Guess that is what nature (earth) is good at doing - grounding (earthing) us.

You did mention this in your book as well. As I said, my disappointment was more personal. I was part of a handful of clubs during my time in BITS in addition to being part of BSL. Neither was I part of any department (who would have had a better gauge on all clubs & department as they were the ones responsible for catering to the funding needs and scheduling of the overall cultural & science festivals in BITS. So I might also be guilty of not know all of the clubs & departments in BITS). In fact, DOSA is something I am hearing for the first time in the recent months. <br /><br />I am glad you enjoyed my review of your book.

I have visited a few places in Kerala and I have always been floored by the close to nature lifestyle and the lush green... Kumarakoam was a place that justified the phares "God's Own Country' phrase that many seem to associate to the Kerala and its beauty.<br /><br />My ability to appreciate your stories are probably a result of the fact that I am a bohemian myself and appreciate (and even welcome) differing points of views that enable me to expand, enhance, and enrich my frame of reference, increase my learning and understanding of life and life's perspectives.

Kerala is a charming place in many ways :) <br /><br />I'm particularly happy that you appreciate these stories in spite of their inherent bohemianism. Many people get disturbed by my stories.
