Well, a perfect day yesterday (walking for miles through the hills yet never more than 5 minutes from a chat and ‘kardum chaiya’ [black tea], followed by an absoluted food-gasm).

Today I was taken to yet another wedding: this time Balingram Roman Catholics: they acknowledge the Pope as boss yet use orthodox (possibly even ‘old believer’ style) liturgy and do it all in Malayalam for around three hours.

All I can do is sit and try to prevent my head from exploding. More detail when I can get my head around it.
