The word 'thuppu' recurs many times in a single verse, carrying different shades of meaning: the eater, the food, the making of food and the becoming of food. Inside that play a whole cycle is hidden: rain produces the food, the eater eats it, and the same rain becomes a kind of food for the eater as water.\n\nThe word 'thooum' means 'eats' or 'takes in'. Old commentators, Parimelazhagar among them, explain it as 'itself becoming food as well'. So rain is not merely the tool that makes food grow; it is a part of what quenches hunger. We know from our own experience that a meal without water will not go down the throat.\n\nValluvar names two roles of rain. One is indirect: it raises crops in the field and turns them into food. The other is direct: it is the drinking water and cooking water that blends into the meal. Once we see that, we see that the hand of rain is present in every grain of rice we put on a plate.\n\nWasting food has become casual today. At wedding feasts half a leaf of food goes to the bin. In each wasted mouthful, rain and the farmer's labour are wasted too. Remembering this verse can bring a little respect back to the way we look at our meals.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bca\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd

Courtyard","story_en":"It is the first day of the month of Thai. In the courtyard of old Marimuthu's house in a village, a new clay pot is set up for the Pongal. There are beautiful kolam patterns on the floor, a bunch of turmeric plant, sugarcane and a bunch of bananas. As the sun rises in the east, the milk in the pot boils over, and everyone shouts, \"Pongalo Pongal!\"\n\nHis grandson Arun has come from the city. Eating the pongal, he asks, \"Thatha, you make offerings to the sun and to the cow. Why do you not make a separate offering to the rain?\"\n\nHis grandfather takes him to the water tank at the edge of the courtyard. \"The rice for this pongal grew in a field, and that field got rain. The water we poured in the pot came from the well, and the well filled with rain. The sweetness of the sugarcane and the juice in the banana are also rain. Whatever we offer, it reaches the rain in the end,\" he says.\n\nArun looks at his plate. Each grain seems different now. That evening his grandfather reminds him of an old habit at the well: after the pongal, one pours a bowl of water at the root of the tulasi plant and says, \"Rain, thank you.\"\n\nArun does it. After returning to the city, every time he opens the tap, he remembers his grandfather's courtyard and the bowl of water. He becomes the first person in the family to speak up against wasted water.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"How many times today did you drink or eat something without remembering that it began as rain?","image_prompt":"A Pongal courtyard in a Tamil village: a clay pot of boiling milk with a kolam, sugarcane, banana bunch and turmeric plants, an old grandfather and a small boy beside a water tank, sunrise glow.
