But one day he could go like “don’t put pepper in my food” and next day he could be like “why there is no pepper in my food”, so my mom is angry with him. Anyway cherish the moments. Older they get more kiddish they act

If he calls, they pretend to do something else many times. If someone is not listening, a good punishment would be to send that person to his room Many times they say old people in our area have become like that too. Chaos 1

He was in the electric golf cart transporting passengers. To be with him, I sat in the cart too (usuallly, I like to walk). When the cart stopped, he stayed shouting - “get me out”. I thought it must be an emergency so I rushed to get him out and in the process forgot my messenger bag in the cart. Luckily, the airport was able to locate my bag. I told him that if you do such things, I will take a different flight. Obviously, I understand that he is old and lost the ability to think clearly so I am taking this in good humour. One of the reasons, I am staying in India for long is to take care of my parents. Chaos 1

Not sure about west and north We call it bamblimas ( term used to fat shame as well ) , ripe one just tastes like expensive grapefruit .. I think it's a deciduous tree ( towards Nandhi hills we can get it on the roadside ) , one of the big problem for me and wifey is , it's very difficult to guess whether the fruit is raw or ready to eat diga 1

Kaffir lime is a big tree ( 25/30 metres kind) , dry areas from Coimbatore to Mysore forest is full of Kaffir lime trees
velu Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 In my childhood I thought amla is star gooesebeery .. Star gooseberry is better than Amla tastewise imo
