Coconut is part of our everyday life - it's considered the most sacred fruit, and we have got four plants, and some of them showed sign of getting sick - ya like us, plants shows symptoms.
As you can see, the leaves tell you their health is in alarming condition and a doctor should be called in. So we have a coconut firm nearby, from where I got a contact and I requested him to deal this urgently. I had to first send some advance - ya coconut doctors are in high demand because of scarcity. But they are not committed, failing on couple of occasions and finally they wanted to come on the day, when I took my parents for Doctor consultation. I know we will be in a hurry and I told them to come back later, but they said, they will finish before we go - they work in ultra fast mode. Really ? Ok, as you wish.....
Morning 8'o clock this guy walks in and says his job is only on the top of the plant - cutting down and putting medicines. There will be another team that will do the ground work - Man, you got a team, huh !!!
Looking at his climbing skill, I was so surprised that I grabbed the camera, to take his shots. By the time I would even focus and click, he would have moved. Within 40 minutes, he finished the treatment of all four plants, cutting down those extra branches, keeping medicine on the top and then ready to leave - hey, can you also cut a banana stem - I would have taken at least 20 mins, he did it in 2 mins climbing the wall like a pro - you got skill man, I gave him 4 bananas in reward. While he was leaving, a thought came in - can robots replace them in future ? May be it's possible, but I don't think, AI can be superior to natural intelligence in these cases ? Only time will tell...
And there were coconuts everywhere, he did not bother to touch them. After few mins their ground team came in, as we were in a hurry, I did not have time to look after them. They put medicines in the soil, after digging in round shape, and brought all the coconuts to the store room.
There are coconuts everywhere to serve our needs for next few months, the only difficulty is peeling them, with only Mom and me having that skill. Someone came in offering to buy them, but they buy in half the price of what we buy from market - better we will do a little hard work peeling them..
So this skill is at end of service after me - I doubt, our kids will ever do as many things that we are capable of, learning them hard way...
And the coconut team also came with a newer variety of coconut plant which would be fruiting almost near to the ground - I paid them and got planted only one, I will be monitoring it and sharing it's story in another ten years......I am sure, it's going to be fun watching it grow.
