There are so many festivities
this time of the year, I realize I haven’t posted anything simple, or laid-back, for a while now.
High on my list of comfort food would
be something pretty traditional from the coastal idyll of my roots. Fish and
seafood, for example, would be perfect as my homeland—Kerala—is particularly known for its brilliant seafood delicacies. It makes me smile in reminiscence of the
visit from the fishmonger carrying a basket of daily catch balanced on their
head, letting out a long howl at the top of their voice, koooooooo…, announcing their arrival. It is a different scenario
these days where they turn up on bicycles or mopeds honking their arrival in
the neighborhood. People living in towns invariably go to fish markets or supermarkets to buy seafood.
