    Dear Diary,
    They say that Kerala is God’s Own Country. And rightly so. If any place can match Kashmir’s beauty
    and greenery, it is Kerala. I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to visit Kerala. So I accepted the
    invitation of my friend Suresh Nambiar to spend a week at his village Kovlam. The place is about 20
    miles away from Thiruvanathapuram. Kovlam is known for its world famous beach. It is basically a
    fishermen’s village. The whole place is wrapped in greenery. Coconuts and palm trees stand over the
    sprawling green paddy fields. We used to spend a lot of time fishing in a nearby pond. We often
    enjoyed a boat ride in the canal. What is Kerala without the surf and the sea? So we would spend
    hours either strolling or taking a sea-bath or lying on the golden beach. Kerala is rich in tea, coffee,
    rubber plantations and spices. I was lucky to enjoy the fascinating Kathakali dance. It was really a
    memorable stay.
