Kit Kit says thankameow!

Published by Anita

I laffed and laffed when I read about Usha’s encounter with my pretty little doll while I was away in Chennai last week. Vaish was the chosen one to check in on Kit Kit while I was away. Along with Usha, both of them came around to my place and seemed to have quite an adventure there. Vaish even called Kit Kit a “puppy”. Kit Kit, understandably, has not recovered from the insult ever since! She was telling me about aliens in the house after I got back. Now I know she was referring to both of you! But a special thanks for being such nice aliens, says Kits. And she hopes you will visit her again. Meow!

Colours of the sky

Colours of the sky, originally uploaded by anitabora. As you might have gathered by now, sunsets and sunrises are an immense source of fascination for me. I have spent quite a few rolls of film trying to capture the skies! Here, I tried to capture the winter sky in Bangalore before the warmer days hit us again. It took me a few tries since it’s usually around 6.00 pm or so when the sky turns a brilliant and beautiful purplish pink (and only on particular days!).

Bangalore-Chennai-Chidambaram-Cuddalore-MGR Thittu

A quick update and a bunch of photos. We drove about 1300 odd kilometres in 3 days, travelling from Bangalore-Chennai-Chidambaram-Cuddalore. And then beyond Cuddalore to a few villages in and around the area. We crossed over to a really beautiful island village called MGR Thittu, literally swept away by the tsunami. The people have all relocated to the shore and are in relief camps. The women still fear the water, but the menfolk want to go back and resume their fishing activities as we found out talking to them. After spending the whole of Saturday in Cuddalore, we started back for Chennai late evening. Kiruba’s car couldn’t take it anymore and broke down around midnight. His car had to be abandoned since there was no way we would find a mechanic at that time of the night. Kiruba and all his fellow passengers had to halt a bus on the way (somewhere near Pondicherry) to get back to Chennai. It was an eventful trip. Some photographs taken with a digicam.
