He sat behind a desk in his sparsely furnished office on Beach Road. Abdulbhai is reading a Gujarati newspaper, while one of his younger brothers is talking on the phone in Hindi to a client from Bombay. The office is quiet and so is business: our conversation is only interrupted by the occasional friend who peeps into the office to greet Abdulbhai. He begins: Business is dead, all the godowns (warehouses) along the beach are closed; all the other exporters have closed down. But at my father’s time it was all different. During the trade season, there would be hundreds of boats anchored offshore, with barges full of goods going to and fro. There were boats from Bombay, from Gujarat, from Burma and Ceylon, but most of them belonged to Arabs. Down the road there were the British warehouses, and on the other end there is the Beach Hotel, only Britishers stayed there. The beach front was busy with carts and lorries and there were hundreds of Arab sailors walking up and down. The Arab boats arrived as soon as the monsoon was over, in October, and the last left the following May, before the rain started.

  • From Kerala to Singapore Voices from the Singapore Malayalee Community
    PUV ANITH For Review Only A ARUMUG A DEVI PILL A FROM TO M KERALA SINGAPORE A I VOICES FROM THE SINGAPORE MALAYALEE COMMUNITY “The book is the result of a herculean effort by two young authors to tell the story of Malayalees in Singapore through interviews with a cross-section of that community. For those interested in the ethnography of the various Indian ethnic groups in Singapore, this book is a boon.” Ambassador Gopinath Pillai Chairman, Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore “This ‘labor of love’ will stand out as a gem in the literature of diasporic studies. Based on original and assiduous research, and with the inclusion of photographs and documents, many hitherto unseen, the book is a treasure trove of information on the Malayalee community in Singapore. As the distinguished academic Professor Antony Palackal points out in the Foreword, it is ‘the transformation from a Keralite to a Singapore Malayalee’. That transformation also takes into account the larger story of the national diaspora, which has made Singapore what it is today.” Ambassador K Kesavapany Adjunct Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore “It is a brilliant work in auto-ethnography and a skilfully crafted work of ‘sociological imagination’ that beautifully combines experience, observation and reflection, which makes it quite a reader-friendly book to all, academic and non-academic readers alike.” Dr Antony Palackal Sociologist, Loyola College of Social Sciences, University of Kerala “This is a superb collection of stories about migration. Here are tales of partings and loss but embedded in them are stories of new beginnings.

GISHA Assistant Professor of Commerce Sree Narayana Guru College K.G. Chavadi, Coimbatore RAMYA.M.R M. Phil scholar Sree Narayana Guru College K.G. Chavadi ABSTRACT Today women are not only playing the role of hardcore ‘housewives’, they are also playing a different role of ‘chief purchasing officer’ and controlling 85% of buying decisions. Most of the women are employed and they want to save time in cooking and yet maintain natural taste. In this modern era, instant food products play a vital role in satisfying this attitude of modern women. A lot of studies have been conducted by many researchers, practitioners and professional on behaviour of consumers towards instant food products but only a few studies have been conducted on specific for women buying behaviour. In this context, a study on women buying behaviour was deemed to be important. This paper makes an attempt to understand the women’s purchase behaviour along with an attempt to know what factors play a significant role in her purchase behaviour. Keywords: instant food products, consumer behaviour, women buying behaviour INTRODUCTION The modern technology has entirely changed the living patterns. Nowadays quick food styles are catching up fast because of more number of working couples, domestic fuel crisis, non-availability of reliable domestic servants and breaking up of joint family system.

  • Kerala Cuisine
    KERALA CUISINE The cuisine of Kerala is linked in all its richness to the history, geography, demography and culture of the land. Because many of Kerala's Hindus are vegetarian by religion (e.g., brahmins or namboodiris,Nairs etc.), and because Kerala has large minorities of Muslims and Christians that are predominantly non-vegetarian, Kerala cuisine has a multitude of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Like other South-Indian cuisines, Kerala cuisine (called pachakam in Malayalam) is predominantly spicy. Coconuts grow in abundance in Kerala, and consequently, grated coconut and coconut milk are widely used in dishes and curries. Kerala's long coastline and strong fishing industry has contributed to many fish-based delicacies, particularly among the Christian community. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL INFLUENCES Pre-independence Kerala was split into the princely states of Travancore and Kochi in the south, and the Malabar district in the north; the erstwhile split is reflected in the cuisines of each area. Malabar has an array of non- vegetarian dishes such as pathiri (a sort of rice-based pancake, usually paired with a meat curry), porotta (a layered flatbread), and the kerala variant of the popular biriyani. In contrast, traditional Travancore cuisine consists of a variety of vegetarian dishes using many vegetables and fruits that are not commonly used in curries elsewhere in india including plantains, bitter gourd ('paavaykka'). Amorphophallus ('chena'), Colocasia ('chembu'), Ash gourd ('kumbalanga'), etc. Garlic is predominantly used in south-kerala dishes as well. In addition to historical diversity, the cultural influences, particularly the large percentages of Muslims and Syrian Christians (also see Syrian Christian Cuisine of Kerala) have also contributed unique dishes and styles to Kerala cuisine.
