The venue was ?Ente Naadu? a Kerala Tourism initiative held in December 2008 in Kochi. While the attendants were engaged in the conference business, a pair of eyes roamed from one person to another. On the lookout was Mr. E.P.Unny, the Chief Political Cartoonist with The Indian Express desperately seeking for an interesting moment and transform the same into a sketch or doodles as he prefers to call it. According to Mr.Unny ?Anything a cartoonist does is not a cartoon; they are sketches?. He has penned a travel book titled ?Spices & Souls, A Doodler?s Journey through Kerala?.
