Us with the Kids |

Last day of the camp, and we took a quasi-group photo with some of our boys and the village kids. The guy showing the gesture is showing a gesture called "baba", a popular cinema symbol. Sigh.

At around 5 in the morning of the day we left the place, this light turned out to be from an auto carrying Milk.

Roadblock |
Kosappur Bus Stand |
The next light at our gates turned out to be the van headed in to pick us up, though I never thought the ghosts at the place were so eager for us to leave.

This roadblock stopped the vehicles from going through, as Pongal (the festival of the farmers) was being celebrated just down the road.

A torn cinema poster that led to a mini clash that led to twenty people in the local police station. Sigh.

SuperMacro of a moth found on our campsite. It proved ridiculosly hard to photograph, even though it stayed still, due to low light and a bit of wet soil which prevented me from going very close. A few minutes and some footwear later, I had this shot.
