During the cold of winter, it is the heat of the Khasi "shawla" that is the best in giving warmth. Just the sight of the red fiery charcoal is enough to make us feel warm and cosy. How we fight for a spot to sit around the "shawla" to feel the heat; even if only the face and hands are warm, one feels alive 😄😂 A bonus is getting to sit and eat around the "shawla" and add to that listening and telling stories of all kinds...❤️ This Khasi way of life is something we remember and know very well. It cannot be replaced by other ways in the world...the smell of winter air, the smell of hot charcoal, the aroma of boiling "tungrymbai" over the "shawla", the delicious smell of pork and mustard leaves boiling in a soup 😋😋😋 I'm getting hungry again!! 😂😂
