Rajen Nair : A perfect piece to mark the occasion of Onam, littered with pictures from memory mines. Happy Onam to you and your family. I liked this line the most. The smell of fire soot emanating from the kitchen would hit my nostrils as women puffed air through the short narrow round pipe to light a fire in the clay stove. Often, when I pass by some slums or construction sites while crossing through the city roads, I see scenes like these. But the only difference is that the one you cited creates a picture of freshness, rawness, something very rudimentary but the one I see is that of pain, struggle, and fight for life/survival.
