Coconut Is The Limit in Kerela!
The phrase "Sky is the limit" changes effortlessly to "Coconut is the limit" when it comes to Kerela. Everywhere you see and look around, the land, the seas and the skies, you see coconut trees. Females are ornated from head to toe in gold earrings, chains, finger rings, bangles, anklets, pendants! And males will surprise you with their unique style of riding bikes wearing petromax(white cotton lunggi) with valore, their sandalwood smell and shiny oiled black hair . I am on my way to Trivandrum on train and the view outside my window is dominated by Coconuts, Palms, Bananas, Mangoes, Teaks, Neems. I am hoping to discover something really beautiful and mildly excited to see Kovalam beach today. I wish to run to the sea barefoot on the sands against the wind. Men with big-big moustache, dark skinned seems all similar to me like the actor Mammothy! It's December and it's damn hot here with maximum temperature rising more than 35°c, wonder how will be the summers? But the city's clean with quite a different deccan landscape and the boat ride last evening in the sea and seeing the sunset across the islands just took my breath away...
Kerala is definitely a place that I will remember.... :)
