Greetings, Anirudh, and welcome to Tripatini! It's great to have you with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.

To get the most out of Tripatini, you may want to take a moment to join several of our many groups which you may find of particular interest, such as Tour Operators/Suppliers, India, Eating/Drinking the World, History/Heritage/Archaeology, Eco/Sustainable Tourism, Adventure Travel, Resorts Corner, Hotels/Motels, Shopping the World, Museum Mavens, and plenty of others covering many other topics and most destinations across the globe.

FYI, on your profile you'll see a green bar marked "Text Box," which you can turn into a box containing not just text but also photos and even videos about yourself, Kerala, and your company (you'll benefit both yourself and our other members if you include your company name and URL in your profile; we also need this information in order to feature you as a member vendor in our India group).

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, associates, and clients. It's fast and easy to use our "INVITE" function above left on the navigation bar to enter e-mails (even your whole list at once!).

Thanks much for joining us; we wish you an outstanding holiday season, a great start to 2010, and look forward to seeing you online.

Cheers!
