That's what the convener of an organic farmers' meeting in Trichy said when I asked him if I could stop over on my overnight journey from Bangalore to Pudukottai. I told him that I would reach very early in the morning and would need a place to stay in till the morning. He said, 'Yen saar riks edukkaringa?' (why do you want to take the risk?). I was wondering what risk was he talking about - after all a Trichy suburb at dawn isn't exactly downtown LA where a bullet intended for a rival gang member may find you blocking it. Then it dawned on me that he was using 'risk' to mean difficulty.
