Xmas was fun.Its been 4 long years since i visited Trivandrum and I never got a chance to see my aunts new flat.Its 4 and a half straight drive to Trivandrum.In between had a chance to sip a cup of coffee at this place
I seriously thought on why dad agreed to have the evening coffee here,it looked really expensive to me.But he knew about the restaurant at Alappey before.Its called Kalpakavady.So guys if you are passing by ,do check in and drink a coffee(not the cafe latte ,but the nadan style coffee served).Was light on pocket too,the bill for the four of us was below 100 buks.
We reached the flat at trivandrum(near the medical college) at about 9 :00 pm and I got an excellent eye infection.So Xmas was spent half blind 
25th Xmas day we went around the shanghumugham beach.It was not super cool but it sure was fun.My grand mother had a good time and all of us were happy to see her happy 
.
The beach was house full.Never knew the trivandrum people were this out going .We had to wait an hour just to take the car out from the parking lot.Driving was not fun that day.Not because of the traffic but because of me being half blind.
Visited attukal temple (famous for Pongala) and Time flew. It was about 9:00p.m and we decided to have dinner at Devu’s(my cousin sister) favorite place KEPCO.
Its owned by the Government of kerala( we didnt know that) and it took them half an hour to inform us that they are closed for the day.So its a big dis-like to KEPCO.The opposite hotel S & S had the honour of serving a half blind driver and people with him.
Next day we headed straight to Nilamel.That place is one of my favorite places in the world.Nilamel used to be a lonely village town.The whole of Nilamel had less than a hundred families.Imagine a hilly village with lots of Rubber estates and fewer people.To add cherry to the cake there is this awesome home of abu chettan which had all modern gadgetry like video game (super mario,contra to name a few 
) .Now that was in my 2nd standard, things are getting more crowded at Nilamel with fewer rubber and more of people.But abu chettan’s home is still the same(video games got replaced with wi-fi ).All credits goes to Kochachachan and Kunjammamma (they look exactly the same as they did when I was in 2nd standard).Thats abu chettan’s home right below.
we used to have the most awesome time at Nilamel.It was more like adventure , trekking an entire hill and reach the top was like climbing mount everest in second grade.Me and abhiram (my cousin at nilamel) climbed Mount Everest this time too.This is the top of not the world,but top of Nilamel 
.
Reached back home at Cochin on sunday night just to discover that Im not half blind any more .
