Authentic !

Greetings!

I am originally from the state of Madras [now Tamil Nadu] but live inside the Capital Beltway [Virginia, USA]. It is my pleasure visiting your portfolio.

Sounds like we exchanged not only countries but states! Have fun in mine, because I'm certainly enjoying living in yours! But don't you just miss having a masala dosa? Not those dried up ones at an Indian restaurant? I'll take a picture of one at a simple restaurant here, just to give you nostagia.

Nandri

These pictures capture the essence of Tamil Nadu and brings back memories of my childhood. Especially the beautiful kolams. Where are the tea pickers from? Nilgiris. Thanks!
