As we walked back from the bird sanctuary in Kummarakom, a young man asked - as does everyone else - "What country?" The short story is that he collects stamps and so here's his address. If you have old stamps from envelopes sent to you, send them to him. Geeno is the one in the middle in back in the blue shirt, with his aunt, uncle, cousin, mother, and grandmother.

The Para... is a 'housename'. Someone else mentioned housenames to us. We also heard a little bit about housenames in China. If anyone knows more about house names, post a comment and enlighten us all.
House names are basically a way of identification for the houses in Kerala. They don't have house numbers, just names to identify houses by. If you give the local mailman the house name, he will be able to tell you exactly where it it is.
ReplyDeleteHey, Alex, thanks for the info. Glad to see you found the blog.
ReplyDeleteHi it’s me GEENO...
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you after all these years! Are you still collecting stamps? I have more to send if you do. But it might be a while with the Corona Virus. We're trying to stay isolated. Hope your family is well. You can email me - the address is in the column on the right above the blog archive.
