I am Kirit Dave, age 60, a business man from Gujarat, have found your blog activity very much. I wouldl like to know that, in Kerala, there is a festival called “Shabari Malai” held each year. Could you provide me information about that If I want to come. I have already searched in your blog, its not here. Please suggest me.

Thank you very much !!

pechu kettu ennodu relative pole erukku!! enakkum oru periyappa undu, who always repeat “shavamae, shaniyane!

anyway condolences. i am from kochi, roots are at palaghat.

I am very sorry to hear that. It must have been really very difficult for you being in UK and memories flashing in your eyes day and night. Please convey my condolences to everyone at home. Your family was going to be there for my sis’s engagement at kollam. Just heard from appa abt mani mama. Appa was in shabari malai at that time.

Take care..say hi to radhika,
Sunitha.

Thanks. Sometimes I think if the next generation will miss all that closeness of the extended family, but maybe they will have some different experiences.
