I got as far as uploading these on Tuesday before the dial-up connection apparently irretrievably died.

everybody’s gone smurfing… smurfing cardomom

	Gopalakrishna cutting jackfruit
	digging a banana-plant hole
	How a banana-plant hole should look
	My banana-plant holes: some practice needed, methinks.
	The public school in Nedumkandam
	exposure before my peers
	planting
	digging cardomom-plant holes

Bugger, bugger, bugger! A big political demonstration has just gone by. My camera is 2 km away, back at the house. Duh!
