Dharmadam beach - a serene destination!

An unforgettable picture!
It was not a pre-planned visit to this beach when I had to go to North Malabar last month. But I feel lucky to capture these amazing pictures of Sunset at this beautiful spot. Dharmadam (Dharmadom) beach is a must-see destination on the way from Thalassery to Kannur very close to Thalassery. No one will be disappointed visiting this amazing destination where nature is blessed with beautiful scenery everywhere!

Another fascinating photo!
The sea had receded more than the usual limit when we visited there. Such unusual phenomena were quite common along the coastal lines of Kerala after the dreadful floods recently.

The twilight scenes were a treat to the camera eyes!

Amazing capture!
There is a beach park at Dharmadam packed with a lot of activities so kids will not be disappointed visiting here. Overall, this is a very cool beach!

Dharmadom Thuruthu
A panoramic view of the famous Dharmadam island (Thuruthu) is another attraction. This is a small island filled with lush greenery surrounded by the Anjarakkandy river on its three sides and the Arabian sea on the other side.

The soil at the Dharmadam beach is not loose like other beaches and is much alike the Muzhappilangad beach, the only drive-in beach in Kerala.

Check the old post,  https://magnificentdewdrops.blogspot.com/2013/04/muzhappilangad-drive-in-beach-hidden.html for more details about Muzhappilangad beach.

No doubt Dharmadam beach is a must-see destination in North Kerala!

Happy friendship day...

Wishing a very happy friendship day! @Subhash bose park, Kochi
Wish you all a very happy friendship day!!!

I take this opportunity to wish all my blogger friends a very happy friendship day😊

As you all know, today is friendship day! It is interesting to dwell deeper into the origin of the concept of friendship day during this very cool occasion. Probably originated from an idea floated by the greeting card industry to boost their sales, this movement has picked up momentum triggered by the popularity through the social media. Now it has been recognized worldwide as an important day. People value friendships a lot and it is very true that good friends help in personal growth through mutual support and serve as anchors in times of need. It is of no surprise that the need for a unique day to celebrate good friendship was adopted very fast by the people from different parts of the world.

People from many countries including India are celebrating friendship day, today, the 5th of August. In some other parts of the world people celebrate friendship day on other days, but in Asia, the first Sunday in August remain popular as the friendship day. However, WHO has officially named 30th July as the friendship day.

Join hands, let us celebrate a very happy friendship day!!!

Awesome, yummy pizza...!

Pizza Hut is always a comfort food destination as far as I am concerned, and there are quite a few outlets in our city within easy reach. Today we visited the Pizza Hut outlet at the Centre Square Mall in Kochi, Kerala. This is a very cozy place where you can relax and enjoy yummy pizzas, drinks, pasta, and bread!

It was a family outing with some shopping on the agenda. Being the weekend the mall was busy. The Strawberry milkshake was very tasty!

Well, one cannot go wrong with this pasta. The garlic bread side dish was yummy! We enjoyed the ambiance, the staff was very co-operative! Great hospitality!
Lime soda was another cool drink!

Once in a blue moon...

Kite flying in the backdrop of the moonlit sky!
(The picture is for representational purpose only)

The whole world is witnessing a rare astronomical event that occurs "once in a blue moon", a total lunar eclipse! The Sun, Earth, and the Moon get aligned in the same plane with the Earth casting its shadow on the Moon producing the brilliant color effects! Awesome!

Watch NASA Live TV for a comprehensive real-time view of this event! NASA dubbed this event as 'Super blue blood moon', a super, a blue, and a blood-red moon visible sequentially! 

As of now, on the NASA Live TV, the Moon appears red, waiting for the blue moon to erupt!
