this (the pictures that follow, i mean) is what christmas looks like in pondicherry. not quite sure that all the lights you see were put there just for christmas, though, but the city is very nicely decorated, for one reason or another (maybe the president’s visit to pondy?). in these days, the local government is promoting a vaccination campaign against filariasis. a big (fake) mosquito is lying on the beach, to recall people’s attention. and to wake-up my nightmares…
