Fun days back home



The coconut grove vacation. To realise the beauty of the coconut trees, the kalpavriksham of which no part goes wasted, you need to stay away from these. And then once in a while come back and they will steal your gaze.

Irene and Ian at Madayippara. Pazahyangadippuzha flowing in the background. Down the hill is the angadi. On top of hill, once should have been a small fort. Only some stones are seen. Then there are still the vadukunna shiva kshetram, the madayikkaavu, and the vadukunnippuzha, a pond that holds water round the year. And a school. And a college.

The view from the top of Fazl-e-Omar school is also breath-taking. On one side, is the shy Chemmallikundu puzha flows tucked in the deep green and the naked beauty still fast asleep under a blanket of fog on the other.

Thanks Anoop

Posting multiple photos had a lot of issues. So I used this collage now.

And the new thing is I blogged from my desktop Picasa this time. Not from Flickr.

No blames to your home PC. I had several issues with this one post. Everyday I believe things are fixed and the next morning it is not!

Riyaz san, you should write an entire chapter on this, complete with the description of a trip to local market (best authentic place 100% mallu)

Byju - thanks. I should have kept on clicking at the guy selling kallammakkaya, the guy behind the heap of vegetable, the huge and small fresh fresh fishes, Raghavettan of the local ration shop whose age has probably been on a stand still from when I can remember, Kalayanechi before she loses more of her teeth....
