The farmer and his fellows
He calls them "fellows", talks of them attaining "samadhi".
He is TK, adjudged as the "Best Farmer" in Kerala. And "them" are his plants, his beloved plants in his beloved farm at Manimala, Kerala.
The whole class was off to Manimala(an hour from here) this morning to visit this guy's farm. He farms on a mountain with step cultivation, grows vanilla, bananas and pepper. Told us a lot about what he grows and how he grows them.
He's spent almost 18 lakh on this farm and says that no farmer would spend this kind of money in one year. And, he's built a huge water tank.
Told us some secrets about the "arrow root'(poova) ...
After the farm, we went to the Manimala river, was awesome.
I finished the day off(after talking an hour with a senior who had come down from Mumbai) by going to the theatre to watch "Ghazini". Didn't get tickets. Will try again tomorrow.
