Menakshe and her son
Viru and I at Gansih temple
She knew I loved Idli so she made me some to bring home wrapped in a Banana leaf
Menakshe is our lab director. She always wears really pretty Kurties and has the cutest two year old son ever. She is the one that cooked me my favorite breakfast at the Fourth of July. In the morning we all took a cab because she invited us to her house. When we got there it was a beautiful house with open air feel and amazing family atmosphere. Her mom, dad, son, husband, and sister were there. She cooked lemon rice, sambar, rasam for us. Then we got to see the top of the house which was just beautiful surrounded by coconut trees and pretty colors looking over Bangalore. While the rest of the girls slept after a big meal and a long week, Viru and I went to a temple. This was the temple of Ganish, lord Shiva’s son. The story goes that Ganish was made out of the dead skin cells of his mom. I was confused on his father but apparently one day she told Ganish to guard the door while she bathed. He guarded the door, and he wasn’t supposed to let anyone in, not even his father. Lord Shiva(his father) came in a very bad mood. He cut off Garnish head, but they didnt want to find him another human head because that means killing another human, so thus why he has an elephant head. That story was a bit jumpy and misleading, but the general point is there. I love riding on Virus bike it is so fun. I had a very good weekend.
