Off to God's own country! The best part of living in South India, apart from the fab food of course, is the proximity to Kerala and the other beautiful South East Asian countries. Last night, I packed my bag, took the train and lo and behold! I woke up to this:
The views from the trains in India are usually full of rice fields and villages, but even the eyes that are used to these views will widen seeing the beauty of the Mallu land. Coconut trees swaying in the wind, thick bushes and plants dripping water from the perpetual rains, wet mud roads and after-the-rain smell, it probably is God's own holiday resort. The people are nice and friendly(but if you are a South Indian and you don't know Malayalam, expect slight rudeness), the weather is always pleasant and the lip smacking mildly-spiced food will leave you asking for more.
My trip this time covers just two towns - Guruvayur and Thrissur and I am here to meet the awesomest Menon of all times - Deepti Menon!
