishi's Jeeva samadhi
wandered outside

@10.30am
sat on the grass
Peace
Peace
Peace
Peace inside

@11.00am

Iam out
Back to earth

I am at present involved in one of the Manavalakalai mandram of Vedhathri Maharishi and have found a true meaning to life as well as obtained inner peace and strength. Looking forward to visit Arivu Thirukoil for my Brahma Gnanam. This is truely a one time opportunity in our lives and I am really gifted to be part of Vedhathri Maharishi's philosophical group. Vazhga Vaiyagam, Vazhga Valamudan!!!
