My mother grew up in a village, in a walauwa on a hill. They didn’t have electricity for years, didn’t have a phone line, and still cook over a wood fire. When Amma came back from boarding school she was given Ayurvedic medicine that made her copiously shit herself. Now people pay money for this experience. Who knew?
