India cuisine or Indian food encompasses a wide variety of regional cuisines native to India.

Given the
range of diversity in soil type, climate and occupations, these cuisines vary significantly from each other
and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables and fruits. Indian food is also heavily influenced by
religious and cultural choices.

Clothing in India varies from region to region depending on the ethnicity, geography, climate and cultural
traditions of the people of that region. Historically, men and women's clothing has evolved from
simple Langotas and loincloths to cover the body to elaborate costumes not only used in daily wear but
also on festive occasions as well as rituals and dance performances. In urban areas, western clothing is
common and uniformly worn by people of all strata. India also has a great diversity in terms of weaves,
fibres, colours and material of clothing. Colour codes are followed in clothing based on the religion and
ritual concerned. For instance, Hindu ladies wear white clothes to indicate mourning, while Parsis and
Christians wear white to weddings.

Indian games like Kabaddi, Goli, Ghilli or the indoor games like the Dhaayakattam , paramapadham,
pallanguzhi, paandi or aadu puli aattam. These games have a rich culture and heritage value and were
tools of passing on some ancestral knowledge or the other. They also sharpened our observational and
math skills unlike the hit and run games of the west that are uni-dimensional and strengthen only hand
eye coordination. We would like to see our hubbers come out with details of their favorite native games
and how they enjoyed it.
