A recent Outlook diary covers Sunil Menon on Thrissur, in which I was quite surprised to see a reference to Chavakkad (add an a to it, and it means a trenchant "Go and die there" in Telugu!)
I remember visiting this place in 1991 when I went to see Guruvayurappan.
I was relaxing by a boulder, a reasonable distance from the tide line, with Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda next to me which was, for some reason, in the ubiquitous polythene cover :-)
Suddenly, a big wave came out of nowhere; the surf broke and, with that funny sizzling noise, came and lapped at the book!
It felt as if the Arabian Sea was saying Hi to the Great Guy.
