India is a place full of colour and full of smiles. It is said that there are are two types of traveller, those that hate India and those that fall under its beguiling spell. I firmly fall into the latter and all because of the people. Where else can you go and arrive in a city and that same evening get invited to a wedding (though my friends will tell you I have a talent for the latter) ? So from a trip made in 2006 I give you four little charmers smiling their way through life in Madurai.
