We arrived in the town of Produttur where Manohar's parents and brother lives. The trip took around 7 hours so we were ready for a little rest and relaxation. Within 30 minutes I was eating Whole grain rice, egg plant curry and lamb biryani that Manohar's mother had whipped up. One of the themes here in India is that we seem to eat every 2 hours. Serving food is a form of hospitality and of course everyone is so nice and the food is so good ... let's eat drink and be merry ... and for me personally put on another 10 pounds. Although the town did not have all of the modern shops like Hyderabad, leave it to Manohar to find a Barber shop near by where we received a special Indian head message (see pictures). It was a very unique experience as it involved pouring a pint of olive oil on my head followed by strong circular messaging/scratching and subtle smacks to the head. Sounds rough but it actually felt pretty good.
