🦟 கொசு போராட்டம் அந்த காலம்! அந்த வேப்பிலை புகை நாட்கள்! How We Managed - Grandma’s Thoughts Tamil

🦟 MOSQUITOES — Our Tiny Olden-Day Nightmares! 😅

In this episode of Grandma’s Thoughts, Paati takes us back to a time before coils, vaporizers, or electric mats existed — when mosquitoes ruled the night and people had their own creative, natural, and funny ways to fight them!

🌙 Those Olden Nights in the 1960s–70s Tamil Nadu:

There were no All-Outs or Good Nights, just good nights full of buzzing! 💤

People used to light coconut husk smoke, cow dung cakes, and Neem leaves to drive mosquitoes away. 🌿

We’d burn “sambrani” in the evenings — both for its divine smell and mosquito control.

Every house had mosquito nets (kannadi valai) — carefully tucked under the mat.

During power cuts, we’d wave “vettiver fan” (marakkombu visiri) to get air and chase mosquitoes.

Some grandmas even believed camphor kept mosquitoes away — and it actually worked!

💭 “நாங்களே அந்த காலத்தில் கொசு துரத்தணும்னா, ஒரு கை விசிறி, கொஞ்சம் வேப்பிலை புகை, அவ்வளவுதான்! ஆனால் அந்த சிரிப்பு, அந்த சுகம் வேற மாதிரி தான்!”

🌿 Natural Remedies Used Then (அந்த கால கொசு துரத்தும் வழிகள்):

Neem leaves burned at dusk 🌿

Tobacco leaf smoke in open courtyards 🚬

Oil lamps (குச்சித் தீபம்) with castor oil or citronella oil 💡

Cow dung smoke near doorways 🚪

Tulsi plants kept near windows to purify air 🌸

Mosquito nets stitched from fine cotton by hand 🧵

People lived close to nature. These remedies weren’t just practical — they connected families. Everyone joined in to set up nets, light the sambrani, or fan each other in turns. ❤️

🕯️ Then vs Now:

🕰️ Then: Smoke, neem, patience, laughter.
⚡ Now: Repellents, sprays, electricity.
Even though technology has advanced, those old methods carried warmth, togetherness, and simple joy.

🌺 “இப்போ ஒரு மிஷின் போடுறோம், ஆனால் அந்த காலம் போல அந்த ஒத்துழைப்பு, அந்த குடும்ப பந்தம் இல்ல!”

Through this video, Paati recalls the ingenious home remedies that kept mosquitoes away — and reminds us that simple living often came with beautiful bonding.
