My Childhood Dream

The most happiest moments of my childhood are spent in this beautiful place - Kollam.

There is a saying in Malayalam..

"kollam kandavan illam venda

kochi kandavan achi venda"

meaning is that the one who visit Kollam won't go to his home again.. and those who visit Kochi will forget his wife.

Believe me people Kollam is such a wonderful place you'll be carried away by its pristine beauty.

This is Chinnakada which is at the entrance to Kollam town.

My Childhood Dream was nothing , but to spend my whole life in Kollam.I was brought up in Thiruvananthapuram as my parents are working here. I just disliked everything about this city.For me it was something like a jail . During Saturdays when i have no school , I was locked inside our house when my parents left for office. Being the only child ,I spent my childhood days all alone.

During vacation we'll go to Kollam my mother's place. And we stay there till the end of my vacation. I used to have unforgettable moments their with my cousins. We used to play a lot there. I was crazy about playing with sand. My favourite game was "appam vaa puttu vaa" . We used to make appam with sand mixing in water. Then" hide and seek".And many other games of which i don;t know the names.

The main attraction of going to Kollam was the beach near the house.Every evening my uncle takes me and my cousins to beach.We used to play in the water as much we want. I keep looking at the Sea for hours.The Sea is so deep that we'll never be fed up with it.The beautiful sunsets made the evenings so divine.

The first word that came to mind when i think about the Sea is Deep.

The Sea can be compared with human mind. I find so many attributes common to both. Both of them are deep and unpredictable.
