The Island Trip




As I described in my last post 'Unbudgetful Friends', I was persuaded by my friends to come for the trip to a small river Island near my college. There was a small temple in this Island, it seems. I was worried about the money that I was splurging on Autos, Boats etc:. Yet, the photos proved it worth. I crossed the Mahanadi to see this Island. The temple in the middle of the Island had undergone too much of commercialisation. It made me realise that God was purely put for Sale in this 21st century. For instance, a priest stood on the pathway to put the sandal paste on your forehead. But, after putting it he stretches his palmes to you. "Money Money Money", you know. But, no I didn't enjoy the trip. Like I said, "Money Money Money." Much depends on Money.

The Boat in which we crossed the Mahanadi to reach the Island




On the opposite side of the Island, there was a hanging
Bridge too for the devotees to cross the River.




After the roaming around the Temple, we reached
the banks of Mahandi. Waiting for the Boat, Now.



At a distance, you can see the mainland or my next destination.




As we waited for our boat to come, I clicked this random pic.




Meanwhile, my friends were busy in their Photoshoots.
                                   



Finally, Good Bye Island....
