Someone's Time machine has taken us backwards from 230th June. Needs correction., Col. for posterity !<br /><br />Talking about easy chairs, took me back to my child hood when I used to lean over my dad's reclining chair, learning my Tamil, informally. To me an easy chair with its stretch-arms and legs is a symbol of La dolce Vita ! perfect symbol of rest and serenity, to tell oneself that all is well in this best of all possible worlds.<br /><br />On those culinary clutter amenities, one can not overlook the Churn, a device that is used to whip up cream and butter that my dad used to take on as a chore, daily morning, apart from the cutting vegetables on that squat machine, swan shaped, as assigned to him by his help meet my mom. It is a very common sight in those days, ladies squatting on these , spread-eagled cutting vegetables. An oxymoron ? I have one archaic item of this bought from the streets of Mombasa<br /><br />Not to forget the Imam Dasta, a mortar and pestle duo. A friend of mine in Nairobi has this curious curio collection of these varieties from all over the world ! A very odd collection indeed.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-61835121294069951192014-06-30T11:44:05.216+05:302014-06-30T11:44:05.216+05:30No issues at all when it comes to a Sankalak puzzl...No issues at all when it comes to a Sankalak puzzle, it appears.
