Coffee with Aby @ Kerala !
Kerala, an unstoppable nostalgia ! Kerala is my home state in India, and it is also known as the God's own country. I just love Kerala. I love it's peaceful greenery and back waters. A great place to unwind after some busy time in the nerve wrecking cities. One thing I dont like about Kerala is the lousy politicians and corruption. So, I am in the process of creating the most unofficial blog of Kerala !. If you are planning to visit Kerala and need any assistance, please feel free to contact me email : abrachan@gmail.com

Christmas Carol - 2008
Kerala is blessed with a very well balanced harmonious (by and large) multi religious crowd comprising of Hindus, Muslims and Christians. Christmas is celebrated by almost every one in Kerala. During the Christmas season, every household hosts Christmas stars and trees. Every household welcomes the Christmas carols and every household hosts lavish dinners for relatives. One can witness long ques in front of the wine stores along the length and breadth of the state. It is more of a get together time. Within India, kerala is one place, where Christmas is celebrated with this kind of fervour across all religions.
