Of Photographs and Memories...

I've always wanted to do a photo essay and have looked at various themes and photos, trying to piece them together into a tale. I found that this is a very time-consuming and painstaking exercise and I need time for it. And since I'm a procrastinator by genetics, I present to you my first closest attempt at a photo essay.

All of these pictures are of Kerala, my home state. While I have many more beautiful pictures and fond memories of the places in Kerala, I thought I'd start with these pictures. They're of my most recent visit (last year). 

Hope you enjoy these as much I enjoyed taking them.


Sunset in Nellambur, Kerala. This was outside the home of a cousin of mine. Nestled between the mountains, Nellambur is an absolute paradise.



This is similar to a lot of roads in Kerala. I just wanted one to remind myself of how country roads compare to city roads. 


If I had to have a house in the lap of nature, I want it to be exactly like this one. Small, beautiful and homely.


Believe it or not, Photoshop brought my grandparents closer after their deaths. They don't have a pic together when they were alive.



Sunset again. I really love sunsets!


Roses planted by my mom.


My nephew Alvin. He's an Australian now.


My niece who's a semi-Kuwaiti.


The veins and branches spread outwards from this more than a century-old tree and provide shade to many a weary soul.


A decorated altar, common to many orthodox churches in Kerala.
One from the flock.



And this is the century-old tree in multicolour.

My mother is a nature buff and always wants to pose next to plants or flowers.
