Allapuzzha/Allepey, Cochin, Kerela [Nov 2002]. A spur of the moment trip... Reshma Pais in the photo... This popular tourist destination is the backwaters of Kerela... That off-season November we travelled, however, was quiet and less busy with tending to tourism, we managed to have some time off just being...

I'm missing photos of the Synagogue and early slab inscriptions in Cochin... Wonder how I managed to lose them and retain these ones... We visited at the time of a ceremonial congregation, where we were told that Cochin's Jewish population was the second last remaining native Jewish population of India after Maharashtra... and this population was migrating to Israel soon... :) Perhaps Reshma has more info on this... :) Think we waited a while to talk to some of them, but didn't quite manage to...

The synagogue was of course, needless to say, as gorgeous as ever and so were the slab inscriptions... Don't quite know what they read though... Didn't find out... :-/ but didn't think I needed to at that time and moment... :) If I manage to get my hands on the photos again, I'll put them up... :)

About Me

My photo
Just another wanderer through time, moments, memories and change... Mostly a free-spirit... Love nature, earth and all her elements... This blog is my modest creative work through art and photography. Photography started for me as a somewhat serious hobby in college, and art has been my therapist on and off from my school days, and prevented me from taking to unhealthy coping mechanisms sometimes... Now, I hope to be able to apply my creative side more to trigger eco- consciousness in children and adults alike. My form is mostly abstract and I create cathartically and from my memory of places, nature, animals and people I have connected with. If you do want some of the digital prints of my paintings, please email or PM me on Facebook.
