I remember an old lady whom we used to address as “Ajji” (grandma) selling Yelachi Hannu (Ber in Urdu) outside our school. And yes, I used to buy them once in a while and enjoy the sourness of the fruit. I try to relive those memories now, but it is just not the same!
Plant Summary:

When I see staircases made out of wood, they churn out a lot of memories of old homes. The staircase would lead to the attic with a wooden floor, where kids would gather and play indoor games like alugulimane/Mancala game, chauka bara/ludo, ane kallu/5 stones, card games, anthakshari and so on.

Kalabeda, kola beda, husiya nidiyalu beda
Muniya beda, anyarige asahya padabeda
Thanna bannisabeda, idira aliyalu beda
Ide antaranga shuddhi, ide bahiranga shuddhi
Ide namma koodala sangananolisuva pari.
The above verse was penned by the great poet and saint Basavanna.
Don’t rob, Don’t kill, Never ever lie
Don’t get angry, Don’t think negative about others
Don’t self describe, Don’t tease others
This is the way of self respect, this is the way to get respected by the world.
This is the way of impressing my lord Koodala sangam deva.
