It’s a good example of Indian’s figuring things out, as they seem to always do!

This is a cheap (actually free) way of threshing the grain. Normal way is to take a bunch of cereal plant and beat it down on a hard surface. Farmers who either do not have the manpower or machine power to do this employ this technique. The vehicles move over the laid out grains which threshes it effectively to loosen the husk from the grain. Rest is simply winnowing the stuff. But its good that you noticed it as we never even give it a second thought.

Rice is laid out in the road to dry and vehicles run over the kernals, which are then sifted to separate the chaff from the grain

Well, it definitely took some time and I can’t say it was top of their list, but they wanted to see me and get to know Ben. They’ve told me it’s a one time thing! But you should try to convince yours about Cambodia, would be so cool! You can tell them “but rachel’s parents went to India…” like we all did as kids haha

I’m surprised you haven’t seen it! I’ve seen it mostly in Goa and Karnataka.

By the way absolutely loved your posts on North India and Amritsar.

I guess. What an idea. Not bad?

I think it’s awesome that your parents are so open to visiting you in India. My parents wouldn’t even entertain the idea of visiting me in Indonesia. I’m working really hard to convince them to visit me when I move to Cambodia. I think I’m making some progress but still. Anyway, it’s nice your parents are down for a little adventure :)
