Nothing happens, when you first drive the 8-odd kilometres from the Shornur railway station in Kerala, towards this charming two-bedroom villa in Painkulam village; when you go down the slightly winding road and open the large green gates that lead to this house built in laterite with tiled roof; or even when you enter the mud-finished morning room cum kitchen! Nothing happens, other than a quiet peace that takes over, forcing you to slow down, stay silent and simply stare! NOTE: Don't forget to say hello to our two beloved pet dogs, Savitri and Tamara, who roam the grounds with wagging tails and open hearts, ready to welcome you with love.
