DOSAGE 500 TWICE A MONTH - A BOOKSTORE RENEWS


By Dr. R Sudarshan

June has been an extraordinary month. People from far and wide have walked into the store and browsed the books. The variety has expanded and the numbers have gone beyond the space for 10,000 by stacking up behind the front lines. Readers have increasingly found what they wanted and the wishlist has grown taller. And yes, curating is at its dynamic best.

Meanwhile, the second lot of 500 books have arrived this week. 

Silverfish Books - a world of creative minds, bound in volumes on a humble shelf.

THE LOST DAUGHTER

By Dr. R Sudarshan

She has two children and is divorced. When the children go for a while to live with their dad, she anticipates a void but feels lighter and liberated. She gifts herself a holiday and confronts the unexpected. Her liberal mind now lays layers of conflicting emotions that bind us all to our children, making this life simply complex.

That's Elena Ferrante and her master craft on womanhood, motherhood, and the protagonist's lonely parenthood. Now turned into a major movie in Hollywood.

On our shelf - emotions that you too went through in life but never spoke in words.

ITO OF THE EAST

By  Dr R Sudarshan I to Hiroshi came to Farmer's House over two years ago to take a look. He so much liked what we do that he came to the farm a few times to discover more. He told us then that he feels so inspired to open a cafe to use fresh farm produce. We liked what he said, but forgot about it all in time. Ito of the East walked again into Farmer's House this morning, after years. He narrated how he opened a store in downtown Tokyo and named it Mysore Cafe . He explained that he now grows some ingredients and cooks them fresh. He was thankful to have walked into Farmer's House, years ago. He was proud that he had linked 2 different cultures by a tether of common excitement. Yes, it feels good. For any relevant query, message 81051 12990.

THE TREE HOUSE OF WEAVER ANTS

By  Dr R Sudarshan S ome 20 feet high above the ground on the Soursop plant on the farm, a football-sized nest has come up overnight. And thousands of weaver ants are still busy bending the leaves and enlarging their tree house. Weaver ants are almost mythical. Hundreds of them stand in a line and bend the leaves together, just like the slaves in Cecil B Demille's epic films moved massive stones to build the pyramid. Then they bring in their own larvae, shake them back and forth and squeeze out their silk saliva to glue the leaves into globule nests. They feed on aphids and other harmful insects. Such friendly creatures help natural farming. But they can also bite if we intrude and disturb their peaceful life in their farmhouse.

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,...
