a Journey with Jen

YogaJenny and the Leichhardt Lovelies travel blog
Salutations Indian-Style - with the palms of my hands joined together in front of my heart I say 'Namasté! Namaskar! Namaskaram!'

Welcome to my Trip Journal! Benvenuti al diario del mio viaggio.
Southern India here I come. A l'india meridionale - eccomi!

Already I am discovering that in the State of Tamil Nadu, our first port of call, the expression of greetings more appropriate is Vanakkam! ... vaNakkam, pronounced "one-a come".

And inspired by this information I'm afraid I have to say...
Knock knock...
Who's There?
Vanakkam!
Vanakkam who?
Vanakkam to Southern India with me?
