Day 1 in Kayrala

The road to my friends place. First thing I noticed was the sheer greenness of my surroundings. His house is smack dab in the middle of paddy fields and all this is just about 9 or 10 kms away from the heart of Calicut city. The green-ness continues!!!! Love the 2nd picture took it by placing the camera on the parapet wall along the side of the road....

Wow!!!!








The Calicut beach on a Sunday evening. Chock full of people...My friend and I spent more than an hour there talking about the good old days in college and the non sense things we have done when we have been together.

We also ate something called Manga while we were on the beach. Its nothing more than slices of raw mango which is pickled in Vinegar. This makes it exceedingly tangy on the surface but as you bite in to it there is just a bit of sweetness to offset the tanginess. Check out the pic on the right....Pretty dramatic isnt it??? There used to be a bridge constructed here which fell a while back (you can actually see pieces of it in the water) The iron structures left back are testament to the awesome power that nature can unleash when she so desires...
