The Farm has not got its shower since 11 months now. Whatever be the climate in India, the local climate is dry and drought as it had been in the past. Rain was there even some 6 kilometers from my farm, but not a drop here. Here are the visuals that I persuaded Subbu to send (Otherwise he was reluctant to send me the sight of dry farm).
Fact is fact. Sinc the pictures are self explanatory, I am not writing any commentary for anything except few slides that cannot be understood without my comment. However I must congratulate and be grateful to Subbu to have kept all the trees with borrowed water, stolen water, purchased water and stored water. The life is struggle and it keeps going........ You must contrast these trees with the die-hard juliflora weed which itself has dried outside the farm. The juliflora is supposed to live in near zero water conditions.

| The beautiful seating arrangment is now having a setting |
 |
| Tree is in shape of a tree finally |
 |
| Not even a blade of grass. Except trees which are tended carefully |
 |
| On the way to mud pond |
 |
| These coconut trees have not come up well. They are 2nd batch purchased from valliyoor. The earlier batch purchased form Ramji Nursary, Nagarcoil is excellent. Now we know where to purchase from |
 |
| Jasmine 1st batch. Glad the bushes have become big. |
 |
| Jasmine 2nd batch in famine |
 |
| Just outside the farm, the shrubs are so dry |
 |
| The new borewell is covered with an old hand pump. This will be where verticle windpump will be built. Currently our folks are pumping water in hot sun. I asked subbu to construct shade He had purchased the knotted coconut leaves, but lack of support kept is pending |
 |
| Dry and no growth except casurina. These trees are drinking purchased water and is a mistake |
 |
| Windpump at backdrop. Which is sustaining all living things for the past 11 months silently working to maximum capacity. |
 |
| 2nd seating arrangement. Otherwise for water this should be greenest of places. |
 |
| Near the tower. All banana trees have gone. |
 |
| The Red banana. Atlast one or two have escaped hard summar. This was procured from Thirumurthy farm near Coimbatore |
 |
| Banana used to be here |
 |
| Around the farm. This is the reality. My farm is an oasis. |
