Haha. The religiosity I could handle, but I found their obsession with Marxist ideologies quite bizarre.

So, here we differ. But, lets keep politics out conversation, please ;) .
More than happy to oblige. :-)
Haha. Is it not somehow ironic that we are talking now about travels? I mean, hermetic poetry rarely leads to to memories from far away countries ;) .
LOL... as a matter of fact, I guess it all started when you mentioned you were Polish. Though, my time in Kerala was so overwhelmingly/paradoxically beautifuldisturbing that hermetics might be a good way to process it.
I was completely on my own with no other foreigners so it was total immersion unless I hid in my room and composed music (which I did somewhat often.)
The experience was so outside of anything I was familiar with it almost seemed like a 5-month-long dream when I returned.
Haha. My experience there was also far from being casual. I went there with quite a lot of media coverage. And i was kind of special guest of the hotel belonging to one of the most powerful people in Kerala, which is humbling in itself....
Yeah, that must have been impactful! I enjoyed reading the articles you sent and passed them on to my mom @violetmed to check out. Being in the care of local celebrities would truly be a crazy experience!
Even in my case, so many of the children I taught had never gotten to meet a foreigner before and they thought I was a celebrity. They treated me with so much respect and camaraderie I felt it was all I could do to learn what I could of their language and culture.
Keralites, and Indians in general, are immensely friendly. And for all ups and downs i have experienced in my journeys, i am really grateful for that.
Thank you for support and please, convey my greetings to mum. From sometime now, i am trying to persuade my mum to join Steemit. She is incredibly talented fiber artist, among many other things.
Btw, are you familiar with film fandom in South India, including in Kerala?
So, i think now you understand better all of this, at least in part.
