A Proof is not proof until it is proven.

A tornado is not a tornado until there's proof of a touch-down or contact with the ground or til EC (Environment Canada)  says so. Only if a funnel cloud touches the ground does it quality to be declared a tornado.

The Goan 'Picaas' (Pick-axe)

The Goan 'Picaas' (Pick-axe)
Line Drawing by Tony Fernandes

A mid-sized implement for a lot of jobs.

Forged by professional local master craftsmen and iron-smiths of yesteryear, the pick-axe is a handy tool used in many village households, and also in the construction and agricultural sector in Goa. Mainly used in stone quarries for cutting out and shaping the initial rough form of commonly used laterite stones. for building houses, schools, churches, temples, bridges, river-side embankments, forts, government and commercial buildings, compound walls, and especially for wedged shapes and circular segments used for arches and round wells by professional masons.

The shape of this tool is generally T-shaped. Its head is typically metal, attached perpendicularly to a longer handle, traditionally made of wood. It has a pointed end on one side of its head and a broad flat blade opposite. A gradual curve characteristically spans the length of the head which gives it the advantage and leverage both for breaking and prying from both ends. The axe is used for hoeing, skimming, and chopping through roots.It is also used in mining and digging in hard rocky terrain and other tough earth surfaces

Cooking with firewood, Goa

Cooking by using firewood was the norm in the old days. Firewood in the form of logs and dried branches from trees were used for preparing food. People made their own configurations of the common 3-stone arrangement. Wood was gathered from local forests or bought as cut pieces from suppliers and stored in huts for the monsoons. 

The idea that the distinct and unique taste of food cooked over fire, added with the element of porous clay pots in which the food has been cooked in, has been wafting in the air for centuries. Some folks erected special standard table height platforms while others had a similar arrangement on the floor.
