Wow! What a mystery in Kerala. Anyone check out the coconut milk? Do the Sunni Muslims and Hindi families live peacefully? I think you are following Vishnu? I enjoyed your story - has to be the coconuts!! Love K xx

    Do you worship God?

    We follow Great Spirit who made the world. Aboriginal culture is honouring all living creatures. So many religions across the world. So simple to give thanks to Him that first loved us. K xx

    yes I do.

    I have no wish to insult your beliefs. "no one has seen god and lived." So..here goes, why do you bow down to graven idols like Vishnu? I love the Dalai Lama, read his books only to find out they don't believe in One God. The Taoists believe in hundreds of idols (with respect) I believe in Mary, mother of Jesus. No, not a catholic. I am a spiritualist. Now I have confused you. Shalom peace be with you. K xx

That is a most interesting place to have so many twins. It is also surprising that the author, who lived there for twenty years, didn't know. Have you perhaps had twin sons? You might want to change this phrase: . . . women who married (and moved to) far away towns . . .

Oh my, it is strange things are going around us, and we do not have a clue. And to be surrounded by people who are twins that look alike. It would be hard for me to separate them. Thank you for the awareness.

How interesting! I went off to read of this phenomenon and it is really quite remarkable...

Particularly as there is a similar phenomenon in Igbo ora, Nigeria!

Lots of theories, but no scientific explanation!

Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating piece! I've long been intrigued by twins, both identical and fraternal and the environment and genetic influences. I wanted to have fraternal twins!

This is so fascinating! Thank you for sharing about this village! And it was even news to you, who had grown up in Kerala. Hope you will share more about Kerala. I have a lovely marquetry picture of fishermen in Kerala so I am always keen to know more.

Minor nits:
.Didn't you know? (space after period and close quotes needed)

Question about punctuation:
I was always told to put punctuation inside quotes. Perhaps this is different in British/Indian English?

Meanwhile the people of Kodinhi are enjoying their fame". (I think this sentence belongs with the previous paragraph.)

    Punctuation inside quotes is right .except when the quote is a part of a sentence.Idont pay much attention to that since it is not intended for publication
    When I re read I check spelling and grammatical mistakes.
    I think I must start taking punctuation seriously.
    My husband says I have a 'this will do ' attitude for everything
    Thank you for reading .I wanted to write about as soon as I got the whatsapp.
    You are right about the sentence also. It should be moved to the previous para.
reply by lyenochka on 17-Mar-2022
    I heartily agree with your "this will do" attitude! IF we didn't have this attitude, we'd never get anything done! 😊💖

There must be something in the water there to produce that many sets of twins. They should get ahold of the Guiness Book of World Records. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting. Nice story.
Did you know about This? .You lived - oops. You don't need a period. And no capital of 'This'
I have a very faint recollection of hearing about, but not strong enough that it didn't come as a surprise.
Best wishes.
