The strip looked good for its last New Year's gasp.
Hotel Pondi commands the beach's attention.
Finally got my small change purse organized so I can give simply when the beggars cross my path. Remembering my committment to pursue practical Buddhism. Came across two needy souls late last night and discovered I had two notes - one five and one ten rupee. Is there a camaradarie of beggars I wondered? Will they share the wealth? Just give it away Peter ... save the intellectual investigations for after the donation.
