Children. Lots of ’em!
I am currently part of a project that involves visiting lots of schools. It gives me a chance to be among children – a joyful experience indeed. More on this later. Meanwhile, spot the boy who’s making faces at the camera :).
Kollur Mookambika: One night, and the next morning
“You have to do upasana daily” – he replied to me in soft voice. Standing on the shores of river Souparnika, I had struck up a conversation with one of the pilgrims who’d come to take a dip in the holy waters. A few minutes earlier, I had seen him float on the river, absolutely …
Museum of Kerala History
This was one place that, for me, has been so close yet so far. A place I always wanted to visit, but never got around to doing it. Finally, I made time to do so, and it was a couple of hours well spent. Museum of Kerala history – located in Edappally (around 8 kms …

An evening in Fort Kochi
“I’ve never been to Fort Kochi“, she mumbled, as she sat staring out of the car window, absorbing the scenes whizzing past. My mother spends most of her time indoors nowadays, and I was taking her out on a drive, that I hoped, would be a welcome change for her. Now aged 72, she had …
