Kerala , the God's own country has always impressed me since i reached my adult hood for a number of reasons and the most important of them being the richness of their traditions , the greenery which is such a relief to the eyes and its ever expanding water fronts .
I have read in School that much of the rains that pour in India gets wasted thru the hills of Kerala and ultimately gets immersed back into the Arabian sea.
But some one amusingly said about the NEIL AMSTRANG's REACTIONS when he first landed on moon when he was offered a cup of strong steaming Chaya (read as Tea) by a mallu over there.Mallu's it is claimed excel whereever they are, (provided it is not their home land). No offence intended please.
Wrong to the core...the water fronts, the traditional arts, the back water resorts, the temples, the massage parlours, the natural therapy for a number of deceases which are a real challenge to the English medicines, and the last but not the least the hidden treasures of Lord Anantha Padmanabha swamy temple have all been adding the number of visitors to the state aptly titled as "God's own country"
I had been to kerala (Cortesy my last Leave fare concession from bank before my retirement) and the experiences are varied, fulfilling and enjoyable.
This is the first of the series of posts , which i hope to be an appetiser and solid food will follow in due course....(To be continued)
