This is why I love the tropical weather .

The beach is calling and I must go.

It is one thing to walk into a star hotel, being greeted with cold towels, strings of fresh jasmine draped around our necks, and sandalwood paste on our foreheads as a sign of welcome before receiving a fresh coconut… all the while flower petals rained down on us from above. Is this real life?

In this tropical Paradise of North Kerala, I have spent my childhood summer vacations watching the sun rise over rice fields filled with lotuses and watched it set among the palm trees. It is no secret to anyone that knows me, even marginally well, that I love the sea.

I never tire of being able to view the sea. Its endlessness transfixes me. I have always been a true blue beach bum by heart (Okay I absolutely love the Jungles too).

But, to stay on topic – I love the beach. Period.

There is a relief when I am around salt water. My stress drains out, my senses come alive, and I can block everything else out. ( the sea need not be your thing, any other kind of place that one can go to put the world on pause for a little while and just be alone with one’s thoughts and the sounds around.) It is where I long to go when I am craving to be away from responsibilities and weighing expectations.

It is where I go when I feel like I need to creatively recharge. It is my escape and should I ever decide I want to run away from home, it would not be very difficult for those who love me to locate me. On a lighter note, my personal GPS would guide me there when I need it most. It is where I can just be.

My husband knows (and expects) that there will be a day at the end of each summer or early autumn where I beg to pack up and head off for the routine unsurprising visit. I bring my simple notebook and a pen. I bring my thoughts. And, I sit for a few hours.

There’s something about the beach that always lures me in. Maybe it is the empty open spaces filled with blues. Or maybe it is the sound of the waves challenging the shore each time. Maybe it is the alluring dance of the beautiful coconut trees. The big vast waters, the beach lined with trees, and the stretch of nothingness brings me enough calm.

Looking forward to the next visit.
