Shoes and other stories: Vegetables
Follow the stream on your left and as you cross the last bridge to the reach the domkyrkan, you will find a small vegetable market only on Saturdays. Farmers, mostly from Enköping come here to sell there produce which includes mushrooms, leeks, berries, honey and pumpkin among other things. This market is frequented mostly by old people. People who hate 6-minute microwave food right out of the freezer racks of an Ica store. The market also tells quite a lot about Sweden’s rich agricultural history.
I met Jack, originally from Thailand, runs a small little farm outside of Enköping with his mother and four sisters. His mother along with his sisters migrated from Thailand when Jack was four years old. Jack did not mind a photo with his mushrooms.
Another interesting man was Tim. He too owned a farm outside Enköping. Tim is super-interested about eco-farming. He was happy to hear about our project and wanted to help. He believed that the damage caused to the crops when no pesticides are used can be handled with extra labour and maintenance. As of now, Tim opened his farm to us for research and sampling. He also invited me to a party at his farm on 15th of August!
Tim refused to pose. So this is as close as it gets.

Breakfast,bureaucracy and a beautiful city.
The journey to Gangtok was long but not for a second felt tiring. Up to the development area, Nettle and fern was full so had to settle with the BlueBell, which we thought, was two-storey but actually is six-storied .We had sort of a re-union at this cosy little place downhill, met Mahesh abruptly and drowned my tiredness in a peg of Old Monk. Not to mention I slept like a baby.
Breakfast, Oh Breakfast!! Probably had the best breakfast in a long time at the Nettle n Fern. Amazing place with an amazing view. It is one of those places which grow into you. Place like these really tests the elasticity of your happiness.
A ride down to the forest department, needed to get the paperwork in place.
In Place!!! Wait what was I thinking. In Bengali we have an expression "michrir chhuri" which literally translates to "knife made out of sugar". Permit not given as of now,doors to be knocked, pressure to be meted.
As we consoled ourselves over Chilli Pork and 'Dans'berg beer at HotLix, we discussed about the city and ferrel dogs. Did you know when domesticated pets become wild they really screw up the actual wildlife?
It is raining and I'm off for a reassuring cup of coffee to Rachna's- a small bookshop uphill. There's something about the people here.
