Meet your neighbor in the bus stop, or a relative, an old
colleague, or acquaintance at a party, the most convenient and approachable topic
of our conversation—the no-fire zone of our lives—is weather talk.
“What a weather! Hadn’t felt anything like this in years!” It
could also be ‘rain-talk’, or even ‘snow-talk’, and vary in accordance with the
environmental peculiarities of the place one inhabits. Here, in Cannanore,
Kerala, the Southern side of India, it is mostly ‘rain’. Sometimes, ‘heat’
becomes a topic too.
What does this have to do with a writer?
