Thrissur on Friday: Art

21st October. Kerala Kalamandalam is the place we head to. It is something similar to Chennai's Kalakshetra. Almost 500 students learn various forms of dance and music. All this under the Gurukula system.

We watched students playing mridangam, midula and many other instruments. Also saw students in a facial expression class, in a mudra class.

Sat in the world's only only Kuthambalam that is built according to an ancient specification and interacted with the secretary of that place.

Left the place at 1, had a great lunch(which cost us only 20 bucks) and saw a small-time Malayam actress called Beena(she didn't look all that hawt). Then, went to a famous Malayalam poet's house and museum. Stood near a river called Bharatapuzha.

Bid bye to Hotel Alukkas and embarked on the 4-hour journey back to home sweet home Kottayam. We sung all the way and argued a lot on the point of suicide. The van's tyre got punctured when we were just 2 kms away from our insti. Spent some time on the road(near which, a house played Tamil songs) and then were back to the insti.

Well, I'm back in Kottayam. Home sweet home.
