    HOW DID I KNOW ABOUT IT?

    During my tour to Sabarimala, I could get an opportunity to taste Avial. This is really good totally different from the one that is prepared in Andhra Pradesh. The taste is somewhat sweet […]

    • This sounds so nutritious and the foods are colored to mean they contain natural chemicals the prevent cancer.I have eaten all these veggies, so tasty. I prefer to fry them in slow fire and very little olive cooking oil.

    • You reminded me of my visit to Kerela 2 years back. There is tasted a traditional Kerela. There I ordered a traditional India Thali(platter) and it was then I tasted Avial.
      It had a peculiar taste and essence. I loved every bite of it. Though there were many elements which I did not know at that time but now after reading your blog i can relate to them very well.
      I also recall a peculiar kind of rice which was very small but extremely thick. Though I did not like it a lot but it was also something different I saw for the first time.

    • Another nutritious and healthy dish. And the way these are prepared traditionally serve great purpose for the people living in these places.

    • Even though i may not know some of the fruits that you have mentioned, others are well known in our country like the blueberries. Cocoa is also highly recommended it’s better than tea that has too much caffeine. As for the black garlic this is a first I have never come across it leave alone seen it. It seems quite strange. If i may ask does it perform the same way the ordinary garlic does? Thanks you for sharing.

    Americans are sharply divided these days. The irony is that I actually thought we were seriously divided when Obama was in office.  But ever since Trump ran, won and took office I have heard nothing but yelling […]

    • I’m not American nor do I live in America so I probably shouldn’t be commenting here but I couldn’t resist because I saw the tweets of the people on my timeline and they were outraged. Everyday, Trump signs on something and it outrages people.

      I think Trump would be one of most hated Presidents of America in history if he continue to act rashly. He’s changing things too rapidly without consulting his public and the result is the outrage of his people.

      I mean, people even celebs who DON’T normally comments on politics are speaking out and those rallies at airports and on the streets are saying something. He should try to connect with his public humbly and discuss why he want these changes that he’s actively doing. All I see on his twitter is hate and continues blaming of all the wrongs he sees.

      It’s sad and scary to see America this way. Hopefully things will turn around for the better and all the hate and divide you’re all going through right now will turn into unity and peace.

      • Each say I don’t know what to expect. But I expect something!

        By the way, it’s perfectly fine for non-Americans to comment. Decisions made in this country’s Oval Office have far-reaching impact. Every citizen in every country has the right to be concerned and should have a voice. If you heard gunshots in your neighbor’s house, would you say nothing or would you call the police? If a leader of another country was or is making decisions that could reach wherever you are and have an adverse effect, should you not speak on the matter?

    Thanks. Appreciate your remarks only I disagree with you on one point. What you refer to as “today’s world”? That attitude has been around since Cain and Abel.  Humanity has been on that “path” for a very long time!

    • We also have something similar to this back in my country, but ours are more like motorbikes. You don’t cycle. They are quite convenient especially in a country where traffic can be so unbearable. They are easily manauvered through the streets and even though sometimes they are costly, they can save you a lot of time that could be wasted in the jams. Usually when we go for holiday in the coastal region this mode of transport is very popular especially the areas near the beaches. They may look funny when you are inside but that aside they still get you to your destination. We never used tohave them in our country but the person who started them saved quite a number of people. Though now they have become a menace to the commuters and their cars in the central business district,this being the heart of town people may feel insecure because of the congestion. We all know when the town is congested there is a likely good that people will be mugged. So it was dimmed fit for them to operate from outside of the central district to keep town secure and dicongested.
