Hello! I’m Taylor. I was born on Okinawa, raised in the US and Europe, and stopped counting how many times I’ve moved many years ago. For the past three years I’ve been mostly in Chennai, India; but, a new year, and who knows how much longer that will last?
I wrote that a couple of months ago, and “who knows how much longer” has turned out to be prophetic. I’m moving back to the US in the next couple of weeks, not by choice, and not happily. It’s not that I object to living there, but Chennai has become my home. I didn’t really understand that until I learned I had to leave.
I’ll be doing some updating in the near future about Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and India, in general terms, and reworking the home and related pages as well. I expect I’ll be adding some new places soon, too, although I don’t yet know where they will be. Before I move, I’ll be making a quick trip to Kanyakumari and Rameshvaram. Kanyakumari, because a friend runs a non-profit near there employing local women in making handmade lace, embroidery, and beadwork, and she has invited me to see what they do. Rameshvaram, to complete a circle, and because I promised I would.
In Tamil there is no word for goodbye. The comparable expression, poyitee varen, translates literally as “I’ll go and come back.” I like that. |

Ina22Marina Sun May 11, 2008 04:10 UTC Taylor, I feel for you (and agree too)... It's sad and unsettling to not find your well-thought of and well-listed plans for future travels.. I hope you'd be settled in again soon.
