And, i am sure, you have noticed it, Keralites are deeply religious, still being significantly influenced by Left leaning politics.

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.
So, i think now you understand better all of this, at least in part.
