Falling of fruits is a rhythm to the ears

    

         My childhood days were filled with eating and tasting home 

grown fruits and veggies. Tapioca and corn are the two crops we 

had in bigger plots in the farm. Tapioca needs at least 8 to 10 

months to have the roots formed as food. I love to taste the tapioca 

and corn my own way since I was 10 years old in the farm itself. 

Tapioca was grown beside corn and both were getting  ready to be 

harvested, around 8^th month of  tapioca, I pulled those roots which 

were young and tender and make fire using the dried tapioca leaves   

and started to roast the tapioca without  peeling the skin.

       

       While the tapioca was cooking, I collected few corns from the 

crop and roasted in the fire the whole corn until the outer layers all 

burnt but the inside grains were so fresh and clear. Wow, the taste 

was unpredictable. Gone are the days, which I really miss in my 

life.

         

      But in few years I have created my own farm with my choice of fruit trees and flowers, now days when ever a jack fruit or a coconut falling down, the sound was like music to my ears. I love to hear the sound of falling fruits. Almost every day lately either a 

small or fully formed fruit is falling, and I’m getting the chance to 

help others to feed and to taste the sweet and juicy jack fruits.

        

     Bananas and coconuts have been great help by getting these 

fruits for home consumption. Even this morning the fruits falling 

sound were something, beautiful.
