KN

Ramu has spoken well about KN. 54 years in one organisation must be a sort of a record for any profession. The great thing is that KN has held the respect of not only his employers but also the respect (and affection and admiration) of all his colleagues and subordinates. All of us wish him piece and good health in his retirement.

I agree with Gayathri on chakkai pazham. It must be crisp and not over-ripe to be edible, for me. And I must try out the vazhaipazha-varatti one of these days, though it seems like a lot of work!
