The name is Resul Pookutty!

Posted by admin on 24th, 2009

Resul pookutty was little known untill his name was nominated for the oscars and after winning the oscars he is a hero back home. He also won the Bafta and has won Zee film awards in 2004.

Resul was the sound designer for Gajini and saawariya. He hails from Kollam, Kerala.

Interestingly i find articles which tried to define the word “pookutty”. One paper defined the word as “Flower Kid” and another said “Pookutty” means dead drunk! The word pookutty will be quite normal for a keralite and i never thought of these two meanings. I actually thought it to be a surname. Definitely the name Poookutty has made History!. So he can now prowdy say, The name is Resul Pookutty.

A lil funny story to spice up
An Indian engineer was taking a client for the city tour and suddenly the client was excited seeing a board which read “Hump Ahead”. Have any of the indians thought of “humping” while seeing the board hump ahead??

Tourist Information Guide for Varkala Beach in Kerala

Posted by admin on 11th, 2009

I have been always hearing about Varkala beach and about its beauty. I got a chance to vist Varkala beach and i must say its awsome!. Here is some quick info for the tourists.

How to get to Varkala?

  • From Cochin – Train + Auto (3.5 hours) / Bus + Auto  (4 – 4.5 hours) . Total Distance of  220 Kms
  • From Trivandrum it takes just less than a hour. Distance of 44 kms
Where to Stay in Varkala?
  • There are lots of home stays in the cliff
  • We stayed at a bamboo hut and the rate was around 1000 for a night. They allowed four people to stay in the large room and provided extra beds.
  • Normal rates should be between Rs 400 – Rs 800 / night
  • Walk around the Cliff to locate hotels and cheap homestays
What to Do in Varkala?
  • Swim in the beach
  • Watch the sunset
  • Take a shower in the the mineral water gushing from the hill which is believed to have medicinal properties.
  • Do Shopping
  • Relax + Massage
  • Food (French, Israeli, American etc). You find almost every country menu in there.
  • Party
Varkala beach is one lovely beach. The water is very clear and you can go a bit into the sea (get guidance from the lifeguards). What makes varkala special is the cliff facing the sea. The sight of the sea from the cliff is breath taking. The Blue sea, the sky, the cliffs make varkala feel like heaven. I recommend you should spend atleast 2 to 3 days in varkala to enjoy and relax out there.

 

You will find three beaches out in Varkala, the White sand beach (near helipad) called the Papanashini beach and two small black beaches. If you are ready to walk you can walk through the cliff and end up in kaapil (where i heard you can do boat rides).

 

Varkala is also one amazing place for party animals. You must check out Funky, Blueberries and Rock n Rolla (it was closed when we went but might open soon)  for partying. Funky was the most happening place when we went and as the night hits you can definetly smell weed (beware!!!).

 

You can find all sorts of food there from French to Israeli to American. We had a tough time locating Indian food. Finally got tandoori chicken and chapathi at Sunrise hotel (near to helipad)
Varkala beach is a perfect spot to spend your weekend. I must definitely give a thumbs up for Varkala!!!
