Road leading from my cousin's house to the Kumta market. It's a 10 minute walk. Bicycles are family vehicles here. Mom and infant are calmly enjoying the ride on the rack.
Note: open drains to carry heavy rain water run-off; cows resting ahead on road side.
And across is this spectacular rice field. Despite having seen this field hazaar times, I am ever in awe. Depending on the time of day, or year, its a different scene. These pics are from an evening in September 2004; the light has a golden tinge and shadows are getting long. Monsoon rains have just ended, and the crop is starting to mature.
In this God-fearing country, the parting greeting is: Dev Bare Karo! literally, May God do you good!

HAPPY NEW YEAR SHANBHAG MAM,
its me, & i am very sorry that i could not keep my promise of sending you the video of vade seva at kavoor kamakshi temple kumta for i could not get hold of the cd.
now that i have got it i would like to mail you the same, i would have uploaded it on youtube but its very long (nearly 4.3GB)
therefore i want your mail id if possible.
waiting eagerly for your mail id,
regards,
Ggajanan Kamath,
Hubli.
Hi Gajanan:
Don’t worry about the video. I realize that YouTube has a limit of 10 minutes. SO you may want to consider creating multiple files of 9 minutes each.
My mail also has a 58 MB limit, so that will not work either.
Best Wishes for the New Year!
