Lose an hour in the morning, and you will be all day hunting for it. ~Richard Whately

We will start with this meaningful thought by Richard Whatley, yes the morning hours are so precious and for a few citizens of Calicut like me the life starts by 5.30 AM, while majority of them will be still enjoying their dreams. People are becoming more health conscious these days and number of them coming out for activities in the early morning hours like Jogging, walk and yoga are increasing day by day.

In calicut, places like Sarovaram, Beach-side Promenade, Mini-bypass road etc are becoming popular places to start an healthy day. I can say in few months time, Mananchira will also re-join this group after renovations undergoing are over. Here i will post a few snaps which i took with my mobile cam today from Sarovaram Biopark.
