Announcing the season of Mangoes!


Although mango trees are in blossom, we heard yesterday from farmer that the flowering season has been delayed due to paucity of rains. This started a conversation which disturbed me... all the woes because of change of climate!

The farmers are dependent on the weather for all their produce. Since the climatic conditions have changed with the day temperature and humidity going up, most farmers are weary of good produce!

In the place where Anna and I live, vast areas of farm land remains uncultivated because of adverse climatic conditions, non-avialbility of farm labourers, and high cost of production!

Those who used to depend upon agricultural income are no more comfortable economically!

There is always something that reminds us of the needs of others!
