Kerala Man drives 150 Kms to deliver cancer drugs to girl stuck in COVID19 lockdown #WATWB
Stuck in the midst of a brutal national lockdown due to the COVID19 pandemic, a four year old girl from Alappuzha in Kerala had it worse than others - she suffered from a form of blood cancer that required her to take regular treatment without fail. For these treatments, she had to travel across city borders to the Regional Cancer Center (RCC) in Trivandrum, something which became impossible after the lockdown.

Mango Season in Kerala #WordlessWednesday
It is mango season here in India. I went unintentionally viral last month while asking the general public on Twitter about their opinion regarding the best mango.Over 500,000 views, 7700 shares and 2100 comments later, as you can imagine we had reached no consensus at all.For me, living in Kerala during this lockdown, I've been quite fortunate.
Nice infographic.

Completing the #BlogchatterA2Z Challenge - Reflections
I did it. I completed the 2020 BlogchatterA2Z challenge where a blogger writes 26 posts a month (based on the 26 alphabets) revolving around a particular theme.
This is my 5th year taking up and completing this challenge. And while the first year (2016) had been about TV Sitcoms, the four years since have been about showcasing real-life heroes who do kind deeds that often do not get enough attention around the world.
That has always been my aim with this series - to give them the spotlight...
