Mac under the Mango tree

My dear social friends, brothers and sisters :)... I trust everyone is doing well. In this blog, I am sharing little about Papaya Trees in my farm.  Please check out below tree. This is a 6 months old tree.     This is my second set of papaya trees. I have planted over 100 trees in the 2nd batch.  More than 50% of trees are in good shape and healthy at this point. As you can see in the picture, if the tree is healthy it gives good yielding.  We have to put extra care during initial 30 days. We need to water them daily and apply manure during first few weeks. I have setup drip-irrigation in my farm. Here is the glimpse of few more trees. If the tree is in dark green color, you can easily assume it is healthy. However there are few trees in light green color, and it is OK.  If the tree is in yellow color, mostly it will not yield anything. Now, coming to yielding, easily you could get around 50 kgs in a week. Farm price is: 10 INR per kg. I do give lots of free stuffs to relatives and n

Hi Everyone -- I trust everyone is doing OK. My prayers are always there for everyone's well-being. Happy Pongal Wishes to all. In this article, I will share little about the importance and history of this festival.     Why Pongal Celebrations?  This festival honours the "Sun GOD" and commemorates the Sun's northward voyage . It also signifies the end of winter.   The festival is named after the ceremonial "Pongal", which means "to boil, overflow" and refers to the traditional dish (rice) prepared from the new harvest of rice boiled in milk with jaggery (raw sugar). To mark the festival, the pongal sweet dish is prepared, first offered to Sun God and goddesses. It is celebrated to THANK nature, farmers, cows, agriculture and GOD...... Food and cattle are a vital part of this celebration  Some more historical story: Why Cows? :) According to a legend, it all started when Shiva's bull, Basava, delivered a wrong message to humans. Instead of d

Hi Everyone -- I trust you, family and friends are doing OK.  My prayers are always there, for everyone's well-being. Omicron cases are being reported towards upward trend, and it is spreading faster. Please take care of yourself, and family. Healthy Life is always Wealthy Life. In this blog, I am going to share little bit about my experiences from WFH - Work From Home.   Again, it is purely my personal experience and I thought of sharing this to world, hoping that it will help someone. I am sure, everyone is doing WFH for last 2 years. Then, what is here to share? :)...  OK!. It is about, "where" we work from home ..... I have experienced two things, and I thought of sharing this. 1. Work From Outside Home (WFOH) Below pic is from my WFOH, along with nature and moon.   2 . Work From Inside Home (WFIH) Below pic is from my WFIH, where my family helped a lot.    OK, Let us do deep-dive. :) Work From Inside Home - WFIH: I took one room completely and started locking whe

 Hi Everyone -- Hope you are doing OK and staying safe. Covid second wave did hit many people in India. Thanks to everyone, who helped others. Take care of yourself, family, friends and colleagues. In this blog, I am going to share about "growing papaya at home" and the happiness it gives. You would feel the happiness when it yields. You would be even more happy, when you share the fruits with your family members,  neighbours or relatives. It is a great short term crop, if you are a farmer. It gives output within a year for sure.  I have shared my papaya growing experience in my earlier blog . https://blog.prabakarpaulsami.com/2020/05/what-is-winning-attitude.html A well known fact about this fruit:  A  cup of papaya when had on an empty stomach is known to clear the digestive tract of toxins and smoothen the bowel movement due to the presence of digestive enzymes. It is also known to keep away digestive disorders like bloating, upset stomach and constipation.  It is a rich

 Hi Everyone -- Hope you are doing well, keeping safe and getting back to normal post-covid activities.  In this blog, I will share about my 6+ years old mango trees...  Mango is King of Fruits in India. We planted these set of mango trees almost 6 years ago in farm. When I purchased these trees from an agriculture office, the officer told me that, it will yield in 3 years. But, I had to wait for another 3 years to see the trees blooming. Below picture is latest one from farm. Tree is full of flowers "first time", as of this month.  Happiness is unlimited :) . When you see the flowers, when you touch these flowers, the experiences are un-explainable.  Unstoppable honey bees and beeping bird sounds are around these trees now.  I am not sure, whether all of these flowers will yield in Mango fruits, but I will hope for best. Mist play a big role in harvesting. Hope the weather conditions become favor of the trees, to get proper mango yielding. In my day to day job, we release so
