TV evening in Palani & Helloists of Kodaikanal

IMG_0683 After the Topslip jungle I was to encounter the media jungle. I was trying not to get lost in the wide choice of Indian tv channels for a whole afternoon, evening and night. I got a decent room with “thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from”(Pink Floyd-Nobody Home, The Wall). I was saved by Mr Murugan`s temple from a total braiwash.
