From a long drive
The drive was worth it! My fiat drove without any hassle for over 2000 kms. I saw the great landscapes of my state. We are just plain lucky to be in this part of the world!. I could see clearly how the wind carrying rains from the southwest travels from the sea, enters the coast, climbs the cliff (ghats), waters the forests and later gets weaker loosing all the water in it making the plains hot and dry. One drive of this stretch is good to get a glimpse of this amazing wind called the monsoon. This terrain has made people pocket themselves into thousand villages each of them speaking their own dialect!. I saw people seem busy in their work especially women. Most men just hung around with their lives!. Women dedicated to raise their children, children free and playful all around the villages. Towns seemed junky with lot of steel, wires and dirty billboards and a bit congested. Cities looked more organized but very crowded with no space for people to even think rightly! Temples were boom
