IPL Season 4
Day 15 – 18th April – 43 Sleeps to go
Wow I can’t believe it’s been so long since I wrote. It’s been quite hectic with more traveling and matches combined with training sessions. I have had some time to see some sights in Chennai and Kochi. In Chennai I was able to spend an afternoon at the Kapaleeswarar Temple which was really nice.
From Chennai we moved on to Kochi. Again we were lucky enough to have a morning to explore so we went to the harbour, Kochi Fort and the Chinese fishing nets. This is the India I love. It’s fantastic to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and find a part of old India. The people and the smells and the colours are fantastic. The light here is awesome between about 16.30 and 1800. It has a golden glow and just brings the colours of the clothes and building alive.
Prior to leaving Chennai I made a change to my team and have replaced a photographer. It’s always a tough decision to make but it was evident that the role I required him to fulfil was one that he was not comfortable with. It made sense for both of us that he left the team and was replaced by a photographer more used to the work ethic of my team. I wish the photographer well for the future and will keep in touch as friends.
