LITTLE ANUSHKA



By Dr. R Sudarshan

Little Anushka comes every Wednesday to the midweek mini-market, with some produce from her farm. 

She arranges the vegetables and greens with a sense of elegance. She picks up pieces of paper and labels the display. 

She uses freshly washed clothes to drape the greens that would otherwise fade and faint in the sun. 

She is a draper, designer, and fashion maker of the midweek market display. 

And as she waits for the customers to come and shop, she collects bugs, praying mantes, and insects and watches them wiggle.

ANUSHKA'S MIDWEEK MARKET ENCOUNTERS

Watch video: https://fb.watch/dxj9C0DTvC/

We earlier wrote how little Anushka brings her farm produce to the market, helps manage the floor, and sits fascinated with bugs and butterflies.

Today, she helped keep away the orders, labeled them, and then sat down with a blob of jackfruit latex, playing with its elastic ecstacy.

Pasting okra tops on the wall, breaking the beans with a sound, slipping on a peel of banana, or sticking a finger on the sticky sap of a tree have lessons that are largely lost from our inorganic life. 

But Anushka's midweek market encounters fascinate us. She silently demonstrates that you cannot create what nature can. And you cannot fascinate the mind like nature does.

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,...
