Henna

Henna has been used to adorn young women’s bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean. Henna is regarded as having “Barakah”, blessings, and is applied for luck as well as joy and beauty.

On the 5th day it came to happen on the side of the road in the Chennai suburb of T-Nagar .........













I think my head is next.......

So, our time in Chennai is now almost finished and we are waiting for our over night train tickets to be confirmed. I'm going to wait another couple of hours and check on line. If still 'wait listed' go to the Chennai Central Station to see if I can jump the queue (I'm confirmed but Tahlia isn't). If I can't get Tahlia on board I'll cancel and book a plane flight or maybe we'll split up and travel separately!!!!

Got keep truck'n as there is lots to see.
