Farmer

    

Recently, while on a train journey, I was looking out of the train window.

    The train was passing through some villages. The sight was so beautiful-full of green fields, ready for harvest, some ploughed fields, the heart-warming sight of the men and women farmers, busy in the fields, in their noble work. That is, to provide food for the making, the birds, the animals, and other living creatures. 

    I was overwhelmed, to see the vast and unending agricultural lands, and crop fields. 

    It made me wonder, about how little do we know about the crops, the crops fields, the seeds, the harvesting, the irrigation system, and any other details, regarding the art and science of farming. 

    My heart is filled with gratitude for the farmers, or the annadata, as we call them in Hindi. It is due to their hard and relentless work, and efforts that we get the food on our dining table, the most important necessity to live and survive.

We Can't thank them enough, can we?

    Therefore, whenever you take your next bite of the food, remember to thank the farmer, from your heart.
