back home
i didn't get to venture out of the city to see the the great, rock-carved seaside temples of mahabalipuram. but, i wet my feet at the beach where a few rows of houses were washed out to sea by the tsunami, threw myself at the feet of a statue of the saint sriramakrishna, and raced through chennai blasting bollywood beats. it's okay. i'm starting to get a handle on this place.
bonus fact: the tamil people have officially only had first names for decades now, and it is a contentious, flammable topic, fit to to be discussed very delicately, never in the company of strangers.
