Welcome to Tamil Nadu

Vanakam - welcome to Tamil Nadu - Southeast state of India with coastal side to Bay of Bengal - my home state.

Been here since last Friday and its been great to speak the language and hang with family and friends here.

I was 4 days in Chennai and visited an agency with pretty the same story. And chilled for a bit in a lovely hotel which I will write more later.

Arrive in Nagapattinam - my birth town (Nagai) and been here for 2 days and celebrating the harvest festival Pongal. Unfortunately not enough time for anything just visiting family.

Tomorrow I head to my father's town and a village celebrate Mattu Pongal (Oxen Pongal) to give thanks to the farm animals and things, should be great.

Then heading to Pondicherry - formally a french colony and visiting couple of agencies then Trichy - a larger city to visit another agency. Hopefully I will have more time to chill and write something.

Have to getup in few hours.. see you guys in few days. Happy Pongal - Pongalo Pongal
