  • In Blog

Kochi – City of Charm

  • In Blog

The Bristow Land,Willington Island, Kochi

On a sultry April afternoon in 1921 when Robert Bristow got off his train from Madras (now Chennai) at Ernakulam Terminus, irony awaited him. At the water-front nearby, a small boat was ready to give him the first glimpse of the harbor he was to famously upscale. He did notice that the launch was called ‘Vasco’. But even before he could spell out Vasco da Gama’, Cochin had hit him. He was absorbed by “the blue lagoons”, “the interminable vista fading only into the sky itself” and “ the faint mirage of trees over an invisible horizon”. (more…)
