Fun morning with elephants in Periyar
It was earlier this year during the 2010 South Indian Odyssey that a few members of our group spent a fun morning with elephants just outside Periyar National Park in Kerala, South India.

Marari beach, quiet for most of the day is bustling with activity in the early hours of the morning. Fishermen, boats and birds line the shore. Young and old men brave the strong waves to cast their nets and haul in what the ocean may spare for them that day. Fortunate birds wait eagerly for…

The classic Indian Head Shake or wobble has been the way many Indians communicated for centuries if not millenniums but it is certainly something that has baffled foreigners forever.
