Day 8 - Stone age in the 21st cent.


We had been to New Kotagiri to see a Kota settlement. Hemlata had a big list of questions to be asked to the seniormost priest there.

The most amusing thing that we noticed besides the fact that they consider their land to be sacred and hence always walk barefoot is that, in the priest's home, the fire is lit with the help of the friction of stones or sticks or a lens and not by match sticks!!

We were amazed and amused by their closeness to nature.
