Coconut water


I wanted to tell you about affection. In its simplest, unalloyed and spontaneous form. When you go with a desire to listen, talk, empathise and help, you can experience it, village after village.

"Your good guest-treat him like God" said the great sage Valluvar. And I was experiencing it here. Coconut water, cool drinks ("dei, saarukku cool drink vaangiyaada"), tea, coffee, biscuits -- the people won't let you go without having something. And when you have a plan to visit many places in one day, you can conveniently skip breakfast,lunch and dinner!
