Great piece. I know Kannan. He was my guide and fixer for a week in 2003. Glad to know he is still working. Did he ever build his house?

Here are some Rameswaram pix:

Of course you will keep going back and also keep writing, now what did we all join Indiamike for?!!! Only to read of such experiences and stories from visitors to India!!! Great writing, much appreciated. So what was your hubby's reaction on you jumping barbed wire walls?!!!

Cheers,

as an addendum, the experience was was the first time in my life that I wished I had a videocamera, just to capture the Dancing Vijays.....

Yogagal: Was googling for "Old Wives' tales" a minute ago and came across this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_wives'_tale. You mentioned tetanus shot in your jumping over barbed wire fence. Check it out

Sama · Apr 26th, 2006, 03:31

and which old wives' tale were YOU looking up on that page?

yossie23 · Apr 26th, 2006, 06:17

I was trying to understand what the phrase "old wives' tales" really meant to cover. Atleast, I learnt of a couple of interesting things that bring much relief

Sama · Apr 26th, 2006, 10:18

ya, I always wondered who the original old wife was who started all the tales....

What a lovely, happy story

Just the sort of thing I needed to cheer me up on a day when I need cheering up! Thanks Yogagal
