Sardine with Chilli

POINT TO PONDER

It is our culture that we should shake people's hands when we meet. It is not expected, though, people of different gender to do it to one another.

Recently, people have gone a little bit Arabic. They would put their chicks next to one another - left and right sides - while one hand is holding the other person's hand and the other on the person's arm or back. (It all depends on how close you are.) This is usually practised by the women. Men rarely do this.

Is this an important thing to do? It is more of being polite. Apart from that, you will be seen as a cultured person...the old folks will classify this as good manners.

Children should be reminded to do this. We want people to like our children. If people like our children, they will not hesitate to help our children.

MY THOUGHTS

While I was cooking it, I did not think that it would turn out to be good. However, eating it with hot boiled rice, I found it really nice.

We had the dish with Rasam.
