This week officially kicks off the Christmas festivity season. As I grew up in the village back in the 1980s, the sweet aroma of chapatis across the ridges on Jamhuri Day marked the beginning of merry making. It was always a sure indicator that chapati and sodas, a rare delicacy in the villages those days, would be in plenty.
