My attachement to rivers and oceans.
Being born and brought up nearer to the Merina beach in the metro city of Chennai, I always have an inclination towards ocean. So far I have enjoyed beaches in Chennai (Merina), Mumbai (Juhu), Cochin (Cherai) and Kanyakumari where all the three oceans(Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and Indian ocean) meet. Visited this temple (Viswamithra) which is nearer to seashore in Vijayapathi, Tirunelveli nearer to Koodankulam Nuclear power plant. Also in Karnataka I have visited these beaches where they are attached with pilgrim (Murudeswar and Gokarna). But at the same time, I could not take dip bath in the rivers like others in my family who have born and brought up in the villages and always they will make fun when we go to villages and they all have a dip in rivers. So in the case of Ganges during my visits in Kashi and Haridwar where people have a holy dip in the river, I could do it only with the help of others who hold me during the process.I have taken dip in the famous Maha Magham tank during the last 2016 Maha Maga festival happened once in every 12 years in Kumbakonam, a city in Tamilnadu which will have Cauvery river water diverted to the tank. Also I have taken a dip in the Tamirabarani river(in Tamilnadu) during the last 2018 Maha Pushkaram happened once in 144 years.
With this inclination on rivers and oceans, I have even raised threads here whenever contests occurs, once on a page I have written on the Atlas Page and during the question contest, I have set the questions for a Geography teacher which has a question on Ocean. One more thread is on the Cauvery river speaking about herself.
This is my thread on the word pairs Rivers and Oceans
