Hubz comes from a big family. Recently a second cousin of his met up with a bad accident and was admitted in a hospital in Kochi. We got to know from a family member back home post which we left home to pay him a visit.

In a similar incident, a cousin in Calicut who is a teacher got talking to a fellow teacher only to realize in the end they both were related!! Read more...

Famous for its dams and power generation, the mountainous and dense forests of Idukki is what we zeroed on for a short vacation. Having packed our bags we set on the road and reached Green Berg resort, where we had pre-booked ourselves.
Green Berg Resorts is nice and snug overlooking valley and far away mountains. The cottages are neat, warm and welcoming. We checked into one such cottage and since it was late afternoon, decided to stay put at the resort for the day. We took a long walk on the walkway and enjoyed the splendid view for sometime before we headed to the badminton court for a game. Just close to the court is a nice park for kids to play around on various swings and slides.

Usha Uthup or didi (elder sister) as she is fondly referred to, was in Cochin (Kochi) city recently, to enthrall the crowd with her contemporary music concert.

People are getting weirder and weirder by the day in the name of fashion. Just read about the new find by a Japanese clothing company Sanna’s – low cut bikini jeans which they say have become the latest “in thing”. Have a look…
Well, I found it the most atrocious thing ever. There are creative people and there are hideous sorts. Fashion is good till it enhances your sexuality in the most subtle way. It does not have to glare at your face. That is being sluttish in my definition. Read more...
