God owned retreat
Sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and the hill ranges of the Western Ghats, Kerala is made of the coastline and the beaches, the forests and the wildlife, the backwaters and the houseboats, the therapeutic Ayurvedic and Yoga Spas, pure green of tea-leaves and fresh aroma of spices, a culture and a way of life jealously guarded against the onslaught of time and civilizations. Kerala has shot South India to fame in the globe-trotters bluelist. Records quote 3.46 lakhs foreign tourists in Kerala in 2005 and an increase of 15% is expected the following year.
It is both easiest and most difficult to write about something that inspires an endless flow of lexicon. And beautiful Kerala is emblematic of such perplexities. No wonder God called it His Own Country!
