    I went to Kerala in 1999 with my now wife. We spent six months in India, travelling around, and Kerala was our favourite place overall. So happy birthday. Isn't Trivandrum now known as Thiruvanthurapam (or something similar)?

        Thanks Shog! BTW, in Kerala, beer shopes are closed [by Govt. rule] on the first day of every month. Cheers Smitha Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. -- Richard Bach

Shane# wrote: Isn't Trivandrum now known as Thiruvanthurapam (or something similar)? Yup, Thiruvananthapuram. But Trivandrum is still valid too. Most people can't spell and/or pronounce the new word (which is a malayalam word incidentally). Nish p.s. When you were in Trivandrum, which hotel did you stay at?

          Can't remember where we stayed in Trivandrum - only spent one night there before heading on to Varkala. Malayalam is a very curly language :)

            all of it really, but we weren't so keen on the Kathakali for some reason.

              Today is the date of formation of my state Kerala. Long, long ago [can't remember the year], Kerala was formed by merging all Malayalam [official language]- speaking areas. In other words, today is Kerala's b'day :). Not a holiday, nor a special day for the common man, but lots of activity by the politicians and the literary people. All men and women [mostly students and working people] wear traditional dresses and that is a great sight. Happy birthday Kerala!

                  That's not so bad - in Colorado (where i now live), the law forbids shops to sell beverages with greater than 3.2% alcohol on Sundays.
