it rained in Fort Kochi...

Every year at Fort Kochi,the monsoon season

I loved the rains of Fort Kochi...my kind of rain..

sometimes it just rained on and on...without a stop

it drizzled too

i sat here,looking down..

the many mornings that i enjoyed...

and those walk along those narrow lanes

The rainy blues and the rains of kochi that haunts me in my sleep,the rain that makes me dream.

The chai on the wet window sill,the chai and plumerias on the walks,i saw the moments that swelled before the rains and their after moments..the coral  vines  and the wet walls

Tea Pot Cafe

A Visit to the Tea pot cafe and having endless cups of tea and pastries happened during the last summer vacations.But the post comes a bit late.

Tea Pot cafe is a delightful cafe on the main streets of Fort Kochi for tea lovers,a perfect and cosy nice little place for your afternoon tea: 15 different brands of Indian teas (they serve coffee as well), pastries and countless teapots as a design element.

Actually our search for an afternoon tea after walking through the streets of FortKochi led us to Tea pot cafe.We were led us to the mezzanine floor where we could actually see the beauty of the kettles hanging from the roof.

We had a really nice time at the Tea Pot Cafe.Just can't number the things we ate ,(because we ate too many things) but the tingling taste of the tea, still lingers on the tip of my tongue...eagerly looking forward for our next visit.
