the box 0
balikbayan box is a corrugated box containing any number of small items from food, clothing, toiletries, toys or whatever it fits in. it is sent by expat filipinos to their homeland as pasalubong (presents) to their family usually before christmas. this documentary took us three days to cover from wrapping the boxes with countless packaging tapes, filling up with items and to pick-up of the freight forwarders from our place.

towards the end of our journey to kerala, we came across a cattle market enroute from thekkady to kumarakom. the transactions beside the road caused a minor traffic. while waiting for our car to move, i got a chance to get out and wander a few meters around. as i walked back through the murky road, i saw a truckload full of cattle bundled together with ropes around their noses. looking at the predicament they were in, one managed to tease in front of the lens by sticking out its tongue.

guruttara 1
during our stay in munnar, we experienced the traditional martial art of kerala known as the kalaripayattu or kalari. known to be one of the oldest fighting systems in existence, this form of fighting consists of kicks, strikes, preset forms, grappling and healing methods.
we got ringside seats on the center of the arena, close enough to see the performers below. while waiting to start, i managed to capture the illuminated area called guruttara. every kalari has a lighted guruttara. the lamps are kept burning in reverence to all the gurus (or masters) of kalari.
