new words…

so I now have a few more words to my tamil vocabulary…

konjam: a little

poodum: enough

I have discovered that without these two words I would have died of over eating weeks ago!!! I don’t think i can express in words how often food has been forced upon me…

No definitely does not mean No! No matter how many times or ways that you say it…

 It seems that it is culturally appropriate to force people to eat… in fact it is expected! People decline a second helping of food even if more is wanted leaving the host to then force food onto their plates…

which is all very well until someone like me comes along  who can barely make it through the first serving of food let alone  eat any seconds!
