ROW Lecture Tour - India Part 5

This is the type of bed on which most sleep, commonly known as a charpoy. Fortunately I was not required to sleep on one without a mattress for more than one night, yet that night was not too sleepless either. Otherwise I was provided with a thin, but quite adequate mattress. Overall much better than  the bed of nails often displayed as commonly used by yogis.

If they could afford to do so, the local people loved to paint their houses in bright colours.

It is a real joy to see the pride these people take if and when they can afford to do do so. Most, of course, cannot afford to do so.

From time to time, amongst the two or three roomed dwellings of the average person, we find some quite large mansions.

No matter whether the house is large or small, it is always open to visitors, and especially some-one from a far country is made welcome even in the most modest of homes.

Whilst in Kerala I had the priviledge and joy of meeting with Dr Sukumar Azhikode, writer, scholar, author,orator, and teacher. These are some of the awards he has received in his lifetime.

Dr Azhikode and myself.
