Rain drops on a blade of paddy! A picture from this morning’s trip, that looks so beautiful. The fields in Karjat are in the middle of harvesting the summer paddy crop and yesterday’s major showers (out of the blue and a week and more after the announced departure of monsoon) have come as a major blow. One of the drops resembles a tear and that’s the mindset of the farmer. Rain during harvesting can ruin the entire crop and waste six months hard labour. They’re now waiting for the sun to come out, for the crop to dry and hoping that will happen in the next day or two. And also that there will be no rain during this time. I’m praying that it happens that way. So my friends in my village are saved from a tragedy. #nature #iphone7plus
