Enjoying Heavy Rain and Storm at Kochi, Kerala

It is monsoon season in Kerala and even though Kerala experienced a week monsoon this time, the last two days saw some heavy rains and storms. The heavy winds along with the rain has created enough havoc to disrupt the daily lives and power has went off in most of the places in and around Kochi. It is a nightmare for those riding vehicles on the road as most of the roads are in bad state and the visibility is almost poor. I managed to reach office without getting too much affected by the rain and wind, but after arriving at the office, I could see the situation changing drastically with the emergence of heavy rain and wind.

It was a great experience watching the rain from the window of my office and could see the heavy rain and wind making the big trees dance to their rhythm. The heavy wind made sure that rain waters got sprinkled into my room through the window. I could not do anything more rather than just enjoy my cup of tea and watch them coming. After few seconds, I was forced to close the doors of the window and again sit back and enjoy the rain from inside. Hope that the rain and wind retreats by the time I leave office in the evening.

Olive's new hotel at Kadavanthra Junction

Kadavanthra is one of the prime areas in Kochi and Kadavanthra junction is a placed which is marked for its unique buildings and shops. It has been a long time since I visited this place and today I happened to pass through Kadavanthra junction. I was quick enough to notice a new building by Olive hotel .group at Kadavanthra junction. The building is known as Olive Downtown and looks really nice and add more charm and beauty to Kadavanthra Junction in Kochi.
The hotel Olive Downtown is sure to have some of the best facilities and amenities which are the common attributes of Olive Hotel Group.

Another hectic traffic jam at Edapally junction

Yet another hectic traffic block at Edapally junction has taken my valuable time. I was off to pick someone from Kadavanthra and this unexpected block in the noon time really delayed all my plans. Usually such heavy traffic and blocks are rarely seen during this time at  Edapally. Adding more to this, the bad state of the roads also made things more difficult.
