Turned out that she was catching fresh water river prawns with nothing more than a bamboo woven half basket; and she proudly and happily showed us her catch.

Modern living has alienated us so much from nature that the sight of someone going out there and catching something for the family for dinner is such a novelty and rarity; if ever seen at all. However if we were to depend on nature for our food (which we do!) in such an manner, issues such as degradation and destruction of our environment would be inconceivable if not downright insane. And the way that we are treating our planet and ourselves is insane. So we are not that ‘developed’ or ‘advanced’ after all! Vision 2020 or turning a blind eye to what we should do rightly do on the road to 'progress'. Butter prawns anyone?
