A Lazy Wet Morning, Some Stray Thoughts

It is an engrossing book that gives a picture of Jeyamohan’s extraordinary life and the society of the south of India, with some interesting folk stories vastly different from East India, where I grew up. It feels like we are from a different country and a different time. The diversity of India, its society, religious practice, folklore and politics are awesome and boggle us, to say the least. Yet we have cohabited for a few thousand years, since the beginning of time. Although we see many discouraging changes around us now, I remain hopeful that we will endure forever.
