The day we met Shankaran

Our trip to Ezhupunna in Sep 2011 was a trip we were planning for ages. We decided to drive down all the way from Bangalore in our trusty Swift.This was the first time we were going on a long drive. Unni was excited that he got to use the Fifth gear for the first time!!
We were eager to meet the latest member in our family - Shankaran a pretty white snow ball of a cat. Unlike other cats though, this one lacks in meowing skills and keeps hiding under furniture. It took some time for him to warm up to us.

After the tiring road trip which lasted around 11 hrs we relaxed with some tea and packed a parcel full of Onam special goodies for Nish Chechi in Dehradun.

We had an amazing lunch at "The Grand". I loved the "Karimeen Polichathu".Only drawback is the long wait to get a table.

Camera always helps to waste time

It was Monsoon- the season of rains and damp earth smell. It is always relaxing to sit in the front porch with a cup of steaming hot coffee and watch nature carry on with her job season after season.

We had the usual family visits and shopping. This time Valiachan showed us his back yard garden where he cultivates fruits and veggies organically. He gave us some Kappa- Tapioca , to take home. They were delicious.

The days flew by and before we knew it we were driving back home to Bangalore and again back to Office!!
