K2 beach...

Well, we guys went to this beach which is awesome and is just around 25 kms from the Kampus (5kms before Kappad beach). On the way to Kappad beach, once you cross the single lane bridge just before Korapuzha, take the first left turn. The route is shown in the google map (search: IIMK to Korapuzha) is shown below. There is now road till the beach, so need to park the vehicles and walk on the rocks to goto the beach (nice fun indeed!!)

The best part about this beach is that it's similar to the Mahe beach. The sand on the beach isn't loose and an evening game of beach cricket is an lively way to refresh up!! So, whoever wants to enjoy the serenity of the Mahe beach or got bored of Kappad and Calicut beaches, this one can be tried out.

Also the beach is quite long to have a nice walk and at the south end of the beach, one can see the backwaters. This beach is unpolluted because of the absence of any visitors except for the few local population around the beach rocks.

Thanks to Dhaka for the entire trip plan for one more memorable trip in IIMK days. Some pics taken at the beach.

Therefore, visit this 'K2 beach' named after the bunch of K2 hostel guys who ventured to see something new!!

Have fun and keep the beach clean!!

Italian Idly and French Bonda :O ...

Some of the weird stuff I ever ate is the Mexican dosa, hmm.. It happened a few weeks back when I went to this famous shopping mall in Kozhikode. Dosa being one of my favorite items and it's been a long time since I had one, I was looking forward for a spicy dosa. After going through the menu, I hardly found one item that was known to me. Some items were like Mexican dosa, French dosa, Chinese noodles dosa .. :O

When did the traditional Indian dosa became westernized. It's fine that there should be new variants in the dishes, but aren't we losing the traditional flavor of the dosa. How does one feel when a new item is called "Indian Pizza" where pizza is topped with fried rice and served in sambar. (Shit!!)

Probably time would come when there would be so called Italian Idly (Idly with pizza), French bonda (French fries with flour), Chinese vada (vada with noodles served in sambar..ohh..yaak). I doubt whether the next generation can eat an authentic Indian dosa. Atleast hope that Indian flavors are not changed to a state where one can't find anything Indian in them. A dosa has a typical Indian flavor and I don't feel it in a Mexican dosa (dosa with noodles :O).

I still miss the traditional pesarattu (dosa made with green daal) with chopped onions, ginger pieces, green chilly and topped with ghee. (yummy...)
