FOR A BOOK IN THE SKY


By Dr. R Sudarshan

The tribal artisans are at the farm, working 10 hours a day on the tree house, sitting where you could read a book. They think, sit back to reflect, cut the culms, peel out the layers, put together the pieces, balance the odds, tie the loose ends, nail a point and weave a magic of bamboo narrative. That's just like the process of writing a book. 

Soon in a week, there will be a sky ground, some 50 feet above terra firma between the branches where the birds nest. You could read a book in the sky and converse with thin air.

A presentation of uneducated tribal men for the educated Urban people.  

A Silverfish Books' dream.

A SENSE OF PERFECTION IS AN ORGANIC ESSENTIAL

By Dr. R Sudarshan

The tribal boys that are building a tree house at Padma Farms as a reading abode for Silverfish are obsessive perfectionists. They hardly rest. They aren't eager to break for lunch. They don't do shoddy work. Meticulous, diligent, and well, they make us scramble for adjectives.

That's because safety and speed are organic instincts of survival in the jungle. And engineering is their natural instinct, unrelated to education.

This week, the tree house would be ready. Silverfish community could climb to the sky to read a book. And the tree house tribal boys can buy some urban goodies and go back to their families in the bush.

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,...
