Eight years ago, I started my career as a journalist with a national daily – the New Indian Express. I have freelanced for other publications too. And my work took me to different places.
But all those times, I had to be a spectator detached from the happenings to write the story as the primary duty of a reporter was to report things as it was. Though I enjoyed every bit of my profession for several years, one fine morning, I woke up with the realisation that I no longer cherish it and I needed a break – a break from the usual monotonous routine and a break to see places and write my heart out about them.
Though I began travelling, the thought of starting a blog to chronicle it never occurred to me. How could I not think about travel blogging as I had been a blogger for more than 10 years, writing about books?
I left Kerala and got shifted to a nearby South Indian state. It, then dawned on me that Kerala was such a beautiful place that many Keralites including me are not aware of its pregnant natural beauty, rich culture and tradition.
After two years, I decided to come back and get settled in Kochi, where I began working as a reporter with the sheer intention that I should travel the length and breadth of the state and bring out beautiful stories related to culture, art, travel and food.
And here I am…
I am a big time foodie too. Hence, I will also explore various Kerala cuisines.
