Its a cave up in the hill, hardly visible from the foothills. Looking at the condition I could make out that there never was much yield out of it but I found an old man sifting thru crushed stones from inside the cave looking for gold. My guide told me he was a tribal.

As children on summer vacation, some of us used to spend our days on our farm in Vazhakkad on the banks of River Chaliyar. A familiar sight those days was that of women sifting gold dust from the river sand using a towel (thorthumundu). Chaliyar originated in wynad hills and flowed through the hills containing gold deposits.<BR/>Calicut Heritage Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760552324718923006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-17190710645345451942009-04-02T06:14:00.000-04:002009-04-02T06:14:00.000-04:00Kafka said that there are only two sins: lethargy ...Kafka said that there are only two sins: lethargy and impatience. All of us are impatient and lethargic in one way or other. Your article reveals that this was the case with our predecessors also. Human nature remains the same; history gives us its account of how our impatience lands us in all sorts of trouble. Lethargy at times leads to impatience.
