At 3'30 last night the phone started going crazy and halfway through the indecipherable conversation it went dead. Devdutt called the front desk and lo and behold! They had my luggage. It really did take just a day -- AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO US!! Good thing the shopping spree was a small one (underwear and one top only). Met my downstairs neighbor's parents today -- very, very nice (also got taken for a ride there by the rickshaw driver for Rs 30 (65 cents) Oh well). Also had an authentic breakfast of dosas and vada at Woody's. Now we're off to meet Devdutt's cousin. Tomorrow, the airport / Kovalam.
