Hotel Seaview Kanyakumari

... a bit of a distance to go. So we sat by the window and watched as the red fields and unplanted rice paddies and coconut trees spread out into the distance, with mountains or very large hills and rocks as a backdrop to it. The sky was partially cloudy and many people sweated in the fields briefly. Then they too got left behind.
Road barriers blocked hundreds of waiting motorcycles, cars and buses on each side of a railway crossing at regular intervals, and villages sped by outside ...

... peregrinatge important dedicat a una de les deitats del panteo hindu que ara malauradament no recordo. Assisteixo als meus darrers rituals hindus de bon mati. Com sempre forca interessants pel color i la semblanca amb ritus arcans, a la vegada que poc comprensibles. Crec que em mereixo un descans ben merescut, aixi que decideixo passar el proper parell de dies a la platja allunyat de qualsevol liturgia i evitant la temptacio d'entrar a cap ...

At a small, nondescript beach the Indian ocean meets the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, their tropical waters stretching as far as Africa, south east Asia and Antarctica. It is here where Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were brought and released into the water, where the dreams and aspirations of over one billion Indians are washed away by the frothing ocean. Having already traveled and spent so much time in India we naturally wanted to see where this great ...

... but it's difficult for this chick to remain un-opinionated...for some this will come as no surprise. I'd really enjoyed our beachside vacation but was ready to head on. We also had a date in Tamil Nadu, for a few days time, so we needed to head off and off to Land's End we went. No really I think Kanyamaduri (South India's tip) was Land's End in the UK. It had tacky shops, terrible food and that wind swept look about it. I got stuck in though and put my feet in the ...

... His teachings about social justice and the tenants of Hinduism were quite articulate and true. What was very sobering was how true his thoughts on poverty and injustice still ring so true in India over a hundred years later. The morning sunset was early, and a bit overcast, but still nice to see before the train ride into Kerala.

... smiling faces of Sapa and Hanoi, to the heat, humidity, and general starey disposition of people in Madurai. It's a real attack on the senses and although it's been just over a week since we arrived, it's been amazingly tiring. Just a matter of acclimatisation though. Next, on to the most southerly tip of India, Kanyakumari, which turned out to be a pretty painful 6 hour bus journey through the sweltering heat. Oh, and if you ever pass through Madurai bus station and a small Indian man ...

... it is, after all, monsoon season), but our doubts ended up being unjustified. Just after 6 am the sun broke thorugh beautifully. Though we did not realize it, Kanyakumari was affected by the 2004 tsunami. There is no visible damage, but apparently the fish market was destroyed by the waves. It seems a new one is under construction, but progress seems to be moving rather slowly. After a short ...

... Perhaps it only marks a certain stepping stone-afterward everything in your life is delineated as "before" this event-or "after." Perhaps no further meaning is necessary. Perhaps this is because the journey itself makes its own meaning. To journey outward is also to journey inward. You go out into the wilderness alone, naked, and you enter into yourself and discover what you are really made of. This is certainly true of ...

... world go by. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great either. Constantly drizzling & cloudy so I never got to see the amazing sunrises or sunsets. Took the little ferry ride out to the island with the temple & then the one with the massive statue on, went to a hindu temple & another Gandhi museum. I really wanted to go to the Wandering Monks museum but ...
