25-NOV-2010
It was a hectic day from morning until night.
Morning:
Covered villages: S.S.Valasa, Adityanagar, visited the only Sun Temple in the world (Konark does not have aarti and pujas, not operational), Benduvanipeta and Vanjangi.
We divided into 2 groups and went to different villages.
Evening:
I was in the group that went to Vanjangi (Srikakulam Dt).
When we arrived, there was a huge crowd waiting to receive us. Somehow, my Sony Cybershot 12.1MP digital camera slipped from my shoulder. I realized when I reached the temple after 10 minutes. We sent people to look for it with flash lights, made announcements, etc., but could not find it. I went back the next day to talk with the villagers and the Sarpanch but it was gone. I heard that someone found it but would not admit. The camera actually belonged to the guy from Germany. I borrowed it from him saying I will return it to him after our tours. The sad part is that I lost pictures of several days in Srikakulam. We do have some pics from the first 2-3 days I think.
After that, my tiny Creative Zen MP3 player with Voice Recorder either got dropped on a sleeper bus from Vizag to Eluru or was stolen from my backpack while I was asleep. I lost several months of experiences that I keep recording.
