Sheila and I just returned from Malaysia after a "hectic" holiday; the first thing I did after entering our flat was to check if my dear "Karuveppilai" was indeed in good shape. To my surprise, it was the plant which withstood our absence well; probably the way it was placed in another vessel with water and cocoanut fibre could have helped.
But I am at a loss to understand how two "Dumb Canes" broke from the base and fell off. Was it due to heavy winds ? Was it because of the pigeons ? Was it because of someone jumping over ? I don't know; but I know I can grow more "Dumb Canes" from the stem of the fallen plants.
In life too, things happen when we do not anticipate....our worst fears do not come true....we have to look for opportunities in both the situations....can I become a better human being...if yes, I am in for an exciting time.
I am sure Sheila will have fresh Karuveppilai for Sambhar from next week...from our Karuveppilai plant...now I have bought two more sisters to the original Karuveppilai plant....they give aroma to our food...while sacrificing themselves....(rather we made them sacrifice for us).....there are such people in our lives too ..
Thank God for this mercy !!!!

jokes apart... sisters to the karuveppilai... amma... 2 more plants to water... beware!!!!
Hi Maya,
Amma has to water 15 more pots; yes, indeed I brought 15 new plants on 29 May 2008 to our home.
Of course, the two Karuveppilai sisters are included in the 15.

Why karuveppilai why not other veggies?
Why Karuveppilai.... there is a proverb in Tamil "Karuveppilaium pillaium valarthathu pola"... Karuveppilai should be given as much attention as you would give to your children if you would like to grow a Karuveppilai tree. It needs a lot of water and Sun light. It grows for many years ( a sort of perennial)... other vegetables are seasonal and do not need much attention or need attention for a limited period. Hence Karuveppilai has a special status
Love
Appa
