Fishing using termite nests: A traditional fishing technique in Kerala.
When we were kids, the "Thodu" or the local stream running at the border of our estate was a constant source of entertaintment. We would spend hours and days bathing and fishing in the stream.

That day we caught over a bucket load of fishes and were so exhausted carrying it back home. It has been ages since we tried that technique and now, decades later, I finally got an opportunity to document the process. So here goes. BGM is Wind Riders by Asher Fulero.
