ESSAYES

Dear All, We had a trip to Oman, last week and to tell you that in one word, it was Oh-Man!!! For me, it was revisiting my dusted memories, but for my wife and kids, a wonderful eventful enjoyable break. This trip was in our mind pending decision since many months. A string of holidays thanks to F1 race in Abu Dhabi followed by Eid Al Adha and a newly purchased Pajero fuelled our decision. And formal invitations from beloved friends played catalystic roles too. Packed up and doubly checked, ( Not to forget valid passports and vehicle registration card with insurance coverage in Oman) we set our course to Hatta , UAE-Oman Boarder on Friday 12 Nov morning at 0930 hrs, taking Hatta-Al Ain Exit from Sh.Zaid Road near JAFZA. This road leads to DIP R/A and from there staight to Dubai By Pass Road ( Jabel Ali- Lehbab Raod).

  നെല്ലിയാമ്പതി യാത്ര !! It was a wonderful trip to Nelliyampathy, joined by family and some great friends. Though lying at a shout away from Palakkad, I never had a chance to visit this picturesque place. I regret that, but better late than never! A cool climate, an adventorous but not so risky journey, stopovers to have a pleasing nature down the valley, driving through clouds and mist, a glimpse of active wild life, cascading water streams, huge rocky mountains.... just a few attractions. Reaching there is - through NH 47 palakkad - thrissur road, divert from Alathur, to Nenmara and from nenmara, pothundi and Nelli... Around 60 km Palakkad town. Road will look like this Hotel stay was average, but can enjoy the local food. Meen curry and Palakkadan rice! There are two popular hotels, ITL and Green park. We chose the first one. Rooms were pretty furnished including a satellite TV. keep the remote elsewhere and venture out, that'll be a better idea. Carry your own bed

It was a farewell party and I was asked to write a life story of one of our Partner, Viswanathan, hailing from Nemmara, Palakkad who was retiring and leaving for settling in Palakkad. This story was to be read in the party and this is what I have written about him after gathering information through an informal chat.. Once up on a time,….. Partners, let me start my story here like this… and the title of this story is “Lord of the Gods and the Goblet!!! 1950… a December cool and calm morning… If my memory is correct, it was 17th day of December and it was a Sunday!!! A legend in the making is born.. And his parents called him ‘SWAMINATHAN’ Lord of all Gods… Friends, He was born in Kerala. His friends later started calling Kerala, by another name , God’s Own Country, after his birth. Nemmara, a small village in Palakkad District, became widely popular because of mainly 3 reasons… One, because of the well known local festival called Nemmara Vallangi Vela which is only next t
