How To Pack Up A Neighborhood, Cumin Included : NPR →
Over 20 years ago, my niece, then a little baby, came to the Calcutta airport as I was leaving for America. This year, she left for the U.S. and I went to see her off.
As the American in the family, I got lots of questions: How many dollars should she take with her? Should she pack turmeric and cumin? I wanted to tell her, don’t worry about what spices to stash between your sweaters and jeans. Don’t fret about mobiles and laptops.
Remember instead…
