An ajji’s* memorabilia consists of a variety of ingredients; a miniscule pinch of facts, a bubbling pint of her childhood ventures and sacksful of her wonky imagination. This concoction then proceeds to gather new meanings and associations over time brewing story-scapes that had once taken root in her mind’s eye, passing from generation to generation.
The Compendium thus brings to you, spruced up illustrated narratives that stem from the collective imagination of the authors built upon their ajjis’ potent reserves of botanical folklore. So rediscover the flora of Bengaluru through suspicious superstitions, frumpy facts and scandalmongering stories.
* Ajji is what you call your grandmother and her old lady friends and other old ladies who are not her friends.
