Trivandrum Travelogue-VALIYATHURA PALAM alias വലിയതുറ പാലം

Again an act of  adventure for usual peoples and just a  routine for small kids residing near the palam(bridge) ie walking under the valiyathura bridge is of great fun for the,city-born and brought up guys who may wonder with the activities done by the school kids, mostly hanging over the plastic rope after jumping from bridge and again getting back to position by hanging over the rope and getting to the chathurangam like concrete construction underneath the bridge.Interesting thing is that when i was  walking underneath the bridge four kids studying in 8th,6th,5th were taking a quick rest for the next take i asked them whether the rope is strong so that 80kg wil be held by it,but interestingly those guys asked me brother do you swim?it made me very angry and i just jumped in that dress itself..I drowned and some fishermen were pouring with foul words but it was not a surprise for me who was well experienced with these sort of acts from college itself ...........






 Here the shape of valiyathura bridge is given infact this bridge was used for frieght and fishing,that impression of the tram way lines are now also visible.Proper time to spend here is in the late nights but for family they can spend between 5pm-6pm,the salty breeze which has got a high thrust may even push to  sea or even take off  your clothes,the scenery every body must see is during the late night  you can see the whole ocean is electrified with street lights,but the fact is that like mirage it is the lights of boats which has gone for fishing...
