Monsoon, football and fishing

Kerala was a football crazy state. It still is, but the craze for cricket is overtaking the love for football. So I was happy to see these determined footballers at Valiathura, a fishing suburb, at a vigorous game of football, despite the pouring rain and the lashing waves.

Rains in Trivandrum

The monsoon set in in its full glory on 3rd June. Being a Monday and first day of school, there were traffic snarls everywhere. Low lying areas were also inundated. 

Shops had little business on this rainy day,  but shopfronts were convenient shelters.
