Kids had a field day during our field trip to farms at Toopran near Medchal. We stopped at mango orchards, cabbage patch and corn fields interplanted with tomatoes. Our pit stop at Gosala (cow shelter to refill our water bottles) was soothing.
The gosala was surrounded by lemon trees, bay leaf and curry leaf trees along with a chikoo garden. Dad (he hails from an agricultural family and owns few acres of land in his native village) Sudha (Horticulture graduate with a PG and in Agri-Business Mgt from MANAGE) and Venky (masters in Seed Tech besides Rural Mgt from IIRMA) felt nostalgic. I am equally passionate though I don’t hold relevant degrees like them. Abhee and Rashmi enjoyed despite the scorching heat. Harshil got a little bored after sometime and he preferred to play games on mobile. The farm workers gifted us cabbage, tomatoes, corn and raw mangoes. When I was eating corn cobs at home, when our neighbour Anish came with fresh cherries from their Shimla trip, it was like an icing on the cake. It turned out to be a memorable Sunny Sunday!!!!!!See More
