One can understand the character of the person living inside, by taking a look at their fence. It’s unnecessary that we spend so much on a fence, using up valuable space where plants and animals can thrive. Indian villages are the best place to understand native fencing materials and methods. They have a unique character of welcoming through their natural fences that are durable for generations. Rather than shutting people out with huge wall compounds, the light fences just serve for protection against animals. One can understand the different range of materials available in a village, through the components used in their fence. Natural and living fences provide us with a micro-ecosystem, unlike conventional fences that eventually rust or rot. Growing and living plants used in the fence are referred to as living fences. Dried plants and other by-products used in the fence are referred to as natural fences. Both these types of fences can be done in multiple, simple ways, with easily available materials. Natural and living fences have many benefits. They act towards the prevention of grazing, prevention of vision, windbreakers, economic providers and even ornamentation. Also, fences are very important to conserve water and prevent soil erosion within a site. They create a micro-climate and help prevent water evaporation. Many such factors contribute to the choosing of the plant species to be used in the fence. Natural fences are simple to make with materials available from t...

I knew only one thing about kodukapuli when I saw it in the markets this summer: that it reminded me of my childhood. It’s not one of those enduring, central memories, mind; more of an incidental thing that these would appear in markets as the summer got hot, and some uncle or parent would buy bagful, usually impulsively, while we were on foot from somewhere to somewhere else, and we’d commence snacking. They were weird fruits, cottony in texture almost, and with a sort of sweet-sourness that you could enjoy, but enough astringency to leave your mouth feeling a touch chap-chap, like when you bite an unripe banana, like it had a coating all over you needed to scrape off. But, because snacking is addictive, and these leguminous fruits are easy to peel and pop, we’d keep at them. One of those nibble-your-way-through-the-world enjoyments. Just that and nothing more. I didn’t know then that kodukapuli, which just felt like such a quintessentially Indian fruit, so much of it around all over the place, and a rustic, thattu-vandi [push-cart] treat, was not indigenous to India at all. Heavens, it is also called “jungli jalebi” as its twisted form resembles our beloved jalebis sweetmeats. Then again, it’s also called “ bilayati imli” (northern dialects) and cheema chintakayalu (Telugu)– foreign tamarind, so I might have guessed. But I didn’t. Turns out, I wasn’t the only one to make such a mistake. “Pithecellobium dulce was described in 1795 from the Coast of Coromandel in India,” w...
