Kovalam – An epitome of tranquility as the first lights of the day brighten the sky
Kovalam Beach is considered one of the famous beaches in India. It is located about 15kms from the center of Trivandrum.
The numerous restaurants and coffee shops dotting the beach landscape
While the beach is quite commercialized in terms of restaurants, boat operators and the likes, it was fairly tranquil and peaceful during my visit. It was also quite clean than most other beaches in India.

Aseem: From graduating in English literature to writing. Your life seems to have come a full circle. How did it come about?
Rajshri: Destiny. I took up English Literature because I love reading. Writing had always been on my mind but it never really materialized until now. I guess that’s why they say there is a time for everything.
Aseem: What’s the most challenging of them all – Writing or being a cabin crew member?
Rajshri: The most challenging was being a housewife.
