"The poetry of dosa making" - this post is such a delightful read, replete with scents and feels of another era. Brought memories of similar family bonding in my home across several living rooms, terraces, gardens.

Wasn’t it wonderful! It reminds me of bonding in living rooms with radio and TV blaring in the background

Loved reading this, Subbu and Sri! I am fortunate to have had such community gatherings on my building terrace too - it was one of my most comforting spaces and many, many conversations have happened there...both with family / friends and with myself. Thank you so much for sharing your mum, and your dosas 😊 with us, Subbu. Your writing is wonderfully visual and so full of 'home'. God bless you...keep writing!

I was transported to that world and long to be part of the Dosa dinner nights. Such a delicious essay that brings together so much

Wonderful write up. Took me to the days when we used to sleep on the terrace looking at the stars. Rising of vruschika rasi (Scorpio) would make me awe.
