January 5-8, 2015 -- Two Things

Two things.

In the South of India, one sees many men wearing sarongs.  We noticed this to some degree south of Chennai, but it is VERY common here in Kerala.  A very practical garment, it can be worn long (more formal) or folded up more Gandhi style - like shorts.  Anyway, as we walked along the very rural road to bird-watch the other day, a businessman walked past with his computer case - on his way to work.  Seems incongruous to me.

Also, I keep seeing plants that are so impossibly coloured or shaped that I keep thinking "fake".  This red palm - all over the Lemon Tree property- is a good example - but don't worry, I have plenty of others. (I just heard a communal GROAN from you all...)
