Kerala, India

Where the story begins.

Kerala is the root of the family name and the place every other page here leads back to.

This page will hold what the family wants to keep about Kerala: places, houses, journeys and the everyday details that are easy to forget and hard to recover.

For now it stays deliberately spare. Nothing here is written on the family's behalf, and nothing is added until someone in the family shares it.

If you have something to add about Kerala, keep it safe. There will be a place for it here.
