Home calling

"Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably" says C L Lewis, and I had the luxury to enjoy the matrimony of the two!

Yep, was on holidays in "God's own country" - kerala- i.e home sweet home :)

The little pleasures of:

-finishing all the unread pending books in the flights

-the comfort curling on the couch and mum getting tea and perfect accompaniments yada yada

-the privilege of owning the remote control to yourself and lazily fiddling channels

-visiting relatives and the sheer joy on realising that they still remember your favourite dishes..

and the effort they made to make the same

-dozing off on the couch while fiddling those channels-

Priceless :)

If this sounds like the confessions of "super lazaholic" (a new addition to the dictionary) - not too wrong, that is what holidays are designed for!

It was a joy sitting beside my 85 years young grand mum and watching her talk, not a single grey hair and constant smile on her face- wonder how she does it.

Kochi, my dear hometown is on its way to be a "smart city".. It was quite surprising to see :

-Supermarkets as big as Coles/Safeway

-Audi's and BMW's as just another cars on the road

-uber- cool fashion

-great cafe's and superb ice cream joints

and yet has preserved the originality, though we still are one "America crazed" lot :)

Met the few of my friends from school and Engineering , most are in every other continent possible..:)

the love and warmth of dear country..Thy shall be missed dearly till the next trip!
