INDIA

Did you ever had that feeling that you went to a total strange place and you felt yourself straight away at home ?
That place is called Tamil Nadu that I visited first in 1987 and from since I go back there every year.
Learning the Tamil language a bit helped me to discover the essence of this beautiful culture. Returning to Tamil Nadu, even after visiting friends in the North, feels always like coming home.

In 1994 I met Ochappan, a poor Tamil tricyle-man. He inspired me to use the derived name oochappan to spot his world out looking over his shoulders.
Enjoy Tamil Nadu, the colors for joy,
what comes from there, goes back there,
your reflections are most welcome.
