It looks like it, this morning, the monsoon can be earlier this year.
That’s then on a happy note after some pleasant discussions with friends in WordPress before I am writing this.
For me the rainy season is the best time in Kerala. I am looking forward to the Happy times sitting in my waterfront balcony and seeing sheets of water coming down. (Thunder and lightning, please stay away as usual).
Then the drive to Thidanad and interior Kerala when it’s raining.
This year there’s an added attraction. Like I posted yesterday, Neelakurinji will carpet the Munnar hills with bluish flowers again after 2006. I hope to see a number of friends coming down for that. I am only too happy to assist.
And the second Saturday of August (every year it’s on that day) the world’s best boat race ‘Nehru Trophy Vallamkaly’ will be held in Punnamada waters in Alleppey.
I am really hoping that I will be seeing some of you, at least, for these Happy experiences.
I love Kerala monsoon….nostalgic for me…. 🙂

Hi I have never experienced Monsoon. One question how many people per boat? They look very unusual.

There are 110 people per boat which is 140 ft long and the stern rises 15 feet above water.

Wow, I have only seen boat races with 6 or 8 people, 110 sounds like a lot of co-operation and knowledge is needed. Take care.

This is to me the best in the world. How about combining boat race and Neelakurinji
