It isn't.

Many months back, nambol, Manju and I visited Belur, Halebidu and Sravanabelgola. In a big Volvo bus. The bus belonged to Karnataka Tourism Development Corporation. It was a conducted tour. (Please don’t be so smirking, I won’t tour conductedly ever again.) It was a Sunday. There were nine others in the bus. Three of them were little children. They wailed frequently.

Manju wasn’t married then. nambol (certainly) wasn’t in the Amreeka, yet. I took (exactly) six pictures. Really. Really, just like someone that shoots on slide film: with much planning and forethought. ;-)
