Life strategy.....farmer,s way..!!


It was the ending days of august 2004. I cleared my 12 th class, and was waiting eagerly for my next admissions. Me and my father were haunted by various suggestions from everyone. I was like' congress working committee deciding about Rahul Gandhi.' Me along with my father went to Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth for my admissions. We had first thought to take admission for agriculture faculty but i got Horticulture. When my admission was over i read the name of the college it was " Lokmangal Horticulture College" Located at some distance from my village. My father was happy that i backed his idea to take horticulture or agriculture as a carrier option; so that in case of emergency i can till my huge ancestral land which had no heir to it after my uncle.
From that day many of my relatives deleted my number from their diaries.....with the first thought of "horticulture???? wat the hell is that?"
Why we indians have produced so much of hatred towards agriculture..?
Why we are neglecting this idea that india was a agro based country and will be... Why we cannot impart the status to an agriculturist or farmers ......
Why we feel ashamed to tell this world that we are son of a farmer..?
..........The answer lies in the rotten mentality of people. People think that working in field lowers your standard. Everyone is racing towards Victorian era in which the agriculture lost it's glamor. It is the mentality of we indians that cause farmers of vidharbha and ap to suicide. People responsible for this are those which have been elected by us.. still there is no roar of people for the farmers...Is generousity of Indian people dead?? Have they lost their helping nature towards their neighbours and wellwishers...?
Hoooof.....only god can answer us.
But the fact persists....
" The shoes we wear in our feet are sold in airconditioned showrooms, and the vegetables we eat are sold on footpath we walk..."
Hey Ram!
