Lokarpan - Rediscovering the Miracle of the Millet with Miraculous Millet

Millets are the wonder grains of India. They had been with us, since more than 5000 years but left ignored for long. Let’s come together and accept these Millets for the prosperity of Indian farmers and our good health.The Miraculous Millet is bringing the lost glory of the wonder grain back to our daily lives.


The event Lokarpan focussed on the healthy grains and a panel discussion was held wherein points discussed ranged from Culinary and Nutritional aspects of millets to importance of millet to farmers, economy, and society in general.

                               


The importance of Millet can be gauged from the fact that they can be grown with minimal resources and no insecticides or pesticides are required for them. They also prove to be water effective as their requirement is way less than other crops. So if you look from the farmer's perspective, even if he/she is constrained by resources can grow a crop which is healthy and useful.

                              

From the society's perspective too it is much better. Most of the grains we eat today are over-processed. A process that robs them off most of their nutritional qualities. Millets not being processed as much retain their health benefits. Gluten free, they are also good for people suffering from diabetes.

This was followed by the official launch of the product range of Miraculous Millet with great enthusiasm and optimism that a great step has been taken to promote a healthy alternative to all the processed flour and grains we are consuming on daily basis.

Post the event, Chef Sabyasachi Roy treated us all to a scrumptious meal, using Millet as a common ingredient. I especially loved the Ragi Halwa.







































Miraculous Millet is a social enterprise that aims to provide economic security to small and marginal farmers through conservation and promotion of indigenous crops. It is part of Wooden Spoon Agro Pvt Ltd. that aims to provide economic security to small and marginal farmers through conservation and promotion of indigenous crops. They have established a small processing unit at Seoni district and have around 120 farmers as partners.

Spill the Tea: Noor and the Silence After Doing Everything right

Noor has done everything she was supposed to do — moved out, built a life, stayed independent. Yet beneath the neat routines and functional success lies a quiet emptiness she cannot name. Part of the Spill the Tea series, this story explores high-functioning loneliness, emotional flatness, and the unsettling fear of living a life that looks complete from the outside. The verandah was brighter than Noor expected. Morning light lay flat across the tiles, showing every faint scuff mark, every water stain from old monsoons. The air smelled of detergent from a neighbour’s washed curtains flapping overhead. On the table, the paneer patties waited in a cardboard bakery box I’d emptied onto a plate. A squeeze bottle of ketchup stood beside it, slightly sticky around the cap. Two cups of tea, steam already thinning. In one corner, a bamboo palm stood in a large terracotta planter. Thin stems. Too many leaves. Trying very hard to look like it belonged indoors. Noor sat down and pulled the chair ...

Why do we crave bookshops when life falls apart? A deep reading of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

This article reflects on Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum, a gentle novel about burnout, healing, and second chances. Through Yeong-ju and her quiet community, the book reminds you that meaning often returns slowly, through books, people, and ordinary days that begin to feel like home again. Why do so many of us secretly dream of walking away from everything? At some point, usually on a crowded weekday morning or during yet another meeting that could have been an email, you wonder if this is all there is. You did what you were told. You studied, worked hard, built a career, stayed responsible. And yet, instead of contentment, there is exhaustion. Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop begins exactly at this uncomfortable truth. Hwang Bo-reum’s novel does not shout its intentions. It does not promise transformation through grand revelations. Instead, it sits beside you quietly and asks a gentler question. What if the problem is not that you failed, but that you nev...
