Friday 29th Feb - Sunday 2nd March - Day 26 - Day 28

All this travelling and visiting places can get a little tiring with the heat. It's the end of my first month away from Blighty. Time flies when you're having fun, so they say. It's been an experience already - a lot to take in.

I'm reading a book called 'Starmaker' in which the main character, in the form of a spirit, is mysteriously carried at the speed of light through different universes, galaxies and time in search of a similar planet, truth and god (the Starmaker). In the end I guess he will be able to ask the Starmaker questions. At the end of my journey I don't expect to have answers to anything nearly as weighty or profound as this. Perhaps, I shall see things more in perspective. Perhaps you don't have to travel to see the reality of what is happening in front of your eyes in everyday life or sympathise with people who don't have it so good or otherwise. However, you do get the time to consider these questions.

I take in the sights and sounds of Trivindrum at a slow pace.
