My holiday in pictures

Here you go, some of the pics I clicked on my holiday.



The bride's pretty pretty alta-ed anklet-ed feet. Did you know I have a slight foot fetish? Slight only. Very leetle.



The Pavizhamalli flower that forms a carpet of white and orange at the entrance of my mom's ancestral home in Nadapuram.





The grand old Madatthil house in Nadapuram.




In Kerala, when it rains, it RAINS. (Madatthil courtyard)

Sigh... Sun Temple.




One of the structures in the Sun Temple grounds.


Chandrabaga Beach



...and a bonus pic! The chilli chicken that I made on Sunday. :)

    Ooohh.. Lovely pictures ! And the clouds make them look even lovelier. Specially of the grand old house and the Sun temple. Would love to visit Kerala during the rains.

    And thanks for torturing us all with the chilli chicken at the end. :-/ Now I feel hungry !

      You really muxt visit Kerala during monsoons. You may not be able to roam around much, but it's a joy just to sit and watch the rain.

      You're welcome! :D

      I miss the Kerala rains too. It rains two drops here, and people go "Oh my god! It's raining!". And I tell them "You think this is rain? COme to Kerala then".

      I'm not a good photographer yet. Just an amateur who's experimenting with her camera. :)

      This is not that snake-attracting flower. It looks similar, but that one's bigger. This one's a tiny little flower. I took the pic from real close, that's why it's looking big.

      If I made even a vegetarian drool over the chicken, then my job is done. :p

    Dude!
    Amazing clicks. Loved each one.
    And, though I'm a vegetarian, that pic made me hungry. :-|
    And I've wanted to visit Sun temple, since the beginning of time.
    Your ancestral home... *sighs*
    Btw, penukaanal story? No? Okay. *makes a sad puppy face and leaves*

    Lovely Pics and lady there is nothing amateur about them...
    Such a majestic house,that…especially the drenched courtyard, beautiful...I love rains and it rains heavily in Mumbai as well so I understand what you mean when you say it RAINS in Kerala...
    I have been to Kerala twice now..Both the times it was cold n raining n pleasant in general, just the combo I like :):)
    Though m a vegan your dish looks sooo tempting...
    The alta-ed feet, lot of raw emotion in that pic :)

    The pictures are so pretty! In your first caption "Slight only. Very leetle," reminded me of a fat mallu waiter hovering over my banana leaf platter with a plate-full of rice. Like they do in our kalyana sadhyas, you know? :D
