Description

With text and sketches by Unny, this album is a doodler's journey through Kerala. Kerala is not a destination: it is an addiction. Come to think of it, it has been so for many others as well. Even Vasco da Gama, the most prominent visitor to drop by couldn't leaves these shores for good.

Someone up there must surely have missed feelings about this place. He gave Kerala a great geography and carpet-bombed it with history. From times difficult to date, the region has seen a steady stream of men engaged in every conceivable pursuit from business to pleasure. Explorers, invaders. Proselytizers, traders, travelers, town planers, tourists an sundry seekers of well-being and nirvana.
