00:32.0
00:36.8
they said that nearby place has many sunflowers, in a village called Sundarapandiyapuram
00:36.9
00:41.7
so we'll reach that place and will have a good look
00:41.8
00:46.6
Everything feels so good, it's not raining but just drizzling
00:46.7
00:51.5
now we're here to have morning coffee, vada
00:51.6
00:56.4
we're at brother's shop, bro your shops coffee and fritters are good
00:56.5
01:01.3

01:01.4
01:04.4

01:04.5
01:09.3

01:09.4
01:14.2

01:14.3
01:19.1
Brother opens the shop at 3am
01:21.8
01:26.3

01:26.4
01:31.2

01:31.3
01:35.3

01:35.4
01:40.2
so after having coffee and fritters from that shop
01:40.3
01:45.1
here we're at bus stand, this is the main area, our stay is there
01:45.2
01:50.0
it's like a guest house, minimum room cost here is around 500 Rs
01:50.1
01:54.9
all areas are clean and good, we'll catch a bus now
01:55.0
01:59.8
shall we ask if any bus goes to Sundarapandiyapuram
01:59.9
02:04.7
we need to enquire that, time is 9am and it's a rush here
02:04.8
02:09.6
Thenkasi town, okay we're at busstand
02:10.5
02:27.0
"upbeat music"
02:27.1
02:31.9
Each bus is coming and going, I’m checking online
02:32.0
02:36.8
it will be 20 minutes drive if we choose bike travel
02:36.9
02:41.7
so we'll have more waiting time while waiting for bus
02:41.8
02:46.6
we need to experience that journey, Thenkasi is surrounded by mountains
02:46.7
02:51.5
from dusk till dawn it's single climate here
02:51.6
02:56.4
in Internet I saw a nickname for Thenkasi, Breezing Thenkasi
02:56.5
03:01.3
I came to realise that meaning now
03:01.4
03:06.2
Sundarapandiyapuram bus is here, this one right?
03:06.3
03:11.1
"upbeat music"
03:11.2
03:17.8
to be clear, you need to atch 24C or 24B from main busstand
03:17.9
03:22.7
Moreover here you have bus staton master
03:22.8
03:27.6
he will help you in figure out your bus number and timings
03:27.7
03:32.5
so plan accordingly, let's go
03:32.6
03:37.4
we're going in a bus after a long time, let’s enjoy
03:37.5
03:56.2
"Pleasant music"
03:56.3
04:01.1
- Sundarapandiyapuram stop is here!
04:01.2
04:06.0
thank you so much!
04:06.1
04:10.9
[SPEAKER NOISE]
04:11.0
04:19.2
so this is Sundarapandiyapuram in the order of RSpuram, Subramaniyapuram!
04:19.3
04:24.1
so this is the busstand of Sundarapandiyapuram
04:24.2
04:29.0
he said that you eed to have 5 minutes walk here
04:29.1
04:33.9
Conductor was so kind and driver drove the bus well
04:34.0
04:37.8
he drove that bus like a sports car,
04:37.9
04:42.7
I saw many coconut trees and paddy fields so green sceneries
04:42.8
04:47.6
then I saw many ponds and the air was chill and breezy
04:47.7
04:52.5
window was shut down actually,
04:52.6
04:57.4
I had that feel of Ilayaraja song described in 'varanam aayiram' movie
04:57.5
05:02.3
he slept in the journey, I was awake, so if you walk for 5 minutes
05:02.4
05:07.2
we can reach that sunflower fields
05:07.8
05:29.2
"Pleasant music"
05:29.3
05:34.1
I thought differently, but Sundarapandiyapuram
05:34.2
05:39.0
is so beautiful apart from those sunflower farms
05:39.1
05:43.9
these old houses, which had since signs from 1931
05:44.0
05:48.8
those vintage houses are in many numbers
05:48.9
05:53.7
so here I feel chill and had a tea from a tea shop
05:53.8
05:58.6
that sitting place was so chill
05:58.7
06:03.5
so locals will feel another level, so we need to walk for 10 minutes
06:03.6
06:07.8
tell your name, -Mariyappan,Sundarapandiyapuram
06:07.9
06:12.7

06:59.3
07:04.1
look at he view from here
07:04.2
07:09.0
OMG!, it’s like putting ice-cream on rice
07:09.1
07:13.9

07:14.0
07:18.8
It’s a strong wind, all produce here are onions
07:18.9
07:23.7
small and big onions, tomatoes, fresh bean seeds
07:23.8
07:28.6
They’re maintaining this so good
07:28.7
07:33.5
it tempts me to eat it raw, but our habit is cooking this food
07:33.6
07:38.4
this is their farm house and motor house
07:48.3
07:53.1
brother has a chicken farm
07:53.2
07:58.0
They’re chirping my hands
07:58.1
08:02.5
-this one is to keep the cows,
08:02.6
08:07.4
is it onion? -red bananas
08:07.5
08:12.3
-this one is [UNKNOWN WORD]
08:12.4
08:17.2
so it's inside, peas
08:17.3
08:22.1
do you sent this to market today or tomorrow? -today itself
08:22.2
08:27.0
thank you, we'll leave after gazing these sunflowers
08:27.1
08:31.9
to my knowledge all vegetables are produced here
08:32.0
08:36.8
Look at fresh bean seeds,
08:36.9
08:41.7
they're taking it in a sack for market
08:41.8
08:46.6
it's on another level, so do visit here once you travel to Thenkasi
08:46.7
08:51.5
it will take around 30 minutes if you drive here and it’s same for bus commute
08:51.6
08:56.4
but sceneries are so good here
08:56.5
09:01.3
Everyone is working hard here, time is 12pm
09:01.4
09:06.2
They’re stil working, why are you so happy now?
09:06.3
09:11.1
woah! this is sunflower
09:15.0
09:19.8
we have seen sunflowers, let’s go deep
09:19.9
09:24.3
it's on another level
09:24.4
10:00.1
"Ambient music"
10:00.2
10:05.0
it's so yellowish
10:05.1
10:09.9
I'm witnessing sunflower for the first time
10:10.0
10:14.8
we have only seen sunflowers in gold winner ads and pictures only
10:14.9
10:19.7
it's so yellow, in the middle and this part alsos
10:19.8
10:24.6
this place has one yellow
10:24.7
10:29.5
with orange tint and edges has sunlight yellow
10:29.6
10:34.4
it's so good to see in inperson, many flowers has honey
10:34.5
10:39.3
I can feel the texture that is similar to cotton
10:39.4
10:44.2
so once this gets dry
10:44.3
10:49.1
they'll use this to extract oil in mills
10:49.2
10:54.0
this stem is very rough and thorny
10:54.1
10:58.9
it has these rough white texture
10:59.0
11:03.8
those places got a bit dry
11:03.9
11:08.1
so this place has the lively sunflowers
11:08.2
11:25.1
"Pleasant music"
11:25.2
11:30.0
look here we have this small pumpset
11:30.1
11:34.9
they have this good setting, I think it's 30ft in depth
11:35.0
11:39.8
so water level was once at this point, steps is going well
11:39.9
11:44.7
I think, we can have bath here
11:44.8
11:49.6
water looks so blueish
11:49.7
11:54.5
it's tempting myself to take bath, so I'll sit here
11:54.6
11:59.4
for a while, I have never been in a place like this for so long
11:59.5
12:04.3
wind sound is heavy and it's very hard to operate drone here
12:05.2
12:11.1
"Pleasant music"
12:11.2
12:17.2
we had spent 1 hour with sunflowers
12:17.3
12:22.1
now we're datin with this onion, look small onion
12:22.2
12:27.0
they picked this freshly from farm
12:27.1
12:31.9
actually they will have this heap and will let them dry
12:32.0
12:36.8
this is the one taht we're buying in market
12:36.9
12:41.7
it's 1 times cheaper than we usually spend
12:41.8
12:46.6
it will shock you, 1 kg is 10 Rs only
12:46.7
12:51.5
there are no people to buy at this price here, one gys asked a kg for 8 or 6 Rs yesterday
12:51.6
12:56.4
it will not ideal for them to sell at that price
12:56.5
13:01.3
so they're selling for 10 Rs and my brother said a 1 Kg is 40 Rs in market
13:01.4
13:06.2
I have no such knowledge, look here
13:06.3
13:11.1
look it's so fresh here
13:11.2
13:16.0
for which purpose do you use these sunflower seeds, - we'll give this to make oil
13:16.1
13:19.7
you're giving for oil, but which creatures will have it as food?
13:19.8
13:24.6
- pigeon, parrot, lovebirds will eat, this seed is not capable of growing
13:24.7
13:29.5
- it will grow, but flower will in this much size only
13:29.6
13:34.4
- we'll buy seeds, 1 Kg is 4.5K Rs
13:34.5
13:39.3
1 Kg is good for how much crop area?
13:39.4
13:43.0
- 1 Kg will yield 4 Kg of seeds,
13:43.1
13:47.9
so 20K Rs will be profit, - that money is hardly turn to your profit, right?
13:48.0
13:55.1
- it's hard to gain the investment in agriculture, but sometime if luck is on your side, you will get more profit
13:55.2
14:00.0
- these onions were sold for 100 Rs per kilo last month and now it's not selling even for 10 Rs
14:00.1
14:04.0
last month was rainy season right?
14:04.1
14:08.9
- tomatoes were 150-200 Rs per kilo in last month, now it's going for 2 Rs only
14:09.0
14:13.8
OMG! just 2 Rs!
14:13.9
14:18.7
- last month I bought for 40 Rs/Kg in our hometown
14:18.8
14:23.6
so try to buy from here, - Kerala people will visit here and buys in bulk
14:23.7
14:32.1
- during friday and weekend and Gokulashtami, i had many customers for 15 days
14:32.2
14:37.0
thanks bro, I'm from Tanjore, I'll travel back there soon
14:37.1
14:41.9
we're buying some things easily from market, but
14:42.0
14:46.8
farmers are struggling to sell that
14:46.9
14:51.7
Onions and tomatoes will go for good money in some seasons only
14:51.8
14:56.6
other times it won't sell well, I asked him what thet're going to do to the produce
14:56.7
15:01.5
he said that he is not sure, mostly they will ignore spoiled veggies
15:01.6
15:06.4
they will only get profit once in a bluemoon and loss is their swan song of alltime
15:06.5
15:11.3
it made me sad, but
15:11.4
15:16.2
they're living with these things, so they're great
15:17.5
15:21.9
we'll buy our favourite things with our money
15:22.0
15:26.8
but for a farmer with low income
15:26.9
15:31.7
they're struggling in life without any benefits
15:31.8
15:36.6
it's sad to hear, but it's the reality
15:36.7
15:41.5
so we'll share this info and support farmers and government should
15:41.6
15:46.4
help them with many benefits, if you visits Thenkasi
15:46.5
15:51.3
keep this Sundarapandiyapuram in your bucketlist
15:51.4
15:56.2
it's very beautiful than in the video, I'm giving assurance for that
15:56.3
16:01.1
so we're left here, i already had Biriyani in Rahmath biriyani stall and tried the famous parotta
16:01.2
16:06.0
they gave fish curry for parotta and grilled chicken
16:06.1
16:10.9
I'm not exaggerating but the food was so good, I hope you loved this video
16:11.0
16:15.8
I'll show another beautiful place in next video
