ABEEDA'S FIELDS
HAVE YOU ALL SEEN THIS? MY PLANT FINALLY HAS CHILLIES!
ISN'T THIS WONDERFUL!?
”I LOVE MY PLANTS. ISN'T IT EXCITING TO HAVE YOUR OWN GARDEN!
YOU CAN GROW SO MANY THINGS“
”LOOK AT ALL THESE DIFFERENT POTS I HAVE!
WHENEVER SOMEONE FINDS A POT IN THE KHATTA, THEY BRING IT TO ME“
”I LOVE PLANTS SO MUCH, BECAUSE I GREW AROUND THEM.
MY FAMILY CULTIVATES RICE BACK HOME. THEY WORK FOR OTHER LAND OWNERS, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE OUR OWN“
”TO GROW ANYTHING HERE, YOU HAVE TO BUY SOIL AND MANURE.
YOU SEE, THE SOIL HERE IS SO POLLUTED THAT IT IS DEAD. ONLY A FEW PLANTS SURVIVE HERE, LIKE THE BABOOL“
”I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE FIELDS WERE WHERE I BELONGED. I HELPED MY MOTHER AND SISTERS ALL THROUGH THE DAY“
”THAT WAS ONLY TILL MY PARENTS FOUND A BOY FOR ME AND I MOVED TO DELHI AFTER I GOT MARRIED”
”I STILL LOOK FOR TREASURE IN THE GROUND EVERYDAY, IN THE KHATTA”
”MY PARENTS ARE STILL FARM LABOURERS, BACK HOME.”
”MY PLANTS MIGHT BE THRIVING, BUT MY PARENTS SAY THAT FARMING IS GETTING DIFFICULT AND IT IS TOUGH TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES NOW”
”DIDI, DID YOU SEE MY CHILLI PLANT?!”
