WHAT a day
Phew! What a day!
TODAY is the best day I've had since I came to Kerala.
We started off from here at 8.00 for a place called Kothamangalam, three hours from here. Reason: A seminar on "Media and Society".
The pre-lunch session was uneventful, the speakers boring and saying things that everybody know. Then came the lunch ... was super.
THEN .... we strolled off to the engineering college nearby. Because it is Onam time here; that college had a day off today and were having some cultural celebrations. Guys dressed like tigers ran all over the place(I even got a yellow-and-black stain in my shirt when one of the tigers shook hands with me). Drums were great. A guy was dressed like a Raja and climbed an elephant(a real one, mammoth .. me took a foto near it). And everybody was dancing and singing and whistling ... Maan, it was awesome. Almost a 1000 students shouting at the top of their voices ... the atmosphere was electrifying.
Never seen such a crowd having such major fun(except maybe in live cricket matches and Rajni first day shows). "Awesome" is the word.
And saw lots of future Gopikas and Asins in the girls. Super crowds, super girls. One girl in a pink salwar, standing in the third floor and watching the fun was "simply superb looking".
Made friends, talked to almost 10 guys there; made contacts, got a story for my paper.
