playing rummy

Got pinged early this morning by Rajesh (the fellow on the left of the picture). He’d uploaded the photos he took with his cellphone on our Ooty trip. This is one of the last ones he took. We’re on our way back to Chennai, playing a card game before retiring to our slab-like bunks in the AC sleeper wagon. Krishnan took the picture from the top bunk, and Vignesh is on my left towards the bottom of the picture. A little dark and shaky but it captures the mood as we head back for the humid heat of Madras from the cool air of the hill station, Udhagai, and the surrounding tea plantations.
