The second day we mapped Marasandra. We divided ourselves in to two groups. We started making a rough map moving towards the small lake and marking the important houses or shops we came across and on the other hand the other group went in the opposite direction marking the houses and the house number's. At the end we had the rough map and we all came together to sit down and put the two maps together and made the map of Marasandra. We found it difficult to sketch the map keeping scale in mind. But we managed to sketch a map giving a at least some information about the area.
We also observed the activities of the people. The other day we had visited in the afternoon and today we visited in the morning and we noticed that the mornings were pleasant and quite. The women where busy with their household work and men were off to their work, not many children playing. It was really interesting o know how the space changes around the time. How the space changes in the morning, afternoon, evening and night and we actually did not notice this before and this is a very important piece of information in research.
