During the Chennai floods, not one of us noticed that the Banana plant had flowered. Either the flower fell off during the showers, which is unlikely, or some some aleck managed to flich the banana flower for himself. However it happened, I noticed the fact last week.
Having lost the banana flower, and the fruits, I was determined not to lose the tender core of the plant’s trunk. So, Sunday morning was the time to bring down the banana plant – it was actually a tree – standing some 20 feet tall, and weighing goodness knows how many kilos. More on that workout later.
After extracting the shoot, dividing it between every flat in the apartment, I decided to play silly. Tied up the white strips at one end, wore it like a wig or toupee, and grabbed the small left over fruits in my teeth. Only forgot the selfie stick, so there are no full view shots.
I thought it would look like ‘Dutch’ hiding from the Predator, or maybe a salt-and-pepper Chewbacca. Alas, it ended up like a poor man’s Ghillie suit. Have a laugh.
