It was last year in December that I visited Poovaranthode, a hilly area 45 Kms from Kozhikode. I am here again.When u compared to the last visit,we are more in number, with Praveena and her three kids added to the group.Like the missing 20th hijacker, the person missing from our group is Praveena's husband, Siby, who landed in Mumbai last night. We set out at 9 a.m; five adults and five children, in a Chevrolet Trivera. We stopped at Mukkam for breakfast. The food and the hospitality are commendable, and there is a wide variety of items to choose from.We had some Parottas packed for our destination because the place is sparsely populated, and there are no hotels around. The journey up the hills after Koodaranji was a test for the driver, to manage the hairpin curves and steep ascend.At some stages,the road is damaged. Anyway, we reached Poovaranthode on time. Ajay's uncle, Kariachen lives near the road He and his family had left for Kanoor the
