Mohan last winter my wife and I spent two weeks in Kerala, mostly in Cochin but also in the Periyar. Kerala truely is unique and wonderful with it's internal waterways and great sea food and the coastal landscape that is immensley subtle.

I had lived in Varkala in the late 1950's and it was wonderful then as well.

Strangely, Kerala seems oddly removed from the other problems that beset India. I guess there aren't numbers of migrant laborers from other parts of India, and industry. Kerala seems a highly integrated society that survives intact but it also has a tremendous - I suspect- amount of money that has come into the coast from the Gulf from expat Kerala labor. I recall talking to a wonderful man in Ernakulam about living in the Gulf for thirteen years.

There is a kind of dignity to the people of Kerala that I've not seen anywhere else. Thanks for the websites.

Where is your house?

Mohan, thanks for your value-added post on Kerala. I love to be educated about places - and some price controls in India.

BTW, I used to play Cricket when still in school. But now it's only memories, as it's not popular outside boarding schools in Switzerland. I liked it!

Keep it coming!
