Another travel tale from Kerala – with interesting photos and comments
March 21st, 2007
Here is an interesting travel tale from Kerala. A well written blog entry on Kerala experience!
They paint their huge work trucks in this fantastic detailed way. Isn’t that the coolest?! I love it. The trucks are owned by individuals. Having one is a great source of livlihood for the family. I don’t know if you can read it but up at the top it says “Donate blood.” Mark explained to me that if they include a public announcement in the decorations they get a tax break.
As you walk through town you can see a Muslim mosque and in the next block a Hindu shrine and in the next block a Christian church. There doesn’t seem to be any tension or difficulty with so many beliefs co-existing. With all of the hub-bub and conglomeration everywhere I look there is a feeling of fluidity to the interactions of the people. In New York the energy felt more like a pulse. In India it feels like the current of a river.
