I am seventeen years too late
but I finally got
the most beautiful girl
even she is older than me
to go with her lips
to the sunless place
the art of song
was in my bones
the coffee died for me
this was my life
in the metro mumbai
when you slowly
removed your yellow sweater
and I slobbered over
your boyish haunches
and I tried to be
a good husband
to your dark and motherly
intentions

"The Simple Skill Of Cooking"

Cooking at home is practice for those times when you have no other option but to prepare your own food because you’re too sick to go out, the power’s out all over town and no one is open to feed you, or one of the worst case scenarios pops up – nuclear disaster, electronic blackout (everything’s run by computers, if those go, so do most businesses, including restaurants and grocery stores), pandemics, or worse.

Cooking is a very simple skill. People have been doing it for thousands of years successfully. Men and women have been pretty equally responsible for cooking, it’s not a gender based skill. If you eat, you cook.

There are lots of good reasons to eat at home, to cook for yourself and your family:
1. You can save a lot of money
2. You can save a lot of time
3. You can do other things while the food cooks
4. You don’t have to dress up or even be dressed or wear shoes
5. You can eat the food you grew
6. If you eat food you grew, it’s usually tastier and certainly fresher
7. You can fix it any way you like instead of taking what the restaurant serves
8. You have greater variety, including far more vegetables
9. You’re less likely to get food poisoning from contaminated foods
10. You know what’s in your food – important if you have food sensitivities and allergies. Many people discover they aren’t allergic to foods they thought they were – they’re allergic or sensitive to all the additives and extras put in the food: MSG, HFCS, artificial smoke, artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, oils, salt, sugar, and more. Perhaps the food isn’t quite so fresh – restaurants have been known to serve food past its expiration date and even past its safe-to-eat date.

Kerala Wedding

Except for some variation in basic customs, Christians of kerala has wholeheartedly assimilated themselves into the fabric of Kerala society. But, still, some differences persist in the wedding rituals and they are worth exploring. Like in other religions, here too the parents select prospective partners. After extensive background checks, including financial and social standing, and several meetings later, between the parents of bride and groom, the actual players get to encounter each other. Once things are endorsed, they have to notify their individual churches to procure sanction. Once the sanction is granted, they have to undergo a marriage preparation course conducted by the church. After that, at a day of their convenience (except on Fridays), they have to present themselves before the church officer for "manasammatham" (engagement), accompanied by friends and relatives. A prayer will be held before engagement ceremony and afterwards the vicar gives the blessing. Rings can be swapped after this, but it is not there in the general itinerary. Two male persons from both the parties have to stand witness for this ceremony. This will be recorded in the church register. After this for the next 3 successive Sundays, while the church is in congregation, this engagement will be announced. This is to inform others and to give them a chance to file objection, if they have any. Alternatively this information will be displayed at the church notice board. If some objections are noticed, church will conduct an inquiry regarding this and proper actions would be taken. There is no bar on breaking the engagement. The parents of the bride and groom, after mutual consultations, fix a date for the marriage. Normally the wedding is held at the diocese of the groom.
On the appointed day, both the bride and groom, along with their relatives and friends, will reach the marriage place before the appointed time. At the given time, both the groom and bride will enter the church, escorted by relatives and friends, and proceed towards the altar. Some of the customs of traditional kerala wedding, "thalikettu" - the process of tying the sacred thread around bride's neck, giving "mantrakodi"- the wedding sari, are incorporated into the Christian wedding. As soon as the vicar enters the altar, the process of marriage (divyabali) begins. Reciting of those portions of bible which are relevant to the marriage function will be done by the vicar as well as the congregation, accompanied by music. When this function reaches its midpoint the vicar asks the groom to tie the nuptial knot, followed by the presentation of dress.
