One Fine Morning

One fine morning in 2017, I decided to plant pineapples at SDO(C) Residence in Dadenggre. The resolve was a result of a preceding field visit to Chibinang, a place famous for extremely sweet variety of pineapple. As I joined the Mali in digging up the holes, he teasingly remarked, “Sir it will take 3-4 years to fruit, you will not be here”. I pointed towards all the flowers planted by previous incumbents amidst whose fragrance we stood. He perhaps understood.  


One fine morning in 2021, the present SDO(C) Dadenggre shares  a picture of a plate full of pineapple pieces sparkling with a delicious shade of yellow. “Thank you, they are amazing!”, he remarked. It felt great to know they came through. He tells me that they have also planted lots of other fruits this year. 


One fine morning, few years down the line, the story shall go on.
