Before the discovery
of the telephone, air conditioning and television – and heirs: cell phones,
smart wiring and the Internet – when a person would walk to where they wanted
to go, porches give a place for leisure and entertaining much different than
today. Aside from a school dance or church social, porches were institutions
for community togetherness. Now you can see these porches in house in Cochin.
However, with the post-World War II rise of soda shops, backyard barbecues and
widespread media came the refuse of porch parties, as they were known.

In the past few
years, people have back to spending more of their relaxation time at home with
their family and friends, taking their once personal backyard functions around
to the front, reconnecting with their community and re-establishing that
neighborly conduct they witnessed or heard about as a child. Of course, some
communities will be a witness to never losing this friendship, because they
exist in mostly rural areas or are derived from a population whose families
have spent generations in one neighborhood.
