India - Expectedly Unexpected... or Vice Versa...

Doors open to the Future :
Nextgen - the star in her eyes...
Note his T -Shirt : I have my Mom's Brains and my Dad's Bank Balance.

The Great Wall of a thousand shiv ling temples, appears a few miles outside Salem...

Temples ho to yun ho...




Just being on the road, this last trip to Salem and Coimbatore (and Palghat) is being alive to our potential... a beauty we forget, we take for granted...
