A tribal farmer from Wayanad died this week at 74. In his old mud house, he kept more than 60 traditional rice varieties alive.

His name was Cheruvayal Raman. People called him Ramettan.

He belonged to the Kurichya tribe in Wayanad, Kerala. When he was 17, his uncle died, and the family's traditional rice seeds came to him.

Wayanad once had around 160 native rice varieties. Most of them have disappeared.

He grew each old variety in its own small plot. Every year he harvested it, dried the seeds, and stored them in his mud house for the next season.

He stopped using chemical fertiliser in 1978. He said the earthworms came back after that.

It cost him around Rs 70,000 a year. Some years, his family lived on ration rice.

When other farmers came asking, mostly tribal families, he gave them seeds without taking money.

In 2023, he got the Padma Shri. Kerala Agricultural University made him a professor of practice.

He once said, "Don't call me a hero. Make sure the seeds survive. That is enough."

Everytime I want to remind myself of why India became what it is, I listen to this podcast, one of the most satisfying things I have done in my career. A young scientist talks of why science is about rationality and not emotion, a priest reminds his parish that science and spirituality are the same. India's embrace of science and technology put it on the path to progress. The scientists in the 50s and 60s were such patriots. Do listen #MissionISRO @Spotify

That massive Dhoni six may have ironically cost CSK the match, because the ball had to be replaced, and Yash Dayal could bowl his back of the hand balls much better with the drier replacement ball than he could have if the ball was wet.

Entered my bank branch asking for home loan dept. Three people came to me. When I said I have come to bring down the interest rate and make a prepayment, all three have disappeared into a mysterious abyss 😀😀
