Day 4! Observation: South Indian mosquitos are much easier to kill than Southeast Asian ones. They seem slower & stupider. Iāve killed like 10 of these guys within the first three attempts. I donāt condone revenge killings but these arseholes *are* persistent (thatās my blood) https://t.co/6ZDqLU3n2F
Epic ghee thosai for breakfast! š the chutney is so fresh I want to cry. Iām going to miss this so hard when I get home https://t.co/SmqahWWjKu
TIL the President of a serious political party in Tamil Nadu - he was its Deputy Chief Minister from 2009-2011 - is named MK Stalin https://t.co/eLHL76CCAT
I know rare and terrible things happen at a much higher frequency in a nation with the worldās largest population (4x the US population, for context)... but itās still really harrowing and sad how much this happens, and how commonplace and unremarkable it feels https://t.co/n4Rm6o9UVP
After breakfast, weāre done with Karaikudi and weāre heading back to Trichy! The plan is to check out a couple of temples before our flight home. Here are some small kovils and churches I noticed on the road - 2nd pic is a wedding venue https://t.co/A4FARSQSao
A peaceful and serene 2 minutes on the open road towards Trichy - will make for interesting contrast with other traffic scenes later https://t.co/K7FohDuF5c
I see women in saris fairly often back home, and I see motorbikes all the time, but Iāve never seen a woman in a sari on a motorbike outside of India. Itās pretty cool to witness https://t.co/SJW7QvkitJ
Our driver stopped to get some food from a popular roadside stall, and this truck stopped behind us so I got a chance to take a proper picture. I love this so much, this is a proper mood. Look at All The Details!! https://t.co/GOxN3FDCdl
I seriously cannot get enough of these trucks!!! https://t.co/LlRuMGyrXq
Some additional road scenes. Iām so impressed by how neatly the wood is packed in that last pic - have seen several trucks like that, so itās not just one extra obsessive guy https://t.co/baOcIGBJlQ
Getting closer to Trichy; some cool rock formations in the distance make for interesting scenery https://t.co/wK4E3V7rIR
Ran into some sort of strike or protest that was holding up the traffic. Was kinda cool and slightly scary...? A group of highly charged people can get pretty wild pretty quick. Thankfully they let us through https://t.co/mt6aaR9X1T
Travelling to the Brahma kovil in Thirupattur. Iām holding my mumās phone to guide the driver, and it looks like Google Maps has a ride-hailing option that shows Ola prices, and this photo is so high-res, technology is amazing https://t.co/tfsyLFYP7i
Some pro-environmental street art, Iām guessing it was done or commissioned by the city since itās so clean and tidy. Comparison pic on the right pillar says āthenā and ānowā - āwe used to study under the tree, now the tree is on the whiteboardā - kinda deep for a public message https://t.co/aD5fuaoalI
Wondering now, again, what a Tamil/Indian cover of Born To Be Wild would be like (first wondered it on the back of my cousinās motorcycle) https://t.co/kCQzLWATtd
