“It’s my second year at Sabarimala. I remember watching my father religiously do this pilgrimage year after year, from the time I was born. So, last year when he asked me to join him, I was excited and agreed to go with him. I love climbing that hill; there are three other kids in our group who are my age, so we all play around and climb the mountain. We walk through the forests and sleep on the floor. The place is like an adventure from the Tarzan movie. Once I return, I tell my friends lots of stories. I remember last year’s trip, everyone in the family was worried as I was too young, but I had my father by my side and all the uncles in the group also took good care of me. It was a long train journey to reach Kerala. So, I am excited to go even this year. It’s fun and my teachers don’t scold me for missing school either, so I like it.”
