Very recently, I went on a houseboat at Alappey with my handsome bestie.  The journey was calm, much needed in dosage and the experience was sweet and serene. water, boats, daily life, bridges, kettuvalloms, canals, trees, glorious food tasting, awing at the size of lobsters, wading ducks, rowing a boat, paddy fields and the calm punnamada lake. look ahead the tattered bridge. slightly different, the angle. fancy them skies house. boat and trees pazhampori (banana fritters) and tea. life's this way just get into my mouth already, sexy! This was all mine safely, because my company was a fraud mallu boy sauted and boiled veggies. just good. cabbage sabji a little kitty awes at the fishes she might get her luck on! daily life | kuttanad. Punnamada lake and houseboats was much needed. I also waded through the water on a small boat, rowing across the vast 'kaayal' (lake), sheepishly looking at the life outside...

Ahoy! the mighty Tungabhadra! Let me make my way waves and live upto bliss. Cradle  me in your palms, touch my hair, enlighten me, blow me a kiss Let me churn your splendid waters, and play and be enthralled on your lap for its my wish for long that it has been and can't swap.

publishing a book.

I wrote a book. Yes. I published the damn thing. I wanted to publish a book in so long a time trust me, the wait was fair enough.  It is a collection of short stories . and these stories might NOT be the best in the world. You might find them really weird . However, they might touch a chord with you somewhere, because I wrote it with my heart strands. And as for the book, love is the base on which it's been made. Fair enough, right? Wish me Luck! Buy it here  if you'd love to!

Old town Charm - Goan Escapade

Recently I did a backpacking trip to an interior village in Goa, called Nerul , near Bardez for a week of peace. It is a bright countryside and in the mornings you can hear birds chirping and church bells ringing- get the drift? It is that silent and perfect an escapade for  people looking for a peace of mind. This piece of land is becoming a sought after area for builders due to its remote location and much takers from the cities for the country side of calm. There is a famous Church here which is a white splendid piece of architecture, trimmed with pastel blue. Looking at it makes the morning sun saner, shining bright through the bunch of Pretty Pink Bouganvillae. Lot of dogs here though - they seem utterly enjoying the freedom they're getting. Occasionally a vehicle or two passed, breaking that crass silence of the countryside. Cows moo-ed not so far away. From the Dome of Nerul Church The Nerul Church. This guy befriended me in a little time and ...
