In Kerala, one can’t get enough of pathiris during the month of Ramzan
The Hindu
While even the traditional pathiris vary from one place to another, there are umpteen varieties that are eaten as snacks
It is the month of Ramzan and in Kerala, pathiris — gluten-free flatbread made with roasted rice flour — are everywhere, especially in the northern districts of Kozhikode, Kannur and Malappuram. Even traditional pathiris vary from place to place, within these regions. The finest version called neriya pathiri or nice pathiri in Kozhikode becomes a slightly thicker orotti or kai pathiri in Vadakara, Thalassery and Mahe. Tyre pathiri, the plumpest of the lot, resembling a bun, is popular in Wayanad. Ranging from the basic flatbread to layered and deep-fried varieties, one is spoilt for choice.After a long, tiring day all we want is to jump right on our cosy beds and rest comfortably on our soft, fluffy pillows, right?

Let’s get into the origin of your everyday pillows!
As the November 30 deadline nears for installing vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD) and emergency panic buttons in public service and nationally permitted goods vehicles in Karnataka, transport unions representing cab, bus, and truck operators are urging the government to reconsider the mandate.
