DEATH ON THE NILE

By Dr. R Sudarshan

A beautiful couple. A fantastic vacation. A brilliant river. A leisurely cruise. Food, music, idyll, and a magically buoyant float. But then, a murder. And of course, an intelligent sleuth who can split the hair and find a needle in a haystack is on board. What's now left is a hair-raising murder mystery that grips you as unforgivingly as the jaws of a crocodile. Written in 1937, this Agatha Christie thriller was made into a major Hollywood movie, just 2 months ago. And in 60 days, it has grossed over 140 million US dollars. Mysterious minds are monstrous money makers.

At first, let's imagine a young Agatha Christie on a cruise on the Nile. She kept watching one of the best sights on the planet - a deep and meandering life-giving river, jaw-dropping monuments of Abu Simbel, the spectacular necropolis, and all the while, instead of savoring the land's story like we all do, she was watching people and thinking of a murder of someone beautiful. If she didn't, the world of literature would be so much poorer!

One of her best - is on the shelf now.

THE LIFE SUSTAINING HOLLOW HEARTS OF PAPAYA

By Dr R Sudarshan A tall papaya tree bit the dust when the night rider wild pigs dug into its base to steal it's succulent roots. And a curious little boy visitor to the farm chopped and sliced it to feel the power of an axe. We then rediscovered a string of hollow chambers in the stem that we had long forgotten after the college days. The pith cavities are the multiple hearts of the papaya vascularity. Raising water and nutrition from ground to sky, holding them in steps to strengthen the tall growing stem and gradually filling those fruits with the pulp and nectar, the hollowness is the substance of this existence. A plant is a wondrous source of symmetry, geometry, science, technology and food. And a farm is a relearning device.

COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1

By Dr. R Sudarshan EATING CLEAN: COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1;  Featured Speaker - Sindhu Ramachandra;  Friday, 15 July 2022 at 5:30 PM E ating clean is a lifestyle fundamental, easily ignored and abused in the fast lane of tongue temptations. And the long convoluted tube that we call 'gut' is often turned into a gutter that is forced to process what it is not meant for - synthetic food, herbicides, pesticides, and life-threatening substances. Sindhu is a biochemist with work experience from IISc. She pursues data science and AI in the context of biochemistry. An ardent believer in organic farming, she cares for clean foods. And she knows how unclean foods can turn your life upside down. Community Dialogues at the Farmer's House are an engagement with reason to restore the dignity of life. Come, listen, interact and benefit. Attendance is FREE. Register with Gagan at 97421 62956. * * * Farmer's House, Silverfish Books, Kutz Bowl and the Farmer's Market, # 1A, 13th Cross,...
