FIRST IMPRESSIONS KOCHI, KERALA! 🇮🇳

[@webabhi]

I love cinema of Kerala, I have seen more than 100 films from Kerala with IMDB ratings of above 7. My favorite Kerala directors are G Aravindan, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Padmarajan, Shaji Karun, Dileesh Pothan, Ashiq Abu and Lijo Jose Pellisserry. These are my top 10 Malayalam films: 1) Angamaly Diaries (2017) 2) Ee Maa Yau (2018) 3) Anantaram (1987) This film by Adoor Gopalakrishnan is like Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). 4) Guru (1997) 5) Traffic (2011) 6) Munnariyippu (2014) 7) Maalik (2021) 8) Android Kunjappan ver 5.25 (2019) 9) Esthapan (1980) 10) Great Indian Kitchen (2021)

Loved your ramble and your mumble around Kochi. IT HAPPENS to be my home town but never saw it fully, much less than your ramble. Goodluck to you, with your positive outlook, you will see things others cannot see.

For wild life you should visit, waynad, munnar and thekady there do a boating in periyar lake...

[@justindu6829]

Kerala still has those age old trees atleast 150 to 200 years old. Keralites call those trees as 'grand mother' or 'great grand mother' Keralites love trees a lot ...You are going to witness it sooner. Almost each and every house will have trees lots of them. The word 'Kerala or Keralam' means 'land of coconuts' Njoy

[@sivasankar7261]

Hello, it was nice to see your video about your visit to Cochin and the surrounding parts , marine drive , Subhash park etc.etc. Also noticed you seem to have an affinity for MOTHER NATURE and wild life. That is nice. SInce you mentioned that you have a 5 year visa to come to India., on your next trip, try to fly to the Cochin International airport, NEdumbassery, the first solar powered airport in the world. SInce you are a wildlife enhusiastt, try visiting ANAMALAI in the state of Tamil nadu , a wild life sanctuary and ofcourse our very own LULU mall, Cochin, supposedly the biggest mall in India, wayanad, Alleppey, to name just a few places. . On a fun note, must say, you have a striking resemblance with the hollywood actress sandra bullock CHEERS

[@vinuviswakumar400]

I live there so I can imagine how much time you spent walking around. You sweat like crazy even after just walking for 10 mins in that heat and humidity. Unfortunately, you missed the more beautiful part of the walkway when you turned left and walked towards the metro. There's another walkway if you had gone a little more to the right after you got out of the mangalavanam to the main road, I prefer walking there as it's got more greenery and a better view. The water metro was supposed to open last year but it keeps getting delayed. You can still take a boat from the jetty to Fort Kochi in the old diesel-powered boats it's another means of public transport to Fort Kochi. Some of the venues for the Kochi Biennale are close to the Fort Kochi Jetty I think. It's there till April 10th so do give it a try

subhash park that's the name of the park and you walked all the way from high court junction to near the park... I have been in cochin last 18 year not exactly in city it's outs curt of cochin, but it's cochin most densely people who are living related to IT, Infopark Cochin. Anyway I am not from cochin, Alappuzha(Alleppey).. You will get some house boat or small boat trip here(as you said electric ferry not started there but you will get boat cruising there and even you can enjoy cochin Navel base and shipyard over there in cochin) and you can enjoy natural beauty over in kuttanad. Any sorry I forgot to say you are first person to show us mangalavam bird sanctuary, marine drive and subhash park through youtube as a foreigner(fort cochin it's ok but this is heart of Eranakulam city). Thanks for doing such a lovely thing...

We don't have much of pedestrian friendly 'pavements' here. So just to be on the safe side, walk on the side facing the direction of oncoming traffic. That bus was way too close to you.

lovely stuff. greetings from Goa. Though you seem to have recorded from a regular phone like I do, the sights of nature is what I admire and thus enjoyed the most. That said, do you use a stabilizer when you edit/produce the video as you as with walkabouts there are constant shakes, but your video doesn't give that impression. And whatever happened to your GoPro? A new follower here. Have some catching up to do.
