Day five in the Big K
Put the alarm on this morning but continued sleeping, so no beach this morning
Had an amazingly tasty breakfast. It was coconut bread, shaped like a pita bread, and inside there was vegetables and a bit fish. I got two but could only eat one. Don’t know why they give me so much food… maybe because this is how they serve with big portions, or maybe they think I need to eat a lot… hehe. Runi’s wife looked a bit disappointed when she saw I only had one of them. She doesent speak English but I still told her in English it was so tasty and I could not eat both because it was too much. Still she didn’t look convinced.
I finished my morning coffee in the confy-chair and enjoyed the speedy fan. When I was sitting there Runi’s wife came with incense/rökelse and above my door there is a Hindu symbol of an animal and she reached her arm towards that picture with the other arm a bit crossing the other holding the incense/rökelse. Then she went to the end of the veranda and came back and putting her hand together in front of the picture. I didn’t really know what I was supposed to do right there and then… I was sitting there drinking coffee with my legs up on the two chair-extensions, laying there like a parsha… so I smiled and looked a bit at her and a bit not.
I just said to myself yes may God bless this room and the whole place and then I rushed off on my bicycle.
After some assessments and observations I actually think this is a special hindu day, either Fridays is hindu days (I should know this by now , no…) or this is a special day. Will find out. My memory is good but short.
And I actually think there is a tamil dog language. I realize that they all sound exactly the same when they bark and howl/ylar. Its especially clear when I go to bed and hear all the dogs in the neighbourhood. Makes me smile.
Tomorrow I will go to Batti and enjoy myself so probably no blogging until Sunday.
