Rain… The blessing from the skies. My friend Amit from Mumbai told me so. It’s a time of abundance, like no other. Travelling India at this time can be challenging and something to test the patience of an impatient traveller. I know I have no term of comparison, this being the first time in India. But I like to think I can read people’s emotions. And the truth is that there is a sheer optimism, and a genuine warmth when you approach someone around these parts… The heavy showers are so thick that you can’t see 2 metres ahead of you… Streets flood, kids play in puddles… But the spirits are high, you can definitely feel it… Kannur was just a short stop, but a fantastic introduction to Kerala…
