Bathroom Break
On the long bus journey from Kumbokanam to Tirunelveli, we stopped for a bathroom break. The bathroom consisted of a large field with some bushes and trees. What a laughable scene it must have been to see hoards of women in white saris and Punjabis spreading out across this green and golden landscape in search
