Nothing brings me more joy than coming home every month. So much so that, I tell my folks I'd rather stay away from home so I that I can experience this :) I thought I should dedicate this post to sharing some sights 'n sounds ( please imagine them !) of 'Kerala' that I regularly come across.
Of course, these are only one of the reasons I love coming home. The joy of seeing my parents after a month is simply incomparable.
Jackfruits aplenty! When it's jack-fruit season you can see Malayalees having the fruit in the morning, the unripe fruit cooked for lunch, and the seeds fried for dinner!! He heh just kidding, but the number of ways people have of utilizing the jackfruits during season is just amazing!
Poor Mr. Spidey's home is all drenched. A nice sight for us though, to see the little rain drops glistening on the spider web.
We call it 'bilimbi', but it's got different names all over Kerala ( probably irumban-puli is more common). You can see it hanging from the trees in bunches during monsoons. I love it pickled :)
And that's the neighbourhood cat my aunt is always shooing away! She always manages to smell her way through though - especially if you've got fish frying!!!

I hate jack fruits. They can be used as weapons if you really want to use it that way.
And I kind of even dread going back to my home town these days. The on-going bridge construction near baby memorial hospital has diverted all heavy traffic through residential areas. Those roads were not designed for heavy traffic and now people don't bother maintaining it either.
Don't know how long this const will go on; perhaps a year or so. But everyone is kinda irked about the traffic diversion.
jackfruits and the spider look beautiful.
But did you guys notice the expression on that cat's face, something like "zebakkum digital camerayo?" :)

@deostroll - jackfruits as weapons ?! Man, you've still got your primeval survival instincts intact!
@unni - looks like u've got similar looks before :P
@varsha - yeah .. it just makes me nostalgic each time I look at them, especialy now that I'm back to Chennai! But like I say, it's always nice to be away, you appreciate home better :)
Home is where the heart is...if you are not in it.
