Today I visited the Bay of Bengal and walked the surrounding area. While I waited in line for water I saw this young lady (above) upset that she was denied the candy she had so confidently confiscated from a shelf taller than she. I couldn't resist releasing the shutter at least ten times to cover the fiasco.
I ate at a restaurant not that far away and when we entered the building we were immediately asked whether we wanted to sit in the a/c portion or not. It cost more to stay cool while you dine. We opted for the air and I chose to order the traditional Southern Indian sampler meal.

I continue to learn more about the culture and rules here. For one, you're not supposed to use your left hand while eating. Or really anything for that matter. Also, there are no rules for driving. Absolutely none at all. Well, there are signs and lights that I have observed but as long as you keep driving in a forward direction and not stopping for randomness then you're fine. I don't personally know any one of my friends that would survive the freeway. And just try to cross the street as a pedestrian and pray that some miracle will happen and you make it to the other side alive!
After I walked down to the water I was approached by seven young boys. I had been checking out their resting place near some docked boats for several minutes thinking how sorry I was for leaving my telephoto lens back at the hotel. It seems that most people I have met or passed on the street are interested in my camera. Every once in a while I hear someone call out "Photographer! Over here.." I've been working tirelessly to keep my subjects "camera unaware." I just want to observe and shoot as if I am peering through the tiny holes of a window. I enjoy interaction but for this trip I want to work on my elusive skills and creativity.
