Organic Farming šŸŒ±

Recently, I had watched a Telugu movie named Bheeshma, starring Nithiin and Rashmika. The reason I started with this topic, is due to the base of it. A lot about about the topic of organic farming has been talked about in the movie, which developed interest in me. 

It led me into a lot of other searches regarding the same. I donā€™t really believe in ā€˜pure and healthy foodā€™, after movies like Velaikkaran and Aruvam. I know that might sound silly, but these are definitely few of the movies which could change perspectives.The idea of coming up with such films with social messages, is in itself something to be really appreciated. And thatā€™s why Iā€™ve decided to share a few things Iā€™ve known regarding the topic, ā€˜Organic farmingā€™.

Organic farming system in India is not new and is being followed from ancient time. It is a method of farming system which aims at cultivating the land and raising crops in such a way, as to keep the soil alive and in good health by use of organic wastes (crop, animal and farm wastes, aquatic wastes) and other biological materials along with beneficial microbes (biofertilizers) to release nutrients to crops for increased sustainable production in an eco friendly pollution free environment.

As per the definition of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) study team on organic farming ā€œorganic farming is a system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic inputs (such as fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, feed additives etc) and to the maximum extent feasible rely upon crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, off-farm organic waste, mineral grade rock additives and biological system of nutrient mobilization and plant protectionā€.

FAO ( Food and Agriculture Organisation) suggested that ā€œOrganic agriculture is a unique production management system which promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity, and this is accomplished by using on-farm agronomic, biological and mechanical methods in exclusion of all synthetic off-farm inputsā€.

A natural balance needs to be maintained at all cost for existence of life and property. The obvious choice for that would be more relevant in the present era, when these agrochemicals which are produced from fossil fuel and are not renewable and are diminishing in availability. It may also cost heavily on our foreign exchange in future.

Helicopter at Mary Hill

Chief Minister had come to Mangalore yesterday for the National Youth Festival.  He came by helicopter. In the evening, after coming back from school, I saw the helicopter in the helipad.  I went near the helipad and saw that. There were two seets in the front and six seats in the back. So nice. I told my father that we all can go in that helicopter.

V - The Movie

Image
ā€˜Vā€™ is a Telugu action-thriller film, starring Nani and Sudheer Babu in lead roles, alongside Aditi Rao and Nivetha Thomas. It has been one of the most anticipated movies to be released on an OTT platform. The speciality of this film is that this would be the first time ā€˜Natural Starā€™ Nani would be seen as an antagonist. Sudheer Babu plays the role of a police cop. The storyline is quite interesting, as Nani has been portrayed as a serial killer during the beginning. Each frame of every scene seems so perfect, it will really make you feel that it would have been the best in theatres. The action scenes of the film were so meticulously shot, with the appropriate ā€˜amountā€™ of music, I would say. Itā€™s not exactly a revenge story, itā€™s a crime thriller. It revolves around Vishnu (Nani) having a long lost connection with Adityaā€™s past (Sudheer Babu). This movie was planned to be released in theatres on 25 March, on the occasion of Ugadi, but due to the pandemic, it was postponed. It ha...

Visit to ice factory

Today, Jyothi miss, Sucharitha miss and Shubha miss took us to an ice factory near . B.C road. I thought that the ice factory would be very big but it was so small and it looked like a house. There were many machines inside the factory. The first machine that I saw was called the ice plant. There were many pipes also. The floors of the second room were made of wood. Then I saw a man taking a long stick and he was pulling out the wooden tiles. Inside those were huge containers. It was filled with cold water. There was a total of 506 containers. I saw 2 men taking out the containers with some machine and keeping it in another place. Then, they took the frozen ones and took the ice out. After that, they took the huge blocks of ice to another room and crushed it into pieces. There was a machine  for that. Then, we saw another big cylindrical  container filled with ice. Jyothi miss told us that the temperature of it was -2. There were pipes all around. We enjoyed our field trip ve...
