Its been a long long time since I wrote something. So what happened? Why no more blogging? Well, Life has just been passing by. Work and life balance act... Took more time than I thought. I hope to be more regular here. Fingers crossed.:)

Thiruvanandapuram, the capital city of Kerala, is where we live now. Being born and brought up in Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, I have never lived in Thiruvanandapuram before. Yet, I was hopeful that people here would be just as nice as Thrissurians and they were. I don't know whether I should say the same about all auto-rickshaw drivers :( Anyway, a friend of ours works as a teacher

We reached here on May 31st. June 1st was house-hunting day. Well, not really, someone had found a home available for rent. I did not have much of a choice, but just one home to decide on :( So, I decided to take the house. It is a huge house, a bit old, but huge.

In US, admission to a public school is so easy. Based on where (which county) you live, you will be assigned to a public school within the School District. You are guaranteed admission to that public school. No text books to buy, since it is paid by the State. Yes, there is a supply list, which is published long before the school opens. So parents do not need to rush to get the stuff just the day

We landed at Trivandrum Airport on the evening of 30th May. Even though it is not the same as landing at Cochin International Airport, I felt glad to be home. The mindset is different this time, since this is not another vacation. We are here to stay or so we hope! Yes, I am home...

Kerala, a state in the south-western tip of India is commonly known as "God's Own Country". The official tourism website for Kerala has more details and beautiful imagery of my home state of Kerala. Enjoy!
