It’s been two weeks today.
I spent most of the day lounging and watching American movies. Yesterday was our first full day of
screening. We completed approximately
350 students in just two hours or so (Std II-VII). The faculty at Crescent School was quite
helpful after all. Despite the
appearance of the school, there is real need among its students.
I went to a couple of temples tonight with Auntie and
Uncle. First was a manmade cave temple
to Krishna. It reminded me a lot of
Alvin’s Island in Panama City. The carvings,
however, were very good, depicting the many myths that surround him.
Finally, I have seen the famous Big Bull Temple of Bull
Temple Rd. I now know why it’s a
landmark. The stone murthy was extremely
impressive. I might actually go back
before leaving.
We also visited Dodda Ganapathi which seemed to have huge
popularity. There was significant
waiting and pushing required to catch just a glimpse.
All in all, I see a lot of similarities between the Hindu
rituals and those seen in the West.
Unfortunately, the role of money seems to be one of the most striking
resemblances.
