Back from home...

I am finally back from Kerala! A four day visit. This time I’m so full of mixed feelings that I don’t even know my own mind.

The first 2 days I spent in Guruvayoor. A place I love so much. It’s been years I haven’t gone there. This year something prompted me to go. I told my parents I wanted to be there. Maybe because of all the mental turmoils! The place has changed a lot since I was there the last time. There is more crowd, more hassle, more devotion definite! I was amazed at how much faith people have here.

(I love this snap for the expression on the man's face)

The security has become very strict. No mobile phones, no digicams, nothing allowed. Actually good. The last thing I want is me about to cry standing there in solace and someone says “ Yello!!! Kelkannilaa!!!!” Ha ha..Sometimes I am amazed to see some small kids. There is so much of love they show God! They will be crying out the Lord’s names meticulously as taught by their parents and so cute they look too…

The trip home was fine…as usual…same questions..same anxiety on the faces of my relatives! Hmm…I guess I’m used to this now..Doesn’t make a difference to me at all now a days..I really wonder what I would do if I didn’t have Bangalore to come back too!! Love this city…

Hey LR :)
I'd been to guruvayur 2 years back , for my long due tulabharam :) , loved every inch of Kerala , cleanliness was astounding.Especially liked the fact that most of the temples i visited had well oiled large deepams and no electricity :).The pic brought back memories :)
