Gun Powder

Interest in a region like the South or like Tibet or Isak Dinesen's Africa intensifies as the distance from the region increases. ~ William R. Ferris ( Region as Art)

Recently, at a restaurant , once all the orders were placed on the table, my friend missed something and asked if he could get Gun Powder. Now that would have shocked me if not for another friend who had told me about it a year ago. I should have known about it as a dry dip in my childhood itself. My first friend is from Delhi and the second one from Orissa. I am the closest to the origin of the dip but I knew the least about it.
