Paddlers from outside Kerala have found a home away from home at Annamma’s small house at Pulikkayam during the Malabar River Festival.
Amit Thappa and his relative Naina Adhikari, two young paddlers from Uttarakhand, who knocked at the doors of Ms. Annamma’s home for their short stay during the kayaking championship, have been experiencing the warmth of the 69-year-old’s hospitality and affection.
