First visit to Gods Own Country



I visited one of the most beautiful places in India, Kerala, with my friend Sunny. Mangalore was doing me no good, and Kannur was the place we headed to for a weekend getaway.


Travelling by the 9.30 train from Mangalore Central was blissful. The breathtaking sights along the way as the train sashayed through lush green forests, rivers, beaches, villages with beautiful tiled houses and patterns made by muddy water puddles was one of the best. 


The foodie within me insisted on having lunch as soon as we got off from the train at Kannur. We were lucky enough to find a cool multi cuisine restaurant in the vicinity named Cool Land. We treated ourselves to awesome Chicken Biryani and American Choupsuey (which was simply yummm. And I might think of going back just for the food). 




Than we headed to Payyambalam beach and it was a very beautiful beach. This visit made me understand the difference between spending time on Goa beach and Kerala beach. 



Another interesting thing we did was roaming around the streets and trying to speak to people who neither understood Hindi or English, and we were happily hearing them blabber in Malayalam.

The return journey was very tiring. But I'm glad it was a Sunday well spent. This was my first journey to Gods own Country, but definitely not the last.

Home of Hopes:Nazareth Niwas

Ever thought how life would be when we all grow old with wrinkled faces trying to walk with an old walking stick and only looking forward to when we will die and achieve the peace we will be craving for? But there are people who enjoy this stage of life too. A good example of this is Nazareth Niwas, a home for the elderly. Nazareth Niwas is a beautiful home for the aged. It is situated in Bondel, Manga luru. Under the management and attention of Carmelite sisters of Saint Teresa the residents are well looked after. “We have number of home for the aged, but this is a different house. This is a house where most of the residents have worked, retried and seek a comfortable place. Most of the time now the children study and they go outside for work and there they live. They cannot be with their parents because the environment is not suitable for their parents most of the children are in the Gulf, Australia, London, USA and searching the place at this age. The parents find it di...

Goa is in my Mind, Have you been there?

Image
Goa is a place where every guy would want to visit in his lifetime as an Indian. So whenever you hear Goa, there is so much excitement and anticipation. Well, I got the exposure to it. F inally , I made a visit to Goa and stayed there for two days. Let me give you a brief insight about my experience as a new comer to Goa and the incident that has taken place within the span of time. Well to be honest, we planned Goa within 3 days after the internship, so by evening we started to call everyone to come along but never found any friends to carry with, maybe it was because of financial problems and the adjustment within that span of time. Finally just the three of us were ready to go there at the last moment.   Once everything was settle, I called up my younger brother Razo, saying am going to Goa, his first words   was “buy me a t shirt”, I laugh at him and   told him that I don’t have money. Instead told him the family financial (such a poor brother), He event...

I love listening to their stories of the people who would work hard to achieve their dreams and today to have a great story about a man who is trying hard to get what he is aiming for, Sanam G Amin.   I have not actually met him in person yet, but my first encounter with him was in the PG fest where he was asked to be the Judge for the variety event. Sanam G Amin is well establish model and an actor who has won the title Mr Mangalore in the year 2014. “Mr Mangalore was the first step that made me enter the modelling industry. I had no thought of entering an event until my friend told me that I should give it a try. So I gave it a thought and applied through online where the people were selected based on the numbers of votes which was the criteria to be in the next round. I got selected for the next round which was held at Tag hotel Mangalore from where I got selected in top 16. From there we had various events and rounds at Moodabidri Pandit Resort on 2 nd Marc...
