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

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.

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,...

A CURATOR'S AMARYLLIS

By Dr. R Sudarshan T he maiden book of the Silverfish Books curator ( https://www.amazon.in/Beauty-Queen-Pathway-Pageantry-Sudarshan/dp/9390924103 ) was published by Amaryllis in August 2021. To commemorate the day of publication, we planted Amaryllis at our farm. Some 8 months later, the Amaryllis has begun to bloom at the farm, coinciding with our curator's signing an agreement with Trinidad and Tobago in the wider Caribbean to provide them her mentorship in pageantry, based on her book. Coincidences are as impossible to explain as the spirit of symbolism is. Nonetheless, the book is now a milestone in the life avenue of Silverfish and the Amaryllis flower now is a milestone at the farm that's an integral part of our bookstore.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF CULANTRO

By Dr R Sudarshan Y es. Culantro and not Cilantro. The long distance cousin of coriander that came from Mexico in the middle centuries to Europe and landed in India approximately some 300 to 400 years ago along with its Mediterranean cousin Cilantro, the coriander. Culantro is relatively rare but so much more stronger than coriander that once you are used to this, coriander recedes to a second choice. A couple of Culantro plants have been taken to the farm and are growing impressively well. Probably, there will be lots of seeds in a few weeks, so that we could propagate and feature the leaves in the weekly market too. And one plant of Culantro has prospered well in a pot at the store too.
