God’s Own Country
So I was surprised today to find out one of my overseas programmers that has been working for me for 3 months was a woman. I had no idea. Of course, when i admitted this to the programmers they laughed at me, because apparently Sumi is a common girl’s name over there. Who knew? Not me.
I joked with my wife that now I understand why Sumi was a slower worker and harder to communicate with. Just kidding of course.
(JOKE removed to prevent any misunderstandings)
So as if that wasn’t an interesting enough surprise, I also learned that she lives in an amazing part of India.
Here is what I found out about it:
Kerala, situated on the lush and tropical Malabar Coast, enjoys unique geographical features that have made it one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in Asia. Fondly referred to as “God’s Own Country”, Kerala was selected by the National Geographic Traveler as one of the 50 destinations of a lifetime and one of the thirteen paradises in the world. Its unique culture and traditions, coupled with its varied demographics, has made Kerala one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
