Karikkakom temple- the abode of justice

                           
               
The 500-year-old temple is deemed to be the seat of sathyam (truth), dharmam (duty) and neethi (justice). The temple stands as a legacy of our ancient culture, where thousands of devotees visit every day to offer their prayers regardless of caste, creed and race.

Driven by the Dance Museum

At the outskirts of Vattiyoorkavu in Trivandrum, Guru Gopinath Natanagramam is grooming up dance museum- a vibrant space with rich traditions of dance forms in aesthetic pieces of murals, mannequins, sculptures and wall narratives.

Lessons in Forgetting


   'Tomorrow is only a convention' maybe considered as the best tagline for Anita Nair's 'Lessons in Forgetting'. The story based on how ‘today’ blends with the unpredictable 'tomorrow'  gives it a varied texture.

A Prayer


God..
spring or shower,
you've let me smile through my soggy cheeks
for i would let 
every bud that blooms and 
every drop that falls
to unleash my prayer for thee..

Wake me up




wake me up
from this dream, this life.
wake me up to bliss.
take me back to your womb
to diffuse in the darkness...
dark within, dark without
lull me in your liquid arms...

A Sachet of Love


                                             



                                    Who slammed memories on you?
                                    Not a fragrant flower to flaunt,
                                    Not a succulent fruit to show,
                                    Not a rapturous myth to reveal,
                                    Maples! conjured to bid adieus
                                    across slambooks, on wallpapers,
                                    adored epitome of nostalgia!

A Soul Takes Wing

                                     




no mushy memories, no mottled images.
no regrets. no alarm.
delirious and disturbed,
mind sparred by reason,
striving to knit a withered soul.
