Learning how to speak Tamil, make chapattis, massage old people’s feet, use coconut oil, do my laundry with old metal tools, tame monkeys, eat spicy spicy hot hot, keep sleeping when the muezzin calls for the prayer, drink tea 6 times a day, use my body language… Everyday brings new surprises! And Working with the aged is sooo relaxed! Hard work, but chilled out. And they are really friendly. They tell me so many stories, most of the time as if I understood Tamil haha!!! Nod, nod, keep smiling!!
