Having arrived at Cochin at 3:45 AM from Mangalore by Malbar express, we were glad to find Ajju waiting for us at the railway station holding a plackard in my name. We both found him to be very shy person hesitating even to acknowledge our greetings.

He drove us directly to our destination, "Reviera Suites", an apartment hotel just about 5 kilometers from the railway station.
