Just a few more days and then we’re off for a while. We will be heading to Kerala this time and I’m really looking forward to the trip. It’s an area where I have never been to and it will be a great time, I’m sure. I’ve been reading up on places and things in the area, so that I am more aware of my surroundings and the historical significance of them. I find that it’s no use going to a place just to stare at the buildings and artwork or temples, it is important to understand who was behind them. And history is something that India is not short of…there are stories and tidbits of history everywhere you look. And that is the best part of the trip for me, learning something new, something that cannot just be gained through reading abook or watching a documentary.
