Littin of Poovar - Ordinary man with an extraordinary Talent

Travelling opens the invisible door inside you that you never thought existed, allowing people to enter who leave behind a lifetime impression. Littin did the same for me. He was our boatman in the backwaters of Poovar, who made sure that his lesser-known destination and he himself had a special effect on me.

Small-statured with curly hair and a face full of beard and a face that lit up while smiling, Littin is a man full of talents. Expertly cruising along the picturesque Poovar, he never fell short of stories. Talking about his life, his family, and his dreams, he came across a man who has given a lot to this world but not many know about him. He is an ordinary man with extraordinary talents. He may come across as just a common man but I knew he was anything but common.

Born in the quaint little island village of Poovar, like his birthplace, he may not have had big exposure but he definitely wants visitors to marvel at the place which he holds dear to his heart. There seemed an unspoken purity in him as well as in his birthplace, Poovar, which shall be my other story on this destination.

What surprised me the most, is that he may be a simple boatman but his talents are limitless. He is a musician, a painter and a true nature lover. Strangely in the 3 hours’ time that I spent with him, we formed an undefined friendship. He opened the door of my heart to leave a forever memory of Poovar and him.
