Days 106-111: Writing turns into daily log

26/08/2020 Day 155 Posting previous daily logs today. I am phenomenally out of sync. When the lockdown began the idea was to write at least 500 words everyday. It began lagging behind on date. Yet, in the city there was enough spare time to do this (what else can one do switching between drawing room … Continue reading Days 106-111: Writing turns into daily log →

Day 99: From ‘camera to pen’

Anji, Wardha. July, 2020 01/07/2020 Day 99 This morning was a fast paced ride to a reservoir beyond Saldara. It sits at the base of a hill and has no human activity around it. Makes a good place to watch birds and early mornings. It has been  a good month of nature walks and cycle … Continue reading Day 99: From ‘camera to pen’ →

Day 97: Few changes

Ajangaon. June 2020 29/06/2020 Day 97 Writing these daily updates has been slow and lagged behind in the past two weeks. When days begin to get filled with outdoors writing takes a hit. The tradeoffs are clear. Lockdown days helped in observing reading and writing beahviour closely. As of now, both of them stand severely … Continue reading Day 97: Few changes →

Day 90: In the now

Soybean crop. June 2020 22/06/2020 Day 90 It was an indecisive day for cycling. The town isn't big, but the chaos of vehicles during morning hours gets me. It is preferable to drive out with the cycle in the car, ride a trail and  drive back. Early morning confusion about which direction to take meant … Continue reading Day 90: In the now →

Day 88: Biodiversity and farming

20/06/2020 Day 88 The seeds sown last week have sprouted. We see a dotted green ground on a brown earth. The sky is overcast but the greyness doesn’t make the landscape dull. Sometimes, I feel I should have continued with biotechnology and ecology as disciplinary education and training. There is so much in our immediate … Continue reading Day 88: Biodiversity and farming →

Day 84: Extraordinary or more of the same?

16/06/2020 Day 84 The day was spent on work calls. Working from home no longer seems a major shift in lifestyle as we get past the fourth month of the pandemic. Over the course of these days the writing here has meandered through personal observations, opinion on issues I care about and events. We are … Continue reading Day 84: Extraordinary or more of the same? →

Day 82: One Straw Revolution in these times

Ajangaon, June 2020 14/06/2020 Day 82 Started early for the farm today. A tractor was arranged to do pre-sowing weed removal from both the plots. After the land is ploughed and made ready for sowing, a few brief spells of rain can lead to a burst of all sorts of weeds. In a near miraculous … Continue reading Day 82: One Straw Revolution in these times →

Day 81: Two really good hours

Farm. June 2020 13/06/2020 Day 81 The concern these days is about finding time with unbroken attention. Finding an uninterrupted three hour slot is an effort. It must be the place and its rhythm which seems to dissolve away markers of time. One hour blends into the other and morning turns into noon effortlessly. This … Continue reading Day 81: Two really good hours →

Day 80: Cycling

Wardha. June 2020 12/06/2020 Day 80 A six-lane expressway is taking shape. It cuts through a landscape of farms as though the road’s path is pre-ordained and everything else in its path must give in. The sight is a bit upsetting for someone who has seen the farms and the pace of life around it … Continue reading Day 80: Cycling →

Day 78: Resuming even as pandemic rages

10/06/2020 Day 78 There is not much to write about these days in terms of the direct effect of the pandemic - locked cities, restrictions on movement and a sense of anxiety appear to have faded out. Most countries are busy ‘opening up’. Even as this is happening, infections and deaths continue to happen at … Continue reading Day 78: Resuming even as pandemic rages →
