farewell Chennai

Today, my last day here, began with a fun and delicious brunch at the hotel with all who remained after yesterday's performance.
The gracious hosts

Savita with her grandfathers

Joyzna's parents

Savita earned many blessings and rave reviews from all corners, including an article in the newspaper.  It really was an honor to be here--an an inspiration... Savita taught me a pose (who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?)


After brunch, we had tea with a composer who was holding class in his living room as we discussed Savita's performance.  And, then, we were off to Amethyst for a taste of the British styling of old Madras before heading to the Potarazu home for my favorite meal of the week--sitting around the family table with both sets of grandparents, Joyzna's brother, and the four Potarazus.  I am sad to go, but this was an incredible week that has planted a seed of academic and spiritual interest in India as well as deepened an already wonderful bond with Savita.  


love!
