Interesting times




Mythily and I went to the Cauvery river about a km from our house. We met a nomadic family from Central India who have come to labour in the sugarcane fields nearby. With the booming economic situation, the locals are finding difficult get labourers to work in the fields. So they do not mind getting people from faraway places.

From North karnataka. As nomads do they stay in camps and this time under a huge banyan tree by the canal.

Nomads happy where they are. If not, they will move on.
