Caravan Ice Cream At Shenoys Junction


Chocolate dessertThe Caravan is easily accessible, located at Shenoys junction, MG Road, Ernakulam. Although located in the heart of the city, the inside of the parlour has a lazy air about it. There is soft music playing in the background and the ambience is dimly lit. It gives you an air of being shut out from the city despite being right in the middle of it. There is a wide variety of ice creams to choose from. The menu is impressive. The Caravan Special is worth trying.

Dalmatians Ernakulam saw a Dog Show yesterday near the Kaloor Stadium. The event attracted a lot of visitors. People thronged from all parts of the city. The venus, as expected, had dogs everywhere. The ticket was priced at 30 Rupees. The show had a few stalls selling pet foods, other pet products etc. There was one stall with pet birds -pigeons. All the other stalls had dogs as exhibits. It was a dog-lover's delight. The venus also had two rings where contests were held. In most of the stalls, there were no barriers between the dogs and the onlookers and dog-lovers even got to touch the dogs or take pictures.

Chekavar - Movie Review

Chekavar, starring Indrajith, is the story of a young police sub-inspector. A young, relegious, no-nonsense police officer is what Kashinathan (Indrajith) is. He, however, does not hesitate when he has to rise to the occassion and save his younger sister.

The movie is not the story of a meek, calm guy turning into a angry, violent, super-strong man after intermission. Kashinathan is calm, but not meek. He might look meek in the eyes of his friends and family, but he is not. Indrajith has understood the character well and has put up a consistent acting performance.The change in emotions does not change the person. Kashinathan's emotions change, his actions change, but he doesn't.

Oridathoru Postman - Movie Review

A film projectorThe postman fails to deliver. Oridathoru postman, with Kunchako Boban in the lead role, failed to entertain the Malayalee audience. The movie was in the news for its interesting theme and for the prescence of Sarath Kumar in its cast.

Innocent and Kunchacko play father and son in the movie. The movie is overloaded with messages on lottery tickets and on terrorism. The story begins only when we are halfway through.Kunchako's recent movies - Mummy and Me, Sakudumbam Shyamala, Elsamma Enna Aankutty - were hits at the box office.
