Everyday during my travel on the National Highway , i come across many Sabji Mandis, Wholesale shops where i find FARMERS standing with their products (vegetables ) of hard work they have done in the particular ongoing season. I always wonder if they are Human beings or stones , many farmers stand barefoot on the hot tar roads or verandas of the shops and mandis. Neither the scotching heat of summer nor the chilly winter or the furious cyclones affect them. They stand there to fill the stomachs and hearts of their family though they are aware of being cheated by the shopkeepers. For me this everyday sight of pain was intolerable and irresistible but i could not do anything.
BUT , Its since the last 10 days i am more excited to bike up through this highway everyday because the Scenario has completely changed now. It gave me immense pleasure to see such a sudden change in the scenario. I find no queues at the mandis or wholesale shops.
Many of the farmers are now selling their own sown vegetables sitting under the shade of trees and enjoying the cool breeze. i am glad to see them becoming self dependent . Finally they have sorted out a clever idea of selling their products and earning their living. They don't need to walk kilo meters to sell their vegetables. such a OFF season of agriculture , scarcity of water could not stop them from selling their vegetables.
I think that this is the most clever way that the farmers have found to stay happy and earn their living.
They sell all their products as the highway has a rush of passengers everyday.
when i approached the farmers and talked with them about their experience now, they were indeed very happy that they have now found a way to stay happy the whole year.
my message to everyone is - PLEASE DON'T BARGAIN , because farmers melt their blood to feed the society irrespective and unpredictable of their earnings.
Here i have attached a photo to beautify šmy post -
THESE FARMERS RESPECT YOU MORE THAN THE SERVER OF A RESTAURANT.š
THANK YOU for Reading.
