A program organized by government school inaugurated by the chief minister. The welcome drum beats turned out to be a competition between traditional ചെണ്ട and English drums

കടൽപാലം (The sea bridge)

Buying fish & vegetables has literally become a hunter’s task. Thanks to all the ‘organic’ madness. Today I went to Valliyathura in hunt for fresh fish. Thanks to the unruly seas, there was very less. That is when a fisherwoman told us how the guys jump off the bridge to get into the boats (as boats can not be brought to shore.

The bridge itself is a rickety structure built by the British. Last year few girls came straight from their school exams and jumped off the bridge. Ever since then the bridge is closed to general public.

But it’s a sight to see athletic boys dive off the bridge and swim back

The fury

I was out there to close a deal when it rained.  The business didn't happen but I took a few pics

Parathe wallah

An unbelievable temptation to your taste buds in Chandni Chowk. The variety awesome. Had difficulty in finding this in the narrow alleys. From hype we thought it was some hip eat out.

These children posed for me. Sadly the sun stood against them

Beemapalli

Beemapalli is area best known for its pirated CDs. More than that, its a mosque housing the grave of two holy people. Irrespective of religion people come there to seek the blessing
