A tired animal

Kerala is full of street dogs. These are unfortunate animals who just happen to be born to the land where dogs have no safe place. They end up being a nuisance to the society and becomes a most hated living being. I hope we could curtail the street dog menace, without having to kill the ones that are born. Without proper waste management added as a component to any such initiative, the street dog menace will never end. 

Jackfruit

There's nothing like a nice juicy jackfruit. If there is a fruit I miss in the US, it is this tasty delight.

I can't wait to go back to Kerala and enjoy the small luxuries that my land provides. And, certainly, this is one of a kind fruit.
