Express News Service As a young girl, I often hung out with my mother in the kitchen. Whenever there was a gathering, the women always grouped in the kitchen while the men sat down in the drawing rooms, waiting to be served.

Express News Service Jiiva’s Gypsy was one of the last films to hit the screens before the lockdown. Now soon after the screens have risen in the theatres, the actor is back with another offering, Kalathil Sandhippom. “Master’s collections were really good.
