My father was a rice farmer, so each member of my family did his or her part—from sprouting the paddy to harvesting, sun-drying and selling the final product. Being a rice farmer is a “back-breaking job.” That’s why I respect and love my bowl of rice; I eat it with pride.

However, one of my most fun memories is rice coloring. In the Hindu faith, there are many ceremonial functions where rice, colored or plain, is used as an offering. Turmeric-colored rice was always a favorite.
