KOCHUKOTTARAM

It is a tiny locality in Poovarany village ,  which comes under Meenachil Taluk of Kottayam district . It is located seven kilometers away from Palai the nearest municipality& two kilometers away from nearest town . All though it has a weird name which means small palace in Malayalam .   It is the most quiet place i have been so far. A stream " Meenachil thodu" which pass through the middle of the place makes it a lovely place . Most roads here are along sides of the stream . Hence its a really wonderful experience taking a bike ride along these roads . 

            When i first came to this place things were different than it is now , Lots of trees along the banks of the stream  . Most of which have been cut down to make way for road development . The roads at that time weren't any good would hardly fit a car .& there wasn't any bus service . There was absolutely no cell phone reception . But now things have changed a lot good roads , cell phone reception of almost all service providers , couple of bus services . The only land mark in this locality are a Govt LP school and a Holy Family Chapel which were also there when i first reached here. After all these years this place hasn't lost its natural beauty. And i am glad it is my place, where i am from ........
