Our last day here, and I was so depressed as I packed and people came to say goodbye, asking for photos that we've already promised to other people. In fact I didn't really cheer up until Miss Shanti sent word at about five o'clock asking if I wanted to borrow Sunny (her scooter, called 'Sunny-Zip').
I went for a spin and she said I could have it until eight! I fetched Yesu because C. was busy with two girls from 8b, and we scooted off to the reservoir. After some time there, we visited one of Yesu's classmates who showed me around while Yesu messed about on Sunny. His village is really small, with a tiny temple and gorgeous houses. I met some of his family, most of whom were crammed into his front room watching some awful Tamil film.
When we got back, C. had gone out so I went to talk to Miss Shanti (the beautiful, intelligent, witty) until he arrived with Muthukumar who had been looking for me. We dropped lots of hints about food, hoping that Miss Shanti (the exquisite) would offer, but we ended up going to the Abiraami with Muthukumar instead. She let us take the scooter and said we could have it all night so I took C. out for a hair-raising tour of Ramnad. Now I know why Indians drive so dangerously - it's fun!
