Nearly every place we have visited so far; town, hamlet, fishing village or city people have been itching to either shake hands and exchange pleasantries, practice their english or get a photo, sometimes with an entire family which could make up the cast of an indian show on broadway. Although a slightly strange experience at first its now almost always funny. One family in rameswaram just wouldnt let us go, taking a real shine to us both; Niki looking like some sort of female BFG or lady gulliver in the pic below. The little old lady couldnt contain herself and was clinging onto Niki's arm like gollum and his prescious. She was the mirror opposite of gollum in all other ways, a very sweet and funny old lady with a huge smiling family who spotted us again at the train station remembering our names and asking for a final one or two or twenty two photos before they returned back home.
Very heartwarming.
