indus
minnesota_chris My basmati rice comes from the Indus River valley, located in Pakistan. It's the only rice I buy, I love the flavor.

I imagine a wide, brown river, like the Ganges or Mekong. A working river, filled with houseboats and laborers working on the flooded rice plains. Shielding themselves from the burning equatorial sun.

If I am what I eat, can I say that a part of me is from the Indus valley? What I am, springs from the labor of the Pakistani workers in the rice fields. Is there a part of me drawn to the Indus, drawn to home?
