After my previous visit to Kerala for my friend's engagement, I have visited the picturesque state several times. I love Kerala for its beauty and lush greenery. I always prefer to take a train to Kerala. I get the chance to click lovely sceneries and landscapes as the train moves. I have a camera with high pixilation that enables me to take high-quality pictures without blurring. I mostly use these photos in my travelogues and blogs. Last Year, I participated in a national level photography contest and won the third place. I had submitted photos taken in the farms of Kerala. As I sit in the train, I love to watch cranes fly across farms.

I have shopped ornaments like chains, earrings, and bracelets from the capital city-Trivandrum. I still use a stone studded bracelet that I got there for a fifteen rupee. The inexpensiveness of items fascinated me. I could shop a lot of things with a thousand rupee note which wouldn't have been possible had I shopped at a mall. I had visited Ernakulam recently where I bought lovely artifacts and showpieces. One showpiece worthy of mention is the 'Kathakali'. I bought two large showpieces of the Kathakali and have placed them in our living room. Kerala is the only place where I am able to shop things even when I experience a tight budget.

I visited a number of churches in the Kottayam district of Kerala. The churches are large and most of them that I have visited are Catholic churches. Temples of Kerala are yet another delight to visit. The intricate architecture of the temples are lovely. I like the sandal paste that they give devotees. I have been to Sri Padhmanabhaswamy Temple and a number of other temples near the East Fort and West Fort. I have trekked across certain hills in Munnar. I also had adventure and fun with my friends on a recent trip to Top Slip which leads to the Parambikulam Sanctuary. It was an unforgettable experience.
