In the seventh year of Digital India people are in grip with Digital payments interface or unified payment interface as we can see the familiarity of digital transactions using this interface through Quick response code - QR Code .During my recent visit to nearby town manjeri in malappuram district  I was able to get  many  things done  without dispensing cash.its a great instance of digital savvy merchants and customers .Moreover it works in tandem with the technology advancement happening across the globe like  Google Maps Navigator Assistance  and its precise navigation and route options with any means of transport or if you like to take a walk.its foolproof except in remote locations where Global positioning system-GPS is unavailable

Trissur -തൃശ്ശിവപേരൂർ being The cultural capital of Kerala holds a special place in my heart and i had a nostalgia during my sojourn to trissivaperur couple of days ago. This is due to many reasons both professionally and personally .my former employer was based in Trissur a famous financial concern which has many branches all over India. This is how I knew about trissur accompanied   by many official visits.Other than the proximity to our city Calicut its rich cultural heritage captivates us to explore more.Trichur district hosts the world renowned Trissur Pooram where many caparisoned elephants parade in front of Vadakkumnathan Temple in Thekkinkadu maidan during the festival where we witness huge ensemble of percussionists competing with each other among humungous crowd.Though i didn’t get an opportunity to be there on pooram i catch hold of it through television .All the vantage points of the city will be occupied to get a glimpse of the festival.but my love for the city is for another reason. one of the prominent colleges of trissur ,Sree kerala Varma college since 1934 stands out for its heritage of being an institution which equip  young talents to show their mettle in sports as well as in academics .I happened to meet youngsters of kerala varma college in my college days  during inter collegiate competitions as  kerala varma is affiliated to the University of Calicut. They inspired me to pursue sports as a career though it didn’t take me anywhere. I went to the college to see its politically Conscious 

 campus and stadium. I cherish the moment of association with one of  its alumnus whom i had an acquaintance.
