If you ever have someone coming this side, I will be happy to send you one. I remember a tweet of yours about fine lace (I think). The Victoria Technical Institute here sells the loveliest cushion covers/ bed spreads/ tea cosies/ coasters/ table runners with delicate lace borders, fine embroidery and tiny French knots. Oh, and did I mention that they make baby clothes in fine muslin/ cotton with similar embroidery? Smocked dresses in pale pastels and sunshine yellows for little babi(...)

They were a common sight in TN when I was growing up, OJ; even now, most of the smaller towns have them. I think I even saw them being sold here in Madras, last summer. They smell wonderful.

Heartbreaking - both, the poetry and the plight of the people in Sri Lanka. I recently met someone who recounted what it was like to give up a high- paying job in SL and escape to India, literally overnight, in order to save his wife and daughters from being raped and killed; what it was like to suddenly have the walls of your own house rendered unsafe. I think of the many Sri Lankan friends I went to school and college with and wonder if they are all safe. Wars/ conflicts are never(...)

No one knows the answer to this till they lose someone they love. All someone wants is sympathy and the confidence that things will get better - which can only come from someone who's been through the same thing.

I have a few observations to share about some plants that you are going to plant or have already planted. I'm by no means an expert, but I have a good experience of planting and sustaining certain plants :)

What I wanted to say, Alice already has said. No matter what you write about, I have never gone away from a piece without reacting - I laugh, I cry (I still come back to the post on little boy C, from time to time) but every single time, it causes me to stop and think.

Hi Rohini, long time reader, rare commenter.

That never got me to fall in love with Maths.

It doesn't matter what people wear. One does them no favours by not judging them, nor any harm by judging them, because honestly, they have pretty much taken that risk and decided it not worth anything when they have chosen to dress in an unconventional way. Judging pointlessly is a waste of time and hinders personal growth - that is the only reason I would suggest that one stop judging.

You know my thatha is a Tamil pandit, no? My appa, chithappa and thatha have a Tamil song/ verse for EVERYTHING. If nothing else, there is always a kural to the rescue. I grew up listening to so much of all this and yet never learnt the language enough. Reading your post I am shamed into wanting to do something about this.

That comment got published too soon. By the way, pandit was the 'degree'/ title awarded to people who studied the language, since there was no B.A/ M.A yet, back in the days when he studied (lest someone thing I am very presumptuously calling my thatha a 'Pandit'!) :)
