Letter from Seoul 50
“Flew in to Kochi from New Delhi on Air India 503
Didn’t get to bed until later in the night
On the way the airplane food was spicy
It was just a three-hour flight.
I’m back in India
I’m in Kochi for the first time
You can’t appreciate this city, until
You’ve been here.”
Kochi is located on the southwest coast of India in the state of Kerala. Popularly known as “Queen of the Arabian Sea,” it is a flourishing port city of 3.6 million people offering a rich blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture.
Since antiquity, Kochi has been an important spice trading center attracting the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Jews, Arabs and Chinese – followed later by the Portuguese, Dutch and British during the colonial era.
This interaction enriched Kochi’s culture through centuries of trade, migration, and conquest.
