North kerala is known for men and women of valour and skill .
The land of thacholi udayanan and pazhasi raja who decimated thier enemies .
But today that valour is used by political parties to pounce on one other in orgies of violence murder mayhem and bloodshed .
The land of flowing rivers green forests undulating hills fresh flowers black roads green ponds brown fields swaying coconut fronds and beautiful women .
The land of kalari payittu the mother of all martial arts
The place from where indian circus grew
Above all the womb of communism in India
Every where one looked one saw temples mosques some churches and Che Guevra staring at you .
The kannur has a lurking underbelly of political volence of hoary cries of lal salaam interpersed with sanskrit slokas tingling of bells and beat of distant drums
The kaleidioscopy of theyyams the balooned dresses of the kathakali artistes merges with the mundus of the sagaavus
The green was all over with bright flowers blue hills black clouds and red tempers .
