On a sticky wicket
The Hindu
What would you do if you end up with bunches of overripe plantains?
One day recently, I found myself in a jam. I had in my kitchen some 40 large plantains (nenthrppazham in Malayalam), all overripe. That was the fallout of several successive visitors bringing me gifts of bunches of plantains, I didn’t know why.
I have been living alone in my apartment for several years. I had plenty of visitors but rarely gifts of bananas or anything else. Things slowly changed after I turned 90. Stray visitors from my larger family started bringing gifts of fruits.
In the wake of COVID-19, the stream of visitors dried up.
