Guruvayurappan

Guruvayur Temple in Trissur district is around 110 km from our Home Town Calicut .its one of the popular pilgrim sites in Kerala and the deity worshipped here is Lord Krishna. 

we visit guruvayur every year with family and like any other pilgrim center, it reverberates religious fervor and devotional ambience. Another reason I like about guruvayur is its                                           chain of shops selling Idols and Artefacts and usually buy something from there every time I visit.

its a Temple Town and in spite of modernity all around  it retains its religiosity. Guruvayur is also a major pilgrim center of Kerala, especially in Malabar.

Cashless

#Covid-19  has brought the world to a Standstill literally. Our Fast-paced Life got a serious jolt by this killer virus. During this phase of Lockdown people had to rely only on Bare Necessities and maintain Social Distancing seems hard to digest but getting used to it as there's no other choice. There are no signs of easing restrictions since there s no respite from this Pandemic and the lockdown would continue for another few weeks as per the latest reports.  

During this period Banking Operations reduced to few hours and Mobility also stalled to a large extent.No Interstate Transport vehicles are plying leaving all those who are in faraway Locations to remain there until further notice. Migrant Workers are the ones who are stranded by this Lockdown. Even  Postal Service and Logistics came to a halt. No Service Personnel of Leading Corporations who manufacture Household Appliances is available for Onsite Service.

Amidst all these difficulties I find Solace in Digital Transactions to pay all Merchandise, Utility Bills and Other Services. Debit Card Transactions turns out to be a great boon to pay off Large Amounts even at wee hours where mobility was virtually not possible due to Lockdown. Almost Every Organization Accepts Card Payment here in our Small City. Another Benefit of  Card Transactions is that we don’t have to carry Huge Amount of Cash which can be a Security Issue since there is a possibility of losing money.  Even Banks are waiving off some of the Transaction fees for Digital Payments during this  Lockdown Period. 

I hope things will limp back to normal as before removing the Hardships of confining to Home.
