Walking along the houses i noticed a lot of people sleeping outside their houses.. some on weaved beds but most slept right on the roads or pavements because of the heat.. Most of them completely covered themselves with their blankets... head to toe because of the mosquitoes..

All shops were still closed except the tea shops... As men gathered to get their regular spot of tea to start their day...

On the way back to the house one of the ladies whom i've noticed around Keelaputur came up to me and spoke to me in tamil... She asked if i understood tamil of which i said only a little... Then we had the most interesting conversation i've ever had in tamil... kekeke... amazingly we both understood each other... She asked all the usual Indian Auntie questions... like where i'm from? how many siblings? about mum and dad? etc etc... She used to help around F.I.L's house a long time ago..
I took a photo of her near her house and the shot is one of my favorites.Her friendly nature was captured in her smile and the sunrise had changed to a golden hue which gave a beautiful glow to her face....

Got home to the smell of yesterdays curry... mmmmmm.... and nice hot idli... but before that i went up to the roof to observe keelaputur waking up...
What caught my eye were two little children helping their mother collect water from the public tap..... with their little mini water containers..... they were so cute... and so eager to help their mother... the little girl especially... laughing away as she ran to and fro with the container in hand... It was a beautiful moment.... one of many.. India... it was getting to me...

After breakfast, Uncle Mani took us to Trichi town for more saree shopping...wow... the sarees were so beautiful and cheap...
Walking past the Fort Gates in the city centre i gazed at the Rock Fort Temple... cant wait to visit it... It was a tiring day and the heat really drains you..... best to visit early in the morning.
