PURE PASHMINA FROM LADAKH

By Dr. R Sudarshan

We have been involved in natural resources-based livelihood support missions and policy horizons in the country. In this process, we have advised the Khadi and Village Industries Commission of the Government of India to revive many defunct village industries, among which is Pashmina handcrafting in Leh, Kashmir, so that the Kashmiri artisans could bring out pure and fine pashmina shawls and stoles into the market once again. A number of Kashmiri artisans are now retrained and empowered in the process.

As a result, we have access to a few numbers of pre-launch orders on pure Ladakhi pashmina shawls (200cm x 100cm) and stoles (200cm x 70cm) at the introductory price of Rs. 16,590 for shawls and Ra. 13,272 for stoles.

We will be happy to pass this on to this community and place pre-orders with the Commission before they exhaust their limited edition. The quality is guaranteed by the KVIC of Govt of India.

Should you be interested, please message us on 8105112990 and arrange pre-order payment at the store or through a sharable QR code that we can send.

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,...
