The weather was nice and I'd an errand to run. It was a quick day to be spent at my sister's at Palakkad. The roads are much, much better than what they were a few months back. So, as soon as I'd returned from work and after a quick lunch, we'd hit the road without ado.
Almost at the midpoint of our journey, we usually spend sometime at a wayside farm run by the government that combines a nursery with an outlet for farm products/implements and a coffee shop that provides a variety of popular and typical Malayali snacks. It's an ideal place to shake off the boredom(?) that might creep into a long journey and to freshen up, as the rest rooms are well maintained, dry and clean!
This time was no exception as we drove into the farm that boasts of a good ambience. The attendants who're familiar with us, looked after us and thankfully, there wasn't much of a crowd at that point of time. As we set off on our onward journey, after wishing the office bearers and staff a merry Christmas, the young lady at the counter very sweetly tells us that she'd have our favourite snacks ready on our return trip and gave her number to inform her about our exact time of arrival!
It's my fervent hope that the farm continues to thrive for the years to come and attract more and more travellers, so that it becomes a universally favourite spot!!
