I went on a short trip to Kerala to leave our daughter, who is
planning to pursue her higher studies in India. Time is indeed flying and it
was with a pang that I saw girls in school uniform this morning.
While at Kerala, I could spend some time with my parents too, and let me express it in pictures.

The Vada is store bought: here my Father is soaking it in boiling water to make curd vada.. |

| This one loves eating the long bean (vanpayare)! a rare sight? |
 |
| Another beauty, though a little snooty in this picture: elder brother to the white one and now the mother is pregnant with the next lot! |

| Early morning drive to Trivandrum and where else but at the Indian Coffee House |
beautiful photos
ReplyDeletedahi vada looks tasty
Thank you.. it is my daughter's favourite so she relished it..
DeleteI see you had a lovely time at home in Kerala! Great pics- the cats are cute, particularly the white one.

Thank you very much Manju :)

(BTW, your blog can use some de-cluttering... try removing unnecessary things like FEEDJIT and limit the number of posts per page... just my 2 cents)
Yum!
