God's Own Country!!!: Bitten by the travel bug... An escapade to Nelliyampathy hills
http://malayalampages.blogspot.com/2014/06/bitten-by-travel-bug-escapade-to.html
Sunday, June 8, 2014. Bitten by the travel bug. An escapade to Nelliyampathy hills. I thank you God for this amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky, and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes." - E.E.Cummings. It is said that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. Hence i choose to record my journey through pictures. The sleepy town of Vallengi, which we passed enroute. Being a Sunday, the roads were less occupied and the...

God's Own Country!!!: July 2015
http://malayalampages.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Good bye, Dr Kalam. Dr APJ Abdul Kalam is no more. His demise is certainly going to be a great loss to the entire nation, especially the millions of youth who looked up to him for inspiration. He has passed away, leaving behind a huge void… an empty space which is hard to fill. I feel a deep sense of loss when realization hits that his smiling face and bright eyes will no longer be part of our world. Thank you, Dr Kalam for proving to the world that humility is a very endearing qu...

God's Own Country!!!: Rest in Peace
http://malayalampages.blogspot.com/2012/11/rest-in-peace.html
Friday, November 30, 2012. I came across a corpse yesterday. You may be wondering what is so unusual about seeing a dead body these days. People die and there is nothing new about it…. November 30, 2012 at 3:46 PM. As a society, we have become apathetic towards others - for us, life and death does not matter, as long as it is not our life and our death! A nicely written piece - hope you will write more often! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Watched the Rajkumar Hirani – Aamir Khan movie, PK....

I choose to pay my tribute to this immortal legend by posting a few of his cartoons that invariably reflect his delightful wit and satirical humor in every possible way. These had appeared in the Times of India, and feel so very relevant to our times. RIP, R.K.Laxman. We will miss you. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Watched the Rajkumar Hirani – Aamir Khan movie, PK. Wouldn’t you go to any lengths to protect it? Between a Muslim man and ...

God's Own Country!!!: Kudos to Kerala Police!
http://malayalampages.blogspot.com/2008/01/kudos-to-kerala-police.html
Sunday, January 13, 2008. Kudos to Kerala Police! Interestingly enough, Kerala Police seems to be in the limelight for all the good reasons. They have managed to strategically place our own Palakkad in the world map, and that too, for a prestegious reason. It might interest you to know that the palakkad town south police station. Has been adjudged the best Police station in India. In a survey done by the Netherlands based Altus Global, an accredited agency working for the UN. Now, isn't that impressive?

God's Own Country!!!: June 2015
http://malayalampages.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 5, 2015. Memories of another day - A village called Manjalur. There is something magical about happy, childhood memories. It remains etched in our hearts, and as one grows older, these memories grow stronger, evoking a special attachment for the people and places that were an integral part of our bygone days. Last week my sister and I along with our children, visited Manjalur. The early morning drive itself was certainly worth it and we were rewarded with the awesome sight of lush greene...

God's Own Country!!!: PK Hai Kya?
http://malayalampages.blogspot.com/2015/01/pk-hai-kya.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Watched the Rajkumar Hirani – Aamir Khan movie, PK. I used to wonder how a movie which has been given the green by the censor board can get so very controversial. Now I understand why a particular sect of our intellectual society considers it mortally dangerous enough to call for a total ban. I totally sympathize with these legal guardians of spirituality. PK, the movie, should be banned. Wouldn’t you go to any lengths to protect it? Nope No way. PK should be banned. After that,...
