Silent gateway to the Ernakulam South Railway Station

Hello Kochi’tes. I’m basically from the North of Ernakulam, now a ‘Gallan’too. I’m back home after spending a week long vacation in Kochi.I’ll tell you the story behind me being a Gallan.

Have had been to Kochi many a times before, and knew exactly how to reach both the railway stations(Town and Junction), be it anywhere from the city. Actually, I thought I knew all the ways to the stations, until the Gallan who dropped me back proved me wrong.

The Puthu-Vypin beach

Before describing about Puthu-Vypin, This Gallan would like to tell a few words about its mother island, the Vypin. Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) describes Vypin as to be the island having the highest density of population in the whole world.Another Cool Trivia for Kochi to boast of. Wikipedia also says that this 27 Km long (approx.) island was formed after a heavy flood in the year 1341.

LCD Auto-rikshaws in Cochin/Kochi

Check out what i found on the roads of Cochin, a few days back. Taxi auto-rikshaws with LCD Screen attached to them showing Video ads!
Yeah, you heard me right, LCD SCREENS! lol.
At first, i too was a bit bemused by what i saw. ‘What on earth is an LCD screen sitting on an ordinary Auto???’.
