Of course in those days they had only cholas built with mud i think, and she used to put kolam, and only then cook. There used to be a well outside a big Kitchen window from which she used to draw water for cooking. And she would grind for Idly/ dosa in the Stone grinder with hand. We used to fight to pump water when she washed all those silver cooking vessels with ash, how they used to shine. I still remember, how she used to make Batchnams and keep them locked in the netted cupboard, and just giving us a few pieces in a donai. In the afternoons she would make curd rice and give us in our palms with some pickle, it would taste so yummy, I can still remember the taste, and I have often done that to my own children, telling them stories about life at that time. Somehow with so many of us landing there for summer holidays, she never felt tired working single handedly for all of us. I wonder how they had that kind of stamina.<br />Here we cannot handle our own small family, leave alone entertaining guests.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-48988277003553450872016-04-07T04:07:27.790-07:002016-04-07T04:07:27.790-07:00all practices were related to holistic living, shi...all practices were related to holistic living, shilpa... just what new age gurus of today preach like mindful eating, conscious doing etc...
