Cravings are to be surrendered to. Having flown to Fort Kochi from Kuala Lumpur, as anyone knows the airport is a fair distance from the city, and those not rich enough to splurge on door-to-door services will inevitably spend the day soaked in panic and drenched in sweat whilst navigating corridors, alleys, busy streets, staircases and public transport, dragging along luggage, laptops, short tempers and usually an empty stomach. ​

Uzan Bazaar has become quite the hive of activity of late. From it's decimated state just 15 years ago, plagued by dust and deafening neglect, like a phoenix it has arisen and turned it's feathers into a peacocks plumage.

My zeal for Indian food will never diminish until I'm six feet under and turned to worm food.
