Christmas Holidays and New year Holidays

Chaliyar_RiverWe all like to have Christmas holidays. I never has an opportunity to travel when I was a kid. Most of my holiday memories in in my mothers house or aunts house. Pluck mangoes and cashew nuts and eating it. We use to roam around all those areas. Another my holiday memories is catching fish and wild birds at the river behind my house. The river is known as Chaliyar  river It is one of the big river and we kids will go and keep trap for birds inside the forest. Some times people seen leopard there and they will inform the Forest Guard to catch them. Recently I visited there and I could not believe that I use to travel all over this forest alone in my child hood days to do fishing and catch wild birds. Only in that age. not any more.
