@scorpiogenius
Trivandrum photos adhikam edukaan pattiyilla... wanted to take some from shangumugham and kovalam..but it was too dark by the time i reached there :-( thts my only regret from this trip...
@dialoguewithyou
thanx :-)
LOL..or shud I have let the poor goat eat its fill...and cut down the fence? ;-) depends on whose side u are on..the goat's or the plant's!! :D
Arre, most of my relatives(even R's) are based in Delhi, so whenever we make a trip home, the 'home' is invariably Delhi and just stay put there.
Having said that Kerala, Palakkad, in particular used to be our annual family vacation spot when my Paternal grandmother was alive. When she passed away our trips also dwindled :(. Seeing that ancestral house made me really nostalgic..it looks very similar to my dad's house :)
I intend to go there maybe next year as I want Namnam also to experience the place to the hilt. Lets see.Hope it materializes :)
I am loving every bit of ur holiday, Ash...its great to see the pics again. :)
Onam Sadya is super yummmmm.....
@Deeps
exactly...kids today wont have an idea of the feel we get when we visit our native place...its totally lost on them. taking namnam there wud b a good idea..it shud be a different experience alright :-)
@Uma
hahah...u are really enjoying the pics arent u? comments galore! :D
lovely pictures !! I liked the family house!
Of late, I happen to go to Calicut, Cochin and Trivandrum. Should say, people have an excellent sense of building houses in Kerala. I want to go to Palakkad as well to do a picture post - hopefully can find some time for that in this workaholic city! For me, Palakkad is just a bikes drive. So, can you tell me some important places where I can take some pictures in Pallakad?

@Praveen
I've lost track of the cricticism I faced for that plastic leaf photo!! LOL
the old style family house? yup that was my great grandmom's! :-)
That first pic of a Taravad took my breath away. It's been a while I have been to Kerala :(
awesome pics and Bharathapuzha somehow always brings in that old song "Bharatha muni oru kalam varachu" to my mind!!
@saks
I know... :-) You need to stay away to realise the beauty of the place!
You were on vacation too? In Kerala? Beautiful pics. How was your Onam?
@Sols
enjoyed thoroughly :-)
