On my walk, I show you what Kochi was, what it is today, and how its past, present, and future blend together. We explore neighborhoods, hidden corners, lively streets, and food — meeting people whose lives bring Kochi alive. Along with history, I bring my background in yoga and meditation, which adds perspective and depth.
