Harvest euphoria.

I can't justify this but I felt elated to see some agricultural produce being dug out from the ground, plucked from the branches and trees. Perhaps it's a natural joy, a certain joy that kept the agriculturally active ancestors working in the fields and forests. In this concrete jungle, how many of us has the chance to witness the unearthing of tapioca and potato, the plucking of rambutans, durians, mangos and papayas ?
I've never been failed to be amazed and joyed by such events. Though the rambutan tree was tall and dangerous to attempt, I still vividly recall hitting off rambutans for the ground crew to pick up, fellow friends too returned from the harvesting with a great laugh and lighted mind.
Watching tapioca being unearthed by the encik, I was equally thrilled.
At times it's the uniqueness of the fruit and the surprises it gives that enthralls people. I remembered a few days back when this particular papaya was plucked and I sniffed the dripping sap. To my surprise it smelled splendid! It'd be a hit in the ladies perfume market!
It's more of a citrus, fruity nature by the way, surprising enough for a papaya. Haha.

Anyway, I was glad Care Corner replied. Now I need to make a visit to the centre to familiarise then I'd be mentoring kids! Oddly enough, I ponder over how I can cultivate self-esteem in them when after 19 years of living, my perception of self-confidence waivers. Perhaps at times I get too masked by external markers and happenings.
