Palakkad

PALAKKAD - At about 8.30 a.m., Shashi Tharoor tied the auspicious 'thali' around long-time friend Sunanda Pushkar's neck, exchanged jasmine garlands with her and presented her with a 'podava' or new set of clothes, in a traditional Kerala Hindu wedding solemnised at the MP's ancestral home near here Sunday.

PALAKKAD - A massage on a wooden plank in natural light with no air-conditioners or music systems around might not be your idea of a relaxing massage, but this is what a rejuvenating ayurvedic massage at the Kairali health resort is all about.

PALAKKAD - Read a book, sip herbal tea, ponder upon life and soak in a relaxing ayurvedic massage.
