Lisa Ray Instagram – Posted @withregram • @aanch_m For this week’s story for the Museum of Material Memory, Amrita C Roy writes about Aahaar’e Baahaar, or the art in food – a way of life for Bengalis, through the beautiful, heirloom terracotta moulds her grandmother carried across during Partition from Cumilla to Calcutta. . . “Rural Bengal, Mid-19th Century: A warm winter afternoon lulling everybody into a lazy post-lunch siesta. The lady of the house too, lay on the bed, musing about her next batch of sweet sandesh. But the sweetness she dreamt of felt unfitting to be filled within formless lumps, as they normally were, and thus grew an endeavour over decades, or perhaps centuries, to give a more ornate structure to the fabled sweetmeats of Bengal. These efforts took different shapes and forms in clay, stone and wood, and became as indispensable to the process as the ingredients that went into these sweets. This revolution is known as the Chhaanch, the Bangla word for cast or mould, and has ‘shaped’ the Bengali’s obsession with sweetmeats for decades. They are mostly passed on as heirlooms within women in the family. I, too, inherited these terracotta moulds from my mother during my wedding, who herself had inherited these from my Thaakuma, my paternal grandmother. My Thaakuma, in turn, had inherited some of these from her aunt who raised her in the Cumilla district of present-day Bangladesh. It was there she grew up and was married to my Thakurdada. During the 1947 Partition, Thaakuma had to make her journey across the border to Kolkata alone, and while she couldn’t carry much, a few Chhaanch made this perilous journey with her.” . . Head over to the @museumofmaterialmemory to read more from ‘Sweet Imprints’ by Amita C Roy.
Lisa Ray Instagram – ‘In our relentlessly busy contemporary world, we are forever trying to defer the onset of winter. We don’t ever dare to feel it’s full bite, and we don’t dare to show the way it ravages us. An occasional sharp wintering would do us good. We must stop believing that these times in our lives are somehow silly, a failure of nerve, a lack of willpower. We must stop trying to ignore them or dispose of them. They are real, and they are asking something of us. We must learn to invite the winter in. We may never choose to winter, but we can choose how.’ – from ‘Wintering, The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times’ by @katherinemay_ Wearing my mood in @lunya
