Dancing to Tamil filmie hits. Cruising the countryside, as Illyaraja and S. Janaki croon vintage love duets filled with flowers and sweet “kunjam kunjams.” Urged by one and all to consume huge quantities of dosai, rice, chutney, paysam and tea. Soaking under a waterfall with dozens of other women. Jumping into the Arabian Sea in Kovalam on the way back to the airport.
It was all part of a weekend visit with Alphonse’s sister Jo, husband Ramesh and daughters Darshini and Chittu. Traveled with Alphonse and his daughter Grace to Thovalai, close to the tip of India.
