One bunch of boys passed by and started remarking on the camera. Seconds later one of the boys asked if I was from this town (it was my town)? That took me off guard and I asked him how did he know so he tells me he knows me, seen me around the temples. The kid was funny he kept going akka take good pics, akka you thirsty you want a drink, akka this akka that. The only problem was he had a loud voice and we became entertainment for some 30 ppl. Sigh ;p


Some cars got stuck in the road the chariot was to pass and it took sometime to get them out given the amount of ppl walking the streets. Thaipusam's like a meeting place, in 3 days I practically meet nearly everyone I know. So every corner I turned I ended up replying the same answer to people's queries.

One point I was standing next to a cop who was curious about what I was photographing so I showed him some of the photos. He too felt the crowds had ballooned this year given both states would be on leave. So its official guys Thaipusam 2007 has kicked off!
