Grandma's maid milking the 'Payyu'.......
I was walking past the cowshed and I saw a ‘chombu’ (pitcher) of fresh milk outside. My cousin put his finger in, to scoop out the thick froth that had settled on the top.I peeked into the cowshed to watch the maid milking the cow.
Cows here graze on natural grass and cow feed. The difference between the milk in Kodagu and dairy milk is not just the flavour. Mom says that naturally reared cow’s milk contain higher levels of vitamins and nutrients. There is no fear of harmful pesticides, artificial hormones and antibiotics when you drink milk from the ‘payyu’ in your ‘kotte’. But when you buy milk from a dairy, there is no guarantee that the milk is hormone free or antibiotic free!!

Fishing in Coorg...
I went fishing in a creek near my cousin’s house. We found interesting aquatic life there. I felt like I was in a fish reflexology spa, When tiny fish started nibbling on my feet.
We used household items to catch fish. Obviously we returned home with exciting results. By using aunt’s colander we caught tiny fish, shrimp and toad!!!!
