“I needed a few curry leaves for that dish too.” 

“OK.” 

“Pumpkin curry without curry leaves is no curry at all.” 

“I know that a curry without curry leaf is not a curry at all 

but you should have asked me for the curry leaves before you pick 

them,” Mia did not appear mad but was not pleased.” 

“Well next time I will ask you for the leaves before I pick the 

leaves,” Juggernaut appeared sincere. 

“There were not many leaves left on the plant so give a break 

until the plant recovers to grow to put more leaves.” 

“May be you should consider applying fertilizer to the plant to 

grow fast,” suggested Juggernaut. 

“I am an organic farmer you know; I will put more of donkey 

dung along with goat and horse droppings to the plant.” 

“With my soil chemistry background, I suggest that you don't 

put fresh animal dung to any plant let alone to the precious curry 

plant, it will kill the plant. First compost the fresh animal dung for 

several weeks then apply to the plant to benefit.” 

“I will do that but I suggest that you buy your own curry plant 

at the nursery,” suggested Mia looking at her curry plant. 

“Certainly I will do that,” Juggernaut agreed. After few days, 

he found at his front porch a potted curry plant with a note that 

read “Keep cooking curry with curry leaves,” a gift from Mia. Now 

Juggernaut travels on the island with a portable potted curry plant for 

fresh curry leaves to make curry.
