My son , DIL and kid went to chickmagajur resort couple of weeks back with no after effects .I believe the resort had locked in the servants months back and sanitised the place.They ensured that guests do not come in contact with each others. Towels and all toiletries were in the room on the day of moving in for the period of stay.Food left outside the door for picking up.

Curious ?
This "குத்து" was not preplanned or stage managed ! spontaneous response! The pulsating beat came alive when the(tourist) guide switched on the music player - simple easy for குத்து! - some put on their dancing shoes on the spur of the moment!
While strolling along the Marine Drive a street vendor selling toy dholak was pestering me to buy one Offer price ₹300 - To shake him off I bargained for ₹ 100 and he walked out as expected. At the jetty near the boarding point he reappeared - I had to buy that now he was ready to give it to me at the bargained price of ₹ 100 ! Dholak is a clue for identification !
You can see me in the group photo seated 2nd from the right in a light coloured saree Jambu in Red T shirt standing . Next to him on the right (bald) is Razak- Now try to find them in the Video! Hope you do it right If not then I will do it for you!

If the wedding is in Kochi and staying in Ramada may not be convenient . It about 50 minutes drive - Ramada is in Kumbalam -Eranakulam is nearer about 30 minutes drive - If it's leisure travel Ramada is fine every thing will be arranged by them for a price ! Commuting will be an issue - you will always be delayed - Caught in the traffic jam !

There is a commdity and spices rxchange in
ernakulam .Some spices are wo=th buyingOne can
visit old jewish synagogue .
Also chinese fishing nets are good to see.
I used to work on a project at cochin refinery
I have made multiple trips and spent months there
I have lost touch with most of my friends there.
Then the airport was at the end of MG road within
the city
I liked the kerala cuisine with plenty of coconut and
hot water with spices. One had to beg for ordinary
rice as mostly boiled rice was the norm

Kerala has a high literacy rate.They have a
matrilineal system where women own property .
Their marriages are simple affair and separation
also much easier.
It is a multi religeous society.
They had thefirst democtratically elected
communist ministry headed by EMS .Now they
have Left front LDF and Right front UDF alternately
governing

Though I worked during the lockdown but yet there was a restriction of movement too.
But Post Covid Lockdown I realized that the Forced Quarantine had intensely disciplined me.
That is :
1)I mostly stopped eating meals at restaurants.
Cook all my meals till now.
2)Realized that I do not need that many clothes when there is no where to go.
3)I dont actually need to go out as much besides to work becos forced quarantine made us dependent on our inner-self to be self sustaining.
4)Dependency on entertainment was practically zero, I chose reading and enhancing knowledge than entertainment...hardly watch TV these days..it just isnt needed as much.
5)Also dependency on humans is almost zero becos anyone could be a potential Covid 19 carrier.
6)Charity increased, felt a sense of responsibility to help and care for less fortunate more becos it would really hit you on the face that many others are suffering and we are not and we would start to feel guilty for being "privileged"
7)Food didnt become a priority,it was not a time to be a Master chef but it was time to reflect to eat what we need to live and not eat to live...the palate didnt desire "rich" food anymore..the palate just wanted healthy simple food which feeds the soul more than the body
8)Post Covid 19 lock down..its almost a state of Zen where one has learnt to be in harmony with the inner self and less dependent on the world.
Hi good to see a posting from you
You being a doctor fully realise how badly covid could hit humans
We are ignorant about corona and ignorance is bliss .We continue merrily continuing to enjoy food cooked by rxcellent chef home
My cook was chef in five star hotel.He gave it up to become cook in 3 or 4 homes everyday.
Social distancing is fine.A minor compromise with more sanitising and face mask .
It makes little differenc e if food is home cooked instead of outsourcing.
Song and dance ( mostly classical and light ghazals) continue as before
No need to change much and become a recluse.
I can understand more peoplr can go below the poverty line.
We can help with some charity . I prefer to pay full salary for lockdown period for those who work for me and reimburse their medical bills.They are my lifeline and first priority.
I am supporting as many as six employees of mine in delhi and bengaluru. If well off support a few there might be less misery
Doctors are only availablevonline.
Normally one resident doctor ,nurses , lab technician are available.
This is status of top notch hospital in bangalore
