River in the Backyard!

I was in Kerala on on 16th May conducting a "Communication Skills" Program for the executives of MIL Controls (India) Limited. MIL Controls is a leading supplier of Control Valves to various industries, particularly the energy sector. The valves manufactured by them are high precision contrlo instruments that are pivotal in any boiler installation or any other application where there is a need to control the flow of any substance in terms of pressure, volume or heat. Originally a joint venture between Best & CRompton and Masonelian (India) Limited, in 1997 it became a part of the KSB, a German  groupwith international brand in pumps and valves.
The factory is built on a sprawling 23c acre piece of land right in the middle of "God's Own Country", Kerala at Meladoor  (Male-uh-Door(OO as in Room) about 4 kms from Mala. Though Meladoor is in Thrissur district, it is nearer to Aluva which is just 14 kms away.

I stayed at their guest house at Aluva in a place called Periar Gardens, adjacent to the banks of the river Periyar. In fact from the garden at the rear of the Guest house I had a pleasant view of the wide periyar river.
