  6. Hi Mr. Tharakan,

    Landed on your blog while searching for Kerala architecture. Is this your house? It's beautiful! :)

    I blog at http://threedrinksahead.blogspot.com

    Was searching for possible locations for a shoot. We're looking for a typical Kerala house. By the way, I work with CNN-IBN. Was wondering if you could help me.

    You could call me on nine.eight.one.zero.one.four.one.eight.five.five

    or email me, or leave a comment on my blog. :)

    Looking forward to hearing from you. :)

  7. Beautiful house and well maintained. How do you manage to maintain it so well. Do you happen to know of any architects specialized in the renovation of old heritage houses like these. My house is also about 70 years old and i would like to have it renovated, keeping the old look and style intact. If you have any contacts, it would be of great help
