Salmon or Jew fish. In Malayalam, it is called Kora. It has soft muscles and very tasty fish when it is fried or curried. It is very easy to clean since its skin is covered with scales. No need to take the skin out. It is available for Rs. 180/- per kg in Bangalore

This cake is bought for my daughter’s B’ day from Sweet Chariot, Bangalore. It weighed around 2.3 kg including the decoration done. It costs Rupees 485/- per kilogram. It is stuffed with special Black forest cake and decoration is done in fresh cream. It tastes excellent. Normally i don’t like the taste of cherry crushed and layered in cake but this one was different.  

Look at his eyes, if they are piercing with hypnotic intensity as if they are penetrating your very soul, you can confirm he is a Scorpio. Mercilessly Scorpio eyes bore deeply into you and you will have to break the spell and look away first.

When I was having a tea with few of my friends on my B ’day, they came to know that my better half is a Scorpio and immediately someone commented “so your husband is so sexy and charming”. Yes, he is very charming, calm, intriguing, seductive, strong, striking, intellectual, passionate, caring, supportive and  more over he is a self-made man.

I am a Capricorn and in relationship with a Scorpio man for last few years and the attraction was instant. The journey with him was not so smooth and time has tested our relationship through lot of ups and downs. I learned many things about him in our journey together.

To my experience  Forgive and forget doesn’t always apply to him and views relationships through the eyes of trust, and he  always knows when he being deceived but reaction is kept at minimum and nobody can read him also. His expressions are blank because whatever be the emotions stirred inside nothing will be reflected on his immobile or impassive face.

His tone is velvety soft, speech is low and measured but he is all about control and is very egoistic. He knows what he is and he knows what he is not, and nothing anyone else thinks will change this knowledge. If he is close to you and formed an opinion about you, no one in the world can sway him.  Honesty, sincerity, guts and reliability are ingrained in him. He dominates without my knowledge and I do enjoy it. He is very good at picking up by reading between the lines and before you know it you’ll realize he’s in control of the relationship, without lifting a finger.

He likes to travel and surround himself with all the available luxury.

His body never shows whether he is embarrassed or proud. He hardly smiles but they are genuine. He appreciates certain things if he feels that it is genuinely superb. He is jealous but normally his jealousy comes out in the form the great Scorpio sting.

Never ever arouse his temper. A furious Scorpio man can give you lifetime-lasting scars, especially when he is hurt. He has to win in each and every aspect of life and failure breaks something inside him. He is choosy about his friends and he has hardly any friends to say.

If you want to attract a Scorpio man, you should be compatible to him. Make sure that you always pay attention and stay focused on him otherwise the his jealous side will come out. Be honest and considerate with him. You need to be open and care free providing answers to his curiosities otherwise he will be bored of you.  You need some courage to live with a Scorpio man. This is a man who will expect to give and receive 100%, and he has a personal skill set ideally suited to making sure that happens. If you aren’t ready to commit to someone on that level then he is best avoided.

We two are incredibly stubborn. We do fight and will sometimes battle to the end to win. We argue over the most trivial things and it turns into a horrible argument that literally leaves us both emotionally exhausted, confused, angry……and worse…. me on the brink of ending the relationship but I am not going to lose what could be the greatest love of my life because there is playfulness and compatibility on many levels. While other times we’re the happiest couple in the world.

Compatibility of a Scorpio man and a Capricorn woman:

A Scorpio man and a Capricorn woman can definitely form a permanent bond. They just need to compromise a little, especially on their stubbornness and inflexibility. The chemistry between the two will be great and they are so alike that they wouldn’t have much trouble understanding each other. His passion seems to take her feelings out of that shell and in the open. Her loyalty and dependability will make him feel secure and in turn, he will shower her with love and affection. Both of them will balance each other beautifully since both are enduring, loving, loyal, passionate, intellectual and so much more.

On Christmas day we started to Wayanad. We planned for 3 days in Wayanad but cancelled the last day of sight seeing due to bad weather.

Kuruva island is one of the important attractions in Wayanad. This island is uninhabited and  an ideal spot for picnic. It is 17 kms from Mananthavady. To reach the island we have to cross a small stream by foot. Ferry service is available to reach the island but could not get one to reach there since it is so crowded. Water level in the river was very low we crossed the river by foot to and fro.

Kuruva island or Dweep is consists of group of islands inside Kabini river and covers an area of about 950 acres of ever green dense forest. Nothing so specific over there in the island except you and the chirping sound of the birds. If you want you can just roam around the island but leave the island before 4.30 PM. Tree top huts are available on a rent for Rs. 750/- Island has a entry fee of Rs. 10/- per each person.

Rava Upumav

Lot of small restaurants like mess houses are mushroomed on the road to Kuruva island. On the way back, we had tea from one of the mess houses. The menu was Rava Upumav, sugar and banana. The prices are affordable.

It is one of the must visit places in Wayanad.
