The Island of Crows (Kakkathuruthu)

My state Kerala is a beautiful one. It's lushy green all around. And I like it.
The very name means Land of Coconut Trees.
So you shouldn't be surprised to see coconut in amost all the dishes we make.
But the point is an island called Kakkathuruthu here has grabbed a spot in National Geographic's Around the world in 24 Hours photographic journey.

Now that's cool.  Kerala is so small that no one will blame you if you miss it in the Atlas.  But recognition such as these will definitely help maintain its pristine beauty.

I have lived my life in Europe and the Middle East but I still have to see a soil that's as fertile as here. We are blessed with both rain and good soil.  And that's what sprouts life here.

Sometimes I feel I'm blessed.
