Settys, Settys, Everywhere

Before we left lots of folks were curious about how big Mysore is and when Marvel told them the population is around 300,000 it was hard to understand that we feel like it is a small city. But tonight I have a story to help you understand just how small this town is and how well we are cared for here.
Star had dance and violin class across town. Marvel took her and Flip and I joined them later at a nearby restaurant. This restaurant is owned by a friend of our cousin. Last time we ate lunch there we got a call from our cousin just checking in with us. Her friend had texted her the moment we walked in. This time, as we ate dinner the girls ran out to play on the little playground. They came in telling us Suresha had come. Suresha is the driver for Marvel's grandfather's house. Suresha has worked for the family in the daytime for 10 plus years. He drives an auto rickshaw nights. But how did he know we were at the restaurant? It turns out Suresha's nephew works in the restaurant. The moment he saw us come in, he texted Suresha to come and take us home.
