Read: Angels and Demons: My review
The first book (or rather 2nd) by Dan Brown book Davinci Code was great. Angels and Demons was good to start with but became cliche and somewhere down the book , he did not know how to end the story.
Also, I feel that his SEO guru must have told him to start a controversy so that people will buy the book - he brings in vatican and exploits key people to get some publicity (but ahem.... it fizzles out). Acceptable except for the last few chapters.

Movies: Saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Saw butch Cassidy and the sundance kid
After all the hoo ha, the movie seemed just about average as it did not quite stand the test of time.
All the same imdb puts it at 8.2 and is in the top 5000!

Interesting performance - Must see in Cochin - Kathakali Dance Centre
The Cochin Cultural Centre - Kathakali Centre is centrally located in Cochin(Kochi) and in Ernakulam and is a popular destination. You need to generally pre-book to get assured seats for the 5 PM Lecture Demonstration
I am not the dance-seeing type (ahem...), and resisted going to this show. However, since we had an evening to spare I went with my family. The show was amazing and for a person like me who did not know (or care) anything about dance, the color music beat and speed was captivating.
The make up (a very important part of the show) starts early and please dont miss it. Also the proceeds from the centre support Kathakali - a dying art form
We saw it in the one located off MG Road.

Cochin - ferry ride and Photographs: A trip to Kerala
For Rs 50 / person this ferry ride for about 2 hrs is one of the best ways to see the city scape of Cochin
The best time to go is around 5-6 PM and watch the sunset and the lights appear (a tip from our tourist taxi operator which was very useful)
They play nice music too on the ferry!
They show you the Cochin shipyard too. The ferry begins off MG Road.
Here are some photos (and some tips on taking night city scapes)
