Beautiful Kerala-1

A Glimpse...

I promised you all that I would share my glimpses of the Beautiful Kerala with you all. Kerala known as God's Own Country is really so. The backwaters, lush green nature, air filled with the scent of spices and colourful flowers and fruits, yummy cuisine and to top it all beautiful people with their simple living and friendly nature.....

Well I am as much excited and impatient to share it all with you...but it will take some time..so here is a glimpse...

KathaKali-Traditional  Dance from Kerala

This is KathaKali-the traditional dance from Kerala. I will write about it in detail in my next posts and also have some videos to share with you all. This live performance we enjoyed  in one of our stays at a small town. I have always been fascinated with various dances of India-whether traditional or folk and try to learn as much about them as possible. Katha Kali is one such forms which has attracted me even as a child. The elaborate makeup, extensive use of eyes  for expressing various feelings is what enthralls me...

Well keep a watch on my blog....it will be a feast for you eyes......I promise..I will share it with you all.... the moment I can find a little time...but bye for now...got to go....

I am Back

Hi there. I am back after a wonderful rejuvenating trip. Though I travel so much, this is an outing with my family and friends after a very long time. It went well though I missed out some of my plans but I have so much to share with you all. I did not feel like coming back from those lovely places. 

Back to my home where the summer is at its peak-this year temperature at its high continuously with out even a drop of rain in between. Some of my plants died due to heat and some were on the verge. The moment I entered my home the first thing I did was to water the plants. This is when I don't like to go away from my home. Well I need to work on my garden this monsoon-it needs a lot of work. We are just waiting for the first few showers.

On my work front...so much has piled up in just a week's time..I just don't understand  how it gets piled up easily. I need to work hard now to clear off all that. But more and more work keeps coming. This is a real hectic time for us at our work place. I envy all those who are out still, enjoying the summer holidays. 

Well I missed out last week's TAST challenge. Hope I can do next one....

In this heat I don't feel like doing anything...Just completing my daily chores apart from my work is really taxing...I hope and pray that Monsoon comes here soon....

Out on a trip....

Hi ! I have not been able to post much for the past  few days. I was very busy on my work front. At last I am free to go out with my family and friends for a short trip tomorrow..I am excited like my little niece...

We are all going to Kerala-God's own country...and enjoy- some beautiful beaches, hill stations, sanctuaries, stay on a house boat, visit some tea and spice plantations, paddy fields, and perhaps lots of shopping... I hope that we can squeeze in as much sight seeing as possible...I just want to freeze all those moments of joy in my camera so that I can share with you.....

The colours- predominantly green and perhaps the rainbow colours if I can visit the spice bazaar which I have been thinking of since long time....smell of fresh air, free from pollution, salty breeze from the seas....pungent smell of the spices.... well just thinking of all that is making me so excited...with so many of us...I don't know whether we can do all that is planned...But the most important thing is being together and spending time, having fun.....

So I am off now to pack the last few things...my camera, journal to write and a sketch pad if possible...away from all this hustle bustle to the beautiful, scenic places....Be with you the moment I get back....
