Gods Own Country

Its almost a week that i am back from "Gods Own Country " often abbreviated as "Godzone". But the memories of the time i spent still remains very fresh.

I always wondered why is that Kerala referred to as Gods Own Country where as others not, Is that God prefers to stay in a place so green , friendly and lot of beaches around. Or is it God only prefers places where he gets lot of Toddy and fishes :) . The search for this was unsuccessful may be few of my mallu friends can show some light on this .

Anyways i had never been to Kerala till this trip, Hence i immediately agreed to visit Kerala when he invited me for his marriage. Krishna got married at his home town Calicut , but its actual name is Kozhikode ( Its fun to spell out this name, none of us got it correct ) . And i also wondered why is that many places in kerala has two names , a mallu name and other name given by outsiders. We had some hard experiences in finding out few places since those places were so difficult to pronounce :)

Except the weather everything was great at Kerala, great scenic beauty and delicious food.
We just covered few places at Wayanad district and moved onto Calicut for marriage.

The meenmutty falls at Wayanad is really worth trekking but the edkal caves and kuruva island is just a tourist hype we felt. But since we have a good number we enjoyed ourselves very well.

Check below few of the pics from Krishna's marriage & wayanad.
