Every day of the year Usha spending hours making poppadums upon the Cheralai pavement near Palace Road. Drawing the whole process of kneading the dough, rolling it into a long sausage, cutting into small pieces, pressing flat, rolling with metal pin, weighting the stack, spreading out on a sack to dry in the sun. . . . .is fascinating. She does everything with supreme deftness and at speed, with a rhythm and a generous smile.
