@Tola posted:I write a lot about my life in GY for our kids, who were born overseas. But one of the things I regret the most, was not speaking more to my parents about their life and also audio/video record it.
My Mom had a big multi colour basket that she carried on her head and a smaller one with a handle, for going to the market. That she carried hanging on her arm. The head wear was called a Madras rumal.
Tola here's something interesting that u might understand more than me, since i was small. When these people were speaking to each other, in tamil (mother included) it appeared as tho they were singing to each other. Lots of hand movements. Never understood that part,
