Lock Down day 4

The workers residing in the hotel washed a lot of their clothes today and hanged it out to try. They put the song 'hawa hawa ye hawa khushbhu luta de' listening to the song after 30 years and was surprised i remember the lyrics..i sang along while cleaning /repotting my balcony plants

We konkanis always stock rice and tuvar dal in big quantities. I have 30 kgs of organic red rice from teerthahalli and about 5 kg of dal. Am willing to share with my fellow residents.
 Today our hyper market van was due but did not turn up. Have stocks of potatoes and onions. Starting today we will prepare ganji / gruel...it means consuming less food and at the same time good hydration to the body. I have some malabar spinach growing in my pot so that will take care  of greens in our diet for atleast 5 days.

I have decided to drink only one cup of tea starting today...my only luxury...until milk lasts
Srikanth is on conference call with field workers , who in turn keep in touch with the farmers via cell phone and apps to boost their flagging morales. They tell us how their farm produce is getting wasted. And people in our building are asking for vegetables. Transport and drivers are not available. But then it is their life too . We cannot ignore that fact.
Called Nimpi. She says she is getting a lot of assignment that is keeping her busy. Miss her. Akka is getting cake orders...food is one business that thrives no matter what...we both have some food plans.. Crossing fingers. That is keeping us going...making plans
