Chammandi Podi and My School days.

Yes ,my school days ....one of the best and memorable times of my life.

and what is the connection between those days and this chammanthi podi...??????????It was a regular item in my lunch box. When I opened the lunch box, the flavour of the chammanthi podi mixed with the hot rice...spreaded in the class..
