This one I'll do in just pictures.....random moments from the trip....moments where you touch base with that space at one notch deeper level, but those that don't really fit into any of the specific stories
The room I stayed in is behind, the one under the tree.....an absolute first in terms of shack stay experience
Some pictures from a walk on the beach: A volleyball game on in full earnest
A crab that looked like it was staring straight at me
A father and daughter working in earnest on their fishing nets
A small temple I chanced upon, done up for dasara..... looked like the quintessence of a place of worship........simple, serene, powerful, peaceful.........spent almost an hour there as I had it all to myself ....loved it
An idol there that I thought was so beautiful
Mahabs is known for locally made chappal, and diksha was getting one for herself. Be it intricate old sculptures or making of chappals....looks like the eagerness and interest is on par.
Salt making, on the way to Velankanni. It's kind of amazing what a thin line divides the blue (in this case grey) of the sea and the sky
Karaikal a port town.... with lots of what I thought were fishing trawlers
A boat building facility we saw on the way
One of the other temples at Kanchi which had some amazing scuptural work. The chain in sculpture is always so fascinating.
The shore temple at the distance....as seen from Bob Marley's, and all the fishing paraphernalia and tourists in between
An odd fish that got washed ashore. This pic diksha sent me yesterday.
Unusual art by these two, again at Bob's...silhouettes of a cat on one pillar, and mice on the other
And that brings to end the chronicles on a fascinating trip........ one that was physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually enriching and fulfilling.
That is absolutely awesome!
