Soccer reign/raining-ing on Kerala!


This summer hols from North I visited my grands at South, more specifically in Kerala. I wasn't surprised to see soccer being played in every alley of my district. After all, of all states Kerala is perhaps the most soccer crazy of all. But I was surprised to find it in the peak monsoon season, when rain lashed ruthlessly almost creating pseudo-sea's. The spirit isn't washed away.


Here the soccer game for a "normal" freak starts at around 6 am and ends at 9 am, the next session is never to far away. Pre-lunch games are a ritual, then the evening game is pretty obvious. During night games only happen if there are district tournaments which showcase the fiercest of game spirit for soccer.
