One lakh islands - Lakshadweep



I can still feel the gush of winds and hear the waves of green-blue Ocean. There are no words to complete anybody’s imagination. After this little gyan let me present to you the subject of talk here- “Lakshadweep” which means a one lakh islands, OMG! What a place.. I have not travelled abroad to say this is the best that is in the world, but I can definitely say this place is the best that I have seen be it from my eyes, pictures, movies or anything.
Let me describe you about this heaven, it was a dream come true for me as I had been thinking of this place from 4 years now. And finally I get the chance to actually be there. First of all its not a commercial tourist place so there are no much travel options from Bangalore except through air, so me and my hubby set off from Bangalore to Agatti – which is the only island in Lakshadweep with airport and when we landed we saw a thin strip of land which is one end of the island and we saw both ends of water.
The scenic view from airplane is the most exotic piece of picture I have ever seen. The green blue waters like you have found a piece of jewel in the middle of an ocean, like you are stranded and find this piece of land to breath.
You must have seen a lot of movies where people get lost and land up in an uninhibited island- I got the same feeling. We stayed in a small cottage with the wind pushing in my face 24/7 like it was reminding its presence every second, like it’s the messenger to inform beforehand about the mighty ocean.
As I stood at the walkway bridge towards the sea, I saw eternity. The waters had its language to speak; the silver fishes swam against the green water, a dozen big and beautiful turtles would float on the surface with their yellow neck popping up for air, the jelly fishes innocently float away, the fishermen would try hard on their luck from the infinite waters, the sunsets so tranquil, the underwater had a billion creatures living thinking it was still like the beginning of the world.
As the night set its tent pitch dark, the quick crabs would play around like it’s their world now. Its darkness, invisible waves, nocturnal world and peace at my heart.
People living her would smile at no matter who you are, their eyes so innocent like human, like purity, like truth. I believe some angels guard this treasure island.
I wish I belong here - to the creation, the nature, the truth, the sand and water, the beginning and the end.
