Immediately after landing in Chennai I got onto a bus and headed towards a town called Hosur located a few hours away. It was a relatively smaller city, with about 200,000 people and not very developed. I stayed with a sweet and open-minded family. The father had converted to Christianity some time ago and his wife and children remained Muslims. I had no sense of conflict about that in their home, they all seem to just love and respect each other.
I was in nonstop awe of Hosur. The wonderful tropical landscapes with a hint of fog and dust had me waking up at dawn every day. The city was mostly an agricultural city. I visited a few farms there that grew flowers to be exported all over the world.
