Gokarna is a potpourri of temples with its very traditional South Indian temple-town vibe on the one side, and the completely opposite, hippie, beach vibe on the other. You need to be there to see how the town holds all of it together so gracefully! I’ll not lie to you. This blogpost is going to be long, but it is the perfect guide to Gokarna.

First Sunday of August is Sister’s Day. I have written a lot about my baby sister over the years and they have all been about our childhood and the love we shared. But this post is about a rough space our relationship traversed through during Covid-19. It took a while for us to wrap our heads around the changes my sister had gone through.

The Story of Star Crossed Lovers. Sufiyum Sujathayam deserves more attention than it is currently receiving. The story, the cinematography, the acting, and the music are all beautiful. When you look at the closure it gets, you realize that the makers have brought something different on the table. It definitely had more potential, but the lack of utilizing it doesn’t make it flawed in any manner. Here is why you should watch Sufiyum sujathayum on Amazon Prime.
It isn’t about social media alone. If you are spending too much time on an App without getting any value from it, it is high time that you ask if it is really worth your time. If it isn’t, take a ten day detox and evaluate how you could spend your time more productively.
Jayaraj and Bennicks were taken into custody on 19th July in Thoothukkudy and by 23rd early morning they died. The FIR read that they died due to fever. However with further investigation, four officers have been arrested and charged with brutal violence, sexual assault murder. Read about the details of the case, the flaws in the judicial system, actions taken by the government and how we as individuals should know if a similar situation arises to us.
