Sunanda's Indian Sojourn.

sunanda · 2010-11-23T09:58:32Z

Most people who have been on HP for a while know that I usually spend part of each winter in South India. This year I am going to be based in an unashamedly touristy and commercialised beach resort in Kerala. This will make a change from the hot and dusty temple town of Tiruvannamalai in the state of Tamil Nadu which has been my home from home for the past 12 years. I wrote last year of how Tiru is changing and becoming very much a centre for spiritual pilgrimages and western 'gurus' leading their followers on retreats. Anyway, last winter I decided that I'd had enough - although Tiru and the sacred mountain Arunachala will always have a place in my heart. So I'm going to be renting a little house (the same one I rented 12 years ago) on top of the cliff at Kovalam. As there is no traffic to speak of, my lungs will benefit from the lack of pollution but climbing the hill is going to be an ongoing challenge. Luckily one of my 'boys' - a group of young men in their early 20s whom I have known since they were children - is now an auto rickshaw driver and will, I'm sure, come to my rescue if needed. Anyway, the purpose of this post is to ask whether or not you'd be interested in reading a few bloggy posts from time to time, as I will have my laptop with me and plenty of time to write. I don't want to bore anyone and will try to find new subjects to write about. For newcomers to HP there are some old threads of mine on this forum if you'd like to catch up...Here's last year's. BTW - I see that I've chosen the same thread title - how unoriginal. Mods could you change the heading of this thread by any chance. Let's see....How about Sunanda's Indian Sojourn. xxx

Yes Sunanda yes. I spent time in Kovalam last year, its a lovely place and not too far from Thiruvananthapuram which is the major city down south, so it is the perfect location. Looking forward to reading your blog.
