I believe this is three generations. I still do not know most of their names. I believe there are 3-4 houses that they are all split between. We always eat at the same house. It belongs to the oldest brother, Mr. Anthony.
His wife and two of his brother's wives usually serve us. They stand watching us to see how we are liking our food and to make sure we are taken care of. They do not eat with us. It is very odd to be watched so closely while you eat. I have mostly gotten use to it. They provide all of my meals during the week and on the weekends that I stay local.
With seven volunteers we have taken to eating on the floor. We didn't all fit around the table and there were not enough chairs. The floor is much easier. We usually have Mr. Anthony's two kids running around either trying to help or play while we are there.
Some nights the tv is on and we get glimpses of Tamil films or regular tv. The commercials are random. Its fun to try and figure out what they are advertising at the beginning of it. Its rarely what we guess. There are some American products advertised. Hair dye, oreos, and shampoo are all that I have recognized.
