Taliparamba-the landscape just seeps into you!!!



"I think the kind of landscape that you grew up in, it lives in you. I don't think it's true of people who've grown up in cities so much, you may love building but I don't think you can love it in the way that you love a tree or a river or the colour of the earth, it's a different kind of love. I'm not a very well read person but I don't imagine that that kind of gut love for the earth can be replaced by the open landscape. It's a much cleverer person who grows up in the city, savvy and much smarter in many ways. If you spent your very early childhood catching fish and just learning to be quiet, the landscape just seeps into you. "

Taliparamba- My beautiful home town


I truly cherish about my home town, Taliparamba. In fact, I enjoyed every moment of my school days in and around Taliparamba. This place was blessed with an exquisite natural beauty coupled with a rich cultural heritage. And it was indeed a heaven on earth for me. My schools, my teachers, people and communities around me made a lot of difference to my life.

I always ponder over my thoughts about my childhood memories around trichambaram temple, raja rajeshwari teample- one of the oldest shiva temples in kerala. Pariyaram, Mukkunnu , Kuppam,kooveri and of course lovely rivers around this beautiful place.
