When the Professor from IITTM, Nellore called asking us to take around their latest postgraduate batch in tourism for a heritage walk around Fort Kochi, we were delighted. Ofcourse, being an Alumini, it is always a pleasure to reunite with the faculty and students once again. But the most interesting aspect of these academic tours are the intense curiosity and eagerness of the students to know more about a destination they are visiting. There is always something new we learn on the tour with students, like how to present a theme in a new way especially when the students in the group are from all over India.
Thank You IITTM and students, we wish you the very best and hope to see you back here as dashing professionals.
PS: In the background in the picture, we can see a mother and son whom we met at Paradesi Synagogoe. She was from America and was visiting her son who is working in Delhi and both of them had decided to come on a tour to Kerala. Our students were quick to spot his adopted famous Indian head wobble which he gladly acknowledged as a fond local influence.
