I've heard about "the Elephant in the room" but an elephant in the road- what are the issues here?
Everything Coconut
Coconuts-it’s not just for Pina Coladas- These folks manage to use every part of the tree- the husk for rope that they weave; the palm leaves for brooms and roofing material; the juice for kootay, a fermented drink; not to mention drinking the water- an anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal elixir. "It is good to collect things, but it is better to go on walks."
At a certain level, buying a cell phone is more representative of day-to-day Indian life than buying Shiva statue or silk scarf (though, admittedly, a cell phone would not look as good in your living room). I am so souvenired -out...the expereince, however, of going through these shops is better than the souvenirs themselves. |
