At the airport... I should mention that the new international airport at Bangalore is truly incredible. We reached Kerala in an hour and as we stepped out of the airport, we took a lungful of fresh air. It felt revitalizing as opposed to the polluted air in Bangalore.
Two days later was Vishu festival which is the Malayalam New Year's Day. The sadya (traditional lunch) that we managed to put up on that day left me and my MIL sweating.
Adi and cousins busy with goats in the neighboring home. I never got to see Adi around most of the day as he was busy exploring the neighborhood and the vast green land surrounding Aju’s home.
The Buddhist monks on an expedition carrying fishing rods (Adi had a close hair cut to save himself from the sultry weather)
Check out the approach road in front of Aju’s home. Myself and Shilpa (Aju’s niece)
Aju all set to fish in a canal running close to his home.
Cousin's vegetable farm
Bitter Gourd plants
Fishing in style...
..and the poor fish got caught so were 8 others which were fried and eaten that night
Carefully transferring the fish into the jug...
Lush green greenery
A Happy Adi
