NOW: LIME TIME AND MONEY, NEXT : Plan it ‘NOW’, LATER: ‘EARLY is better’ ………………………


Before go to 'now, next later' lets talk a little about the term 'development' - shall i name it 'lime in development' or is it better to say 'lime and development'. yours to decide. 

(DEVELOPMENT IS NOT JUST A SINGLE WORD’- ‘but a  ‘CONTRIBUTION OF ‘HUGE TEAM WORK’
DO IT RIGHT AND DONATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
EVERY POSSIBLE WAY
VERIFY THE IDEAS GAINED WITH OTHERS
EFFICIENCY IS VITAL SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT
LEADER WILL PROVIDE THE SPACE
OBSERVER WHAT OTHERS DO TAKE WHAT YOU SHOULD TAKE
PROFESSIONALISM WILL ADD TOTAL-NESS/FULLNESS TO THE IDEA
MONEY IS NOT THE ONLY RESOURCE NEED BUT A MAIN THING
EXPERTS WILL GUIDE
TEAM WORK IS DEVELOPMENT AFTER ALL.


NOW: LIME TIME AND MONEY
There are seasons for everything or for some things . Some things are plural in some periods but also can be seen in other seasons. Some things can be used in ‘all seasons’ also can be seen in every season or all seasons.  
When the season comes things become cheaper but when the relevant seasons are gone things will become ‘so expensive’.
LIME - this is a kind of seasonal and off seasonal fruit / vegetable. Is this something that can be recognized as something in between fruits and vegetables or is it belongs to both the categories?

When you have extra money it is good to invest without letting your mind think and worry ‘gone with don’t know way’. Then only you can use them when ‘the off season of life’ comes before you.

There is a peak time in everyone’s life that is one’s fruitful season if one can think of her/his own life. ‘not all the seasons are fruit- full seasons or not all the life periods are full of fruitful ideas.

I learnt these through my experiences.  There was a time I work non stop. But I had no ability to in ‘proper management in finance’. That is one thing or something that you may learn in the latter season of your life. Sometimes you have the ability to earn money but you may have the disability to ‘maintain it or do not have the ideas to invest them in an intelligent way’.  

Human body is a kind of a ‘machine’’ when it is brand new or fresh’ it works and it does wonders. The machines get older or needs to get it repaired once in a way. When the off seasons of life comes you have some time then to repair the machine ‘go and get some health check ups’ check pressure or ‘total medical check up’ wiser thing to do is to ‘follow a healthy path in eating and do exercise when ever possible. For a better work in one’s mind and heart machines. 

So when the dehi/lime season comes we can save some or the extras for the future purposes ‘we can use them when the off season comes with no problems or without complaining about the ‘raised prices of such things. 

Today my Nangi/sister bought just a one lime because the prices have gone up it is because this is the ‘off season’ am I right? Lime is not plural these days.
The lime growers are different compared to the other cultivators of other crops. They have to do some other additional work/businesses to get a proper income for the HH. That is not the problem of anything that is the nature of such business. It is not use to blame the ‘drought’ or to rain for such things. Therefore they should try some alternative to improve their income. Like we produce ‘yoghurt ‘, curd’ or other milk products like milky chocolates, milky biscuits etc.

When the off season comes ‘your product will get a good demand than ever before’
Thinking of lime I can not forget - LUNU dehi -LIME PICKLE
 
( Ms Mallika Joseph’ shall we tell the world ‘how to make ‘lunu dehi via Nuga sevana’?) 

This idea of ‘lunu dehi’ took my thoughts several years backward, the period that the Gypsies’ Lunu dehi became a hit in this society.  That is musical ‘Lunu dehi’,this group tries to explain the place and the taste it holds in the society.

Gypsies go from place to place and spread the ideas. ‘Let’s take this ‘Gypsies’ ideas in to development. ‘How can we take our ideas of development across the country?’ like the Gypsies go from place to place with ‘music’. That is not only for the ‘own development of the owner of the group’ but this going to here and there will also benefit the ‘whole group and its members. The group of singers, the light people, the announcers, the stage makers, the vehicle providers, the refreshment providers, the three wheelers, the taxi owners, the transport the necessary thing near the ‘stage of music’, the benefit will not only goes the listeners or to the music lovers there are many other who will benefit from such thing.
Development is something like that.

Even if the present or the ‘future ‘groups start something good ‘you can not say that you will not benefit from it. That is selfish to say like that.

It is NOT ‘who did, who does’ ‘who gave the idea’ ‘if he gives do not take’ if they give take the idea’ ‘who will do it’ WHAT IS IMPORTANT HERE IS THAT ‘what we should do’ ‘how we should plan it’ and practice it’ are the most important thing in development and in business. ‘in development there is less chances for ‘jealousy’ ‘selfishness’ if this enters the body of development there will never be any development to be seen.

Those who practiced this ‘have won’ we can see that in every where. 

Lunu dehi does not show any ethnic differences or language barricades or religious differences.  That is a multi - national kind of a ‘many loved’, ‘anytime’ ‘better with rice and curry’  ‘if like eat with anything’ kind of a food variety not a main meal though. 

This will add an extra flavor to your main meal of your choice.

One can even ask or order this with a set menu. Even in Buffet kind of a meal arrangements this can be seen. If not you can order but do not know whether some of the hoteliers/restaurants have them ready. I am sure they have.

Raja geyatai -Pel pathatai
Eka wage -Salakanne
Pera kala sita pawathenne
( this is the rough translation - ‘treats equally, this shows no ‘differences’ in kings palaces or in poor houses, comes from the ancient times) 

If you really want to taste it or to full fill your ‘food desires of your choice’ it is just a ‘request away’ and ‘any moment appear on the dining table’ surprise with some attractive outer decoration’ that is of course only will possible with the talents of a good chef’. But will disappear from the table the way you treat it or handle it’

Don’t know whether the champion ‘Suuper star’ of Derana (the winner of the ‘cooking contest organized by the Derana television channel to select the best chef from the armatures (?)) knows to make ‘Lunu Dehi’

Congratulations to you and to ‘lime inventors’ of the world !!!!!!!!!

This is how you should prepare ‘My way of ‘lunu dehi’- ‘I learnt from ‘our country teachers way’ and learnt as a kid thanks to the ‘GUNASENA SUUPER SHASHTRAYA’  the vital cookery book of ‘my childhood’’ still have it’ and still use it. Thank you.

Few limes (take any number of limes as you wish)
Salt
A well dried /clean clay pot (this is the oldest way) if not use a well sterilized a bottle with a wide lid 

Take a lime cut in to four equal parts leaving some space in the bottom part of the lime to get hold the salt without splitting all over too much.

Follow the same with the remaining lime and keep them in the readied clay pot methodically and close it tightly not letting it spoil from out side food spoiling things to enter it’ if you do not have a lid you can cover the clay pot with a clean dried piece of cloth and keep it in a place where there is not much moisture.

Do not forget to use a non ironic/non metallic spoon. Lime is kind of acidic thing will react in different way in different times depending on the way you use it. This will take few weeks to get to the level you want ‘or up to the level that it is ready to eat’ or ‘for you to serve it on the table of love. Observe it until the green or yellow lime turn in to ‘earthy brown’ that is the ‘right time’ to use them. 

‘lunu dehi’ is ‘any twin kind’ and ‘can keep a side of your plate of rice & curry’’ can turn this in to a good sources of income’ thing.

 Do you think that this will add some extra look to your ‘plate of rice & curry’ please be kind enough to inform ‘footpath’ if you think so.

This will add an extra taste to your plate of meal and this will boost the immune system which allows you for a better digesting process I guess. (am I right dear doctors?) 

As we know it is always good and safer to follow a ‘middle path of eating habits’ to avoid any other unnecessary changes in the areas of digesting.

Ownema deyak ownewata wadaa Honda neha 

Nothing is good if you consume or use too much of any food item/eatables unnecessarily.

After their lunu dehi we remember they were ordering a lady

Piti kotapan none ……………
Piti halapan none
Heta udeta kannata mata indiyappan owne ……….

Grind the flour lady …………
I need string hoppers early morning tomorrow

Let’s not waste the gunny bags full of lime talents that can be seen under the ‘lime trees during the season.  

If you know the technology ad the technique we can bottle the juice without harming the originality ‘the thickness’ or ‘goodness’ ‘should bottled in a very standard way’.
During lime time -save some lime - make some pickle, earn some money. 

NEXT: Plan it ‘NOW’

Plan it today - do not postpone. Do not keep any space to say ‘the lime season is gone we could not plan or did nothing’ ‘let’s face the lime time in a proper way’
‘aiyo dehi waareth iwarai apita beri unaane ‘lunu dehi tikak hadala thiya ganna’.

This is not actually a reminder for ‘the lime growers only’ ‘ all other ‘have some money in hand’ ‘have some ideas in mind’ ‘know some technique groups’ ‘have some market place people’ ‘know how to do it’, ‘know some countries prefer these’, ‘understand the demands and resources groups’ ALSO I say this to myself as well. Footpath is my daily reminder to ‘my own mind on many things’ as well. I am happy that some of you read them. 

Things just come to my mind I write them on the pages of ‘footpath’. These are not the ideas of an expert these are the ideas of a learner. I am a learner. ‘I like sharing them with ‘my essay readers’ as well. Everyone has some ideas or at least one particular idea on ‘one particular thing’ or many things’.  Some has a way to share, to tell it to the friends, and share it with the world. 

Luckily I have this path’ create your own path’ ‘say what you have to say to the listeners’ the ones who respect your ideas’ ‘to the one that does not ignore or do not say ‘no value’to your ideas you happily share with others. 

But unfortunately not all have a way there may be some practical restrictions or barricades or the truth is sometimes ‘some do not find a way to share, and there is another thing also ‘some do not listen to the ideas of others than criticizing’ 

‘Criticism’ is so vital in the areas of ‘development’ but at the same time one should try to ‘suggest your suggestions’ ‘let the experts to accept or decide or practice it’.
Criticizing we should do in a standard or accepted way.

All suggestible or ‘suggested’ are not always ‘right or practical’ we are human. Most of us are not experts. We need to admit that. I am not an engineer or a ‘food processing expert or a scientist’ knowing that I should share or express my ideas in sitting in the area of ‘outsider or an amateur ‘ or learner ‘ ‘not an expert’ a viewer’ ‘listener’ ‘ reader’ leaving some space for the expert to decide on what I say’ or ‘suggest’ on something. 

Entering a university will not let you learn every possible thing about life or about development there is ‘the society – the university’, ‘people’ - the university’. These are located outside to the ‘recognized as universities ‘the identified sectors’ ‘students – lectures’, academic – non academic frame work’ there are much more outside to this frame of fields. 

Some can suggest this and that’ ‘none can accept’ ‘or ‘admit’’ ‘suggested may do not do it in practice’ ‘Why’?

To practice in real world ‘what you have in side’’ own suggestions’ ‘you need to have the required qualifications, if one holds the both the talents and ‘ideas as well as the required environment’ one can start doing it. 

There are other things important ‘power to practice or to set up or to start’ something that benefit the ‘whole big society’’ the world’, ‘the capital, ‘the decision making power’ ‘just having some ideas will not fulfill or succeed something’ there are other things that one required.

I am not a lime grower nor I have ‘a land that can be grown lime’ but I can see that lime is a fairly good source of income’ ‘ do you think that I should not suggest or share my ideas just because I can not get the benefits or any income from lime? 

We live in an area where there is no ‘threat of wild animals’ and also I do not have a land close to kala weva that the wild elephant harm always. But there are people of our country who send their sweat of grain to the area that I live’ can we forget that.

 ‘It is alright to share any ideas if you have your within for the benefit of our people even if you do not get results ‘directly or indirectly ‘never benefit’. ‘Selfishness’ only will drag the idea of ‘developing our country’.

One can suggest that person does not have to have the ability to practice it. There are people ‘the power holders’ to practice them’’ development is a HUGE TEAM WORK’   some does not have money but have the ideas. The world is different not everyone has everything. We have no oil in the country but we have many other things that others can se asked or request’ ‘tea’ rubber’ coconut’, ‘paddy’ etc ‘ that is how the world will develop’ ‘by sharing the available resources ‘ not using selfish way’, you can give it a different name ‘import or export’. 

 LATER; ‘EARLY is better’

Postponing things are the worst part of any; life development processes or the any development processes even this will applicable to ‘self life development’.
‘Now’ is the best time to start something not later I believe. I have sometime this ‘not now later’mentality’ I know that this ‘drag you from improving’ or development’
I noticed how some of the things solved’ not only giving answers on time also ‘practice it on the spot’.

So finally if we can follow these things accurately getting ‘the ideas and suggestions of all’
 JEEWITHAYA LASSANAI’ am I right? ‘mulu lokema diyunui’ ‘the whole world will be developed’
