I spent a weekend visiting relatives in my home state of Kerala. On this brief side trip, I truly went back to my roots, exploring the idyllic backwaters and beaches of the city of my birth (Alappuzha). This scene of tranquil beauty is a stark contrast to the lively ebb and flow of Delhi. The fact that these two strikingly different backdrops exist in the same nation is testament to the incredible diversity present in India.
