Saturday, October 19

The weekend arrived and we had our first free day since we arrived at 5am Monday morning. Or did we?

Irma had spotted that the first Leela Bazaar, a craft, culture and cuisine market, would take place at a small cultural centre in Trivandrum; so we called Vinesh and off we went.

When we arrive I notice a statue of Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, the pithamaha of carnatic music, standing at the entrance to the hall. We spend about two hours there and make a lot of contacts: artists, designers, and event organisers.

Phone numbers and email addresses will get exchanged.
