My research has nothing do with this particular document but I am requesting it just to read about the awesome Chakko and Parvathy who decided they had enough of the caste system bullshit in 1802. Parvathy, I am rooting for you 2016 years too late, but you go girl! #research My great great grandmother’s writing chest. Mom got a new key made for a new lock (old one had completely corroded into the wood). It’s at least about 130 years old if not more. From my basic knowledge on timber, it looks like it’s made of solid teak that has aged into a dark color. Teak is naturally termite resistant and the tree rings suggest the teak was maybe 40-50 years old when it was cut down. Can’t see this in the photo but the long pocket at the back has a curved base for keeping writing olas (palmyra writing boards) perhaps? I am taking her home with me. Watch out!!! Rambutan on the loose!!!! James Joyce as editor is what nightmares are made of.
Nutmegs from the backyard in the process of being dried. The smell is ♥️. The child brought me a rose as a gift while I was working! If the British colonized India for this stuff, I’d may be understand. Mangosteen ❤️. So this is the route to a little-known place called Kakkadampoyyil in Malappuram. And it was exponentially more breathtaking than the picture suggests. Absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely #nofilter. #Kerala (Pc: family member who is not on Insta; this view was not on my side of the vehicle sadly.) New post on archival research and working with Malayalam records uploaded!
