First, a boy
January 6, 2001. Abhinav arrives in Texas — early, loud, and already plotting his next move. The story has its first author.

The film
Twenty-six years, three minutes
Everything the globe above just told you — but with our actual faces. Filmed across a Texas hallway, a Boston winter, a Singapore rooftop, and one very quiet backwater in Kerala.

Travel & stay
Getting to the last chapter
February is Kerala's kindest month — dry, golden, and warm without the steam. Pack linen, sandals, and one outfit you don't mind dancing in until late.
Getting there
Fly into Kochi
Kochi International (COK) is about ninety minutes from the backwaters. From the US it's one smooth stop through Singapore, Doha, or Dubai; direct flights run daily from the Gulf hubs and major Indian metros. Trivandrum (TRV) works too if the fares are kind.
Airport pickups can be arranged · mention it in your RSVP note
Where to stay
Three room blocks
We've held rooms at Kumarakom Lake Resort, Coconut Lagoon, and The Zuri — all on the Vembanad shore, minutes from the venue by boat or car. Mention “Abhi & Tanvi” when you book; the blocks are held until December 15.
Coconut Lagoon is reachable only by boat — worth it
Getting around
Slow is the point
Shuttles run before and after every event, and shikara boats ferry the scenic route across the lake. Taxis are easiest booked through your hotel — or do it properly and take a houseboat for the weekend.
Shuttle and boat times will appear in your invitation closer to the weekend

What should I wear?
Indian formal or western formal both welcome. Think light fabrics — February on the backwaters is warm, golden, and made for dancing.

Where should I stay?
