Last year .. while visiting Goa .. I really became attached to a church in Arambol Beach. On this .. my second visit to 'Pondi' .. I have become attached to a church here!
This is one benefit of 'staying put' in one place for a month or more.
I have a nickname .. 'Cap'. This nickname was given me when I was two weeks old. I was crying and my father asked my mother .. "What does the Little Captain want?" .. so I became their Little Captain and that grew to 'Cap'.
In the Hindi language .. they do not have .. per se .. our letter 'C' in their alphabet. They use the letter 'K' to attain the 'C' sound.
So 'Cap' in English becomes 'Kap' in Hindi.
If you will look closely at the photo below of a metal plaque on the exterior of Our Lady of Angels church .. you will see why I have become quite 'attached' to MY church!
I was absolutely astounded when I discovered this back in January of 2012 on my first visit here to Pondicherry.
Kaps Church! OK! I'll take it!
