My 2022 calendar with favourite photos from last year.

This time Thulavarhsam or NorthEast monsoon was heavier than usual in Kerala. While there were severe damages & casualties at many places, I was fortunate again to witness another safe “vella pokkam” (flood).

Captured this from home terrace during a beautiful evening. The sky looked so dramatic for sometime which forced me to took out my camera. The three coconut trees you see below were planted by my grand father in my childhood, one for each three of us – siblings.

To add on top, there was continuous rain fall for three days all across Kerala with the influence of the deep depression over the Arabian sea & the resulting tauktae cyclone. Kerala is also going through strict lock-down during this period… Read More Mango Shower

I did not stop at the town and drove directly towards Marayoor side, crossing Kannan Devan hills. It is a scenic route with greenery all over the place. Evening I drove towards… Read More Munnar
