Kanyakumari, the southern most tip of India our beloved motherland. Had been there during December 2009 as part of our trip to Tamil Nadu with family. It had been a pretty good trip starting from Bangalore -> Trichy -> Tanjore -> Piliyarpatti -> Rameshwaram -> Tiruchendur -> Kanyakumari -> Madurai -> Bangalore.
We reached Kanyakumari just post lunch and spent time hanging around the rocks waiting for beautiful sunset it's famous for.
When the time came, we were pretty disappointed as there was a mist over the sea waters and the sun god disappeared in a cloud of mist way above the sea waters.
And then we spent the evening without much ado and went to bed in the hope that the morning would give us a delightful sight of a big red sun coming out of the sea like an orange. But, no, that was not to happen. Again the mist played a spoil sport and watching a good sunrise at Kanyakumari remained only a dream.
On the way back to Bangalore from Madurai, once we reached Hosur, after a little nap during the ride in the afternoon, I opened my eyes to look out of the window of the car to see a big red sun setting in the horizon. Wow, I said and showed it off to the rest of the folks. The sunset was beautiful, but still disappointed that it was not in Kanyakumari. Will try again another time hopefully.
