Humans by nature in God’s own
country – Yes, I am talking about the state of Kerala in India. Kerala is known
for its beauty and the hospitality of the people which makes it one of the best
places to travel in India.
A place is defined by the people
and while travelling every interaction with the humans of a place defines how
we enjoy the place. It is rightly said that “People will forget what you said,
might forget what you did for them, but people will never forget how you made
them feel” and the people of kerala truly epitomizes it.
The people of Kerala
will go extra mile to ensure you have an amazing travel memories in Kerala.
These people might not be connected to travel industry, they are the common
people whom you meet everyday on streets.
Human by Nature - My Experiences with the People of
Kerala
In 2008, me and my dad decided to
go on a road trip of Kerala and this was our first major father-son trip. We
were excited and we wanted to ensure that everything was perfect. We had booked
hotels, flight tickets, car all by ourselves. We were little skeptical
initially about the road trip as we didn’t know what was the condition of the
car, how was the driver etc. In those times there was not many online reviews or
not sites available through which you can book cars reliablye, so we had to
depend on local references through hotel.
We asked lots of questions to the
driver (his name was Jayanand) and I still remember what he said. He said “Sir
please come to my state. I know you I will see your worried faces when we meet
but when we say goodbye I know I will see your happy and smiling faces”.
That’s spirit of people of Kerala – truly
human by nature.
Let me take you on a journey of
Kerala and how the people of Kerala made our trip truly special and yes when I
was at the airport I had a huge smile on my face.
