Incredible India (Part 1)

Ashviqha's Posting:

Yes! As you'll know we were in India for 2 weeks in the month of Dec. I know this posting has been pending for sooo long...I know some of you from Chennai awaiting for this posting..(u know who you are...:))... Hello Anne :)))

Hey... I saw elephant, cow, goat, chicken, pig and buffalo in just 2 weeks. Don't you think that's amazing? I've been in Malaysia for so long and it takes years to see all these animals but in India it takes less than two weeks :)

We had a tight schedule but I enjoyed every moment of it.. visiting Cold Kodaikanal, Spiritual Madhurai, Famous Kaniyakumari and Beautiful Kerala..... and 1 week of fun with family in Serene Muthur ;-)

Periappa's place...

Naan Auto Kaari...Auto kaari..

Magnificent view

My first scooter ride ...

Indian version of 'Pasar Malam'..but not at nite though, morning till evening.

Fully wrapped up in Kodaikanal, had no choice with the extreme weather there...

Baasha! Baasha!

PaPa -Daughter bonding...or was it too cold??

Next Neil Amstrong in the making...LOL:)

In Guna Cave, Kodaikanal

Beautiful view towards Guna Cave
Ppl would have thought we were crazy...YES we were crazy to go for a boat ride in extreme weather in Kodaikanal (with 10 degree C). Good example on 'how to waste money' ......hehe

Horse riding in Kodaikanal. Worth a ride eventhough quite costly.

In Kodaikanal Hotel, with the biggest Paper Thosai in my entire life. I was just posing for a click but the thosai itself went posing in PaPa's tummy...Burrrrrpppp!

This is in Kanyakumari..this Building; The Vivekananda Rock Memorial is built on the legendary Vivekanad Rock that juts out of the convergence of the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. About 400 mts offshore the two rocky islands became the seat of enlightenment for Swami Vivekanand, an Indian philosopher and social reformer. It is believed that in the year 1892, Swami Vivekanand swam across the sea and meditated on this isolated rock island, imparting the spiritual charisma to him. Too high level for me though...

The Thiruvalluvar Statue is a 133 feet (40.5 m) tall stone sculpture of the Tamil poet and saint Tiruvalluvar, author of the Thirukkural.
