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

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.
